TLDR: Summarize Anything

TLDR: Summarize Anything is a plugin to shorten long documents and aid in research. Often long documents are difficult to quickly skim over and catch the relevant parts. TLDR uses AI to automate this process, generating multiple lengths so you can get a summary, a 25% and a 50% view of the document. It also offers the full view in an easier to read layout. If you want to find more articles like the one you are reading, click the "Find Related" button to get articles on the same content. Aren't sure if the article you read is trust worthy?
