Hey PH peeps! 👋 Today, we're excited to be launching synopsis, a SaaS API that allows you to easily extract and summarize the main content from any webpage or article! The API couldn't be simpler to try out -- we offer a rate-limited free tier, so just copy and paste one of the curl examples into your favorite shell to test things out. 🤔 What's synopsis? • Uses state of the art AI to extract the core content of any webpage • Uses a variety of metrics to generate quality text summaries • Summarizes html or text content • Utilizes html structure as a signal of text importance • Includes basic abstractive shortening of extracted sentences • Thoroughly tested and used in production • Hosted by Saasify 💪 What makes us different? • Cost effective - Building off of serverless functions means you'll only pay for the API calls you use. • Get going fast - Try out the REST API for FREE and then sign up with your GitHub account and Stripe. • Open Source! ⚡ One of the main reasons we've built this product on top of serverless functions is because they allow our customers to scale economically to any size workload. With our APIs, you only pay for what you use, so you'll never pay for API requests you don't actually use. @chrisvxd and I are happy to answer any questions you may have 😀 We hope you love it and can't wait for your feedback! Thanks! Travis & the Saasify team

I have done sign up. But i don't know how to use this. Is there any standalone application for Synopsis?

@abishekhkc Hi, the best way of using it, is by calling through code. Have a look at https://synopsis.saasify.sh/docs..., where we use httpie to do request to the API, it is also possible to use your favorite programming language to make requests to the API with your token. :)

@abishekhkc Hi Abishekh! Thanks for signing up! Unfortunately we only have a developer API. If you're not a developer, then clearly we need to work on our messaging! If you are, here's an example URL: https://api.saasify.sh/1/call/de... synopsis will go to the https://www.theonion.com/fun-toy... URL, read the article and summarise the most important content for you. You can swap out the URL after `url=` for anything you want. Additionally, if you haven't already, make sure to check out: * Our examples https://synopsis.saasify.sh/docs... * Our APIs documentation https://synopsis.saasify.sh/docs...

Cool! I'm curious how this particular offering fits in with the others in the Saasify portfolio as those seem (to me at a quick glance) geared towards businesses growing and managing more classical customer acquisition/retention/conversion. Summarization seems to be useful more as a type of ecosystem monitoring/analytics type play and would be more niche. Perhaps this is a foray into AI services to see if there is demand?

@jim_kleban Thanks for the interest -- I think you're confusing us with a similarly named company. You can find more info on us here http://saasify.sh
Jim Kleban
@fisch0920 Oh my, you are right I did mix this up! I am sorry. No wonder why I was confused. Google had led me astray. This offering makes much more sense with a focus on developers from what I see on http://saasify.sh. Thanks for pointing this out.

@jim_kleban no worries haha -- let me know if you're interested in chatting about any potential use cases. Not sure if you're still at FB, but I used to work there as well!

Whoa! I'm in Marketing and need to read huge amounts of material everyday. I've lost count of the number of years for which I've been looking for something like this. That said, I'm in Marketing, and I got stumped by geeky stuff like cURL on your website. If there's a UI someday where I can simply enter an URL (e.g. https://gtm360.com/blog/2019/11/...) and hit a button, I'd definitely love to give this a try.

Hey @s_ketharaman! We just added a "Playground" feature to the home page, so you can now just enter a URL and get a summary :)
S. Ketharaman
@chrisvxd Great and thank you. I tried it on 3 of my blog posts. The results are "not bad". I'm sure, with all the AI / ML you're using, they can only get better going forward.

would b great to see it in action with some URLS we can provide .. like a demo mode or something
Travis Fischer
Maker
@saijogeorge For sure :) feel free to copy and paste the example curl command into your console and run it on any URL you'd like. We're working on adding a UI for this shortly. Thanks!

Hey @saijogeorge! We added this to the UI! Feel free to check it out and let us know what you think.

Hey @alalimoe - we were having some issues which I think we've now resolved. Please try again and let me know if you're still receiving this error message. Apologies.

@lnchoi Thanks for the kind words, Ellen :)

Is it helpful for research papers?
Travis Fischer
Maker
@abdulla_difalla Hey Abdulla, I don't believe that research papers will summarize very well with our current implementation as they tend to be very dense and our algorithm is more generic. Sorry, but I'd rather be honest about what we support :)
