What each one does

Summarize

  • Summarizes articles, blog posts, and web pages from any URL
  • 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

Smart Meeting Notes

  • Extracts key decisions, action items with owners and due dates, and open questions from meeting transcripts
  • Organizes discussion points into concise topic summaries with notable quotes
  • Generates standup-specific formats for daily team check-ins
  • Saves meeting notes automatically and tracks action item completion across past meetings
  • Handles audio recordings by transcribing them first, then processing the text
