• Summarize is a CLI + Chrome/Firefox extension that turns any URL, file, YouTube video, or podcast into a fast summary, with a Chrome Side Panel for chat/history.
• Version 0.10.0 adds transcript-first media handling (using published transcripts or falling back to Whisper), OCR, and timestamped slide extraction from videos.
