    There are many products to summarize long content (e.g. web pages, PDFs, YouTube videos). Do you use any of them to help you read and summarize to save time? What killer feature do you think you will pay for it?

    Not so much, but I did find this website that shows all Hacker News articles with an AI summarization of their content underneath.. as an avid HN reader I have been using it a bit https://hackyournews.com

    Yes, sometimes when there is a vast amount of reading material and limited time.

    Well no, but know that you mention it, I couls try something like that. 1. Summarize the points 2. Get links/directions to the part of the document where i can check the summarized part so if I want to read the full version of that

    YEs, I think it is very useful way to get the information directly! I always use ChatGPT for summary and give me specific information.

    By the way, check out my launch today. I'm introducing an app that helps with writing, not reading, on mobile devices! :)

    I occasionally use ChatGPT to summarize text by simply copying and pasting, but it doesn't work for lengthy documents. I'd be willing to pay for a service that can summarize PDFs, whether they're local or accessed via a link. However, I wouldn't subscribe to such a service since I only need it from time to time. I'd prefer to pay a dollar per document.

    Quite a bit. I love synthesising different view points with that of my own to create some super unique and interesting theories. Being a musician, I think AI is very akin to sampling. It lets you be inspired by various existing literature (music), and create something super new. Grateful to be alive in a time like this.

    No, it's quite strange to delegate the task of reading to AI. It might create a disconnect at the very first stage of information absorption & understanding. If humans don't have time to read, perhaps a change in lifestyle should be considered instead.

    @cld I think it's more like we need to use our limited time to read high-quality information in the background of information overload these days. Maybe AI can help with "pre-reading" and filtering out high-quality pieces of info.
    Chris Lindner
    @cox I do agree your opinion! But I still have a question, because I believe people have to judge the "high-quality" by themselves. If we use AI to do the "pre-reading", how can we let the AI know what is "high-quality" to a person?
    Cox Zhang
    @cld That's a good point. If we ever use AI, we somewhat need to trust them right? :) Prob pre-reading before we can dive deep into any piece we're interested in.

    I would use it to summarise long text or to convert it to a workflow.

    Not at all! I believe I should read to fully comprehend something. Listening won't help. I sometimes use AI to generate digests

    Let me recommend our newly released product: https://docuspeed.ai. It can use the most suitable summarization method for different types of PDF documents, and it strives to ensure the completeness of the content without truncation. We also very much hope to receive everyone’s feedback. :)
