What it does

Summarize the current page

Open the popup and get a structured summary tailored to your preset (Executive, Findings, Methods, or Glossary).

Summarize just your selection

Highlight text first, choose “Selection”, then summarize only that part for focused results.

Simple, readable output

Short, concrete bullets without noisy citations—easy to scan and reuse.

Usage at a glance

See your plan and usage right in the popup. Free plan supported.

Private by default

Content is sent to FlashM only when you click Summarize. We don’t sell your data.

Fast setup

Install → Connect → Summarize. Works on most public web pages.

Notes

Permissions are limited to what’s needed: reading page content to extract text, storing your session/usage locally, and optional notifications when a summary finishes. Some special pages (e.g., Chrome Web Store, internal browser pages) cannot be summarized.

If a page is very long, switch to “Selection” and highlight the part you care about. This is faster and keeps results focused.
