What each one does

Summarize

  • Extracts and summarizes content from local PDFs and text files
  • Pulls transcripts from YouTube videos and turns them into summaries
  • Offers multiple summary lengths (short, medium, long) depending on your needs
  • Works as a fallback transcript extractor when you need the raw text from a video

Notion

  • Creates new pages and databases in your Notion workspace
  • Adds and updates content blocks (paragraphs, lists, headings) on any page
  • Queries databases to find specific items based on filters and sorts
  • Updates page properties like status, dates, tags, and custom fields
