Why say lot word when few do trick

@whizzzoe OMG this is amazing 😻
PS if you like reading tech news but want to do it faster, I made 👉 thetechmemo.com exactly for that purpose 🎉
@itsjeremiahs Thank you Jeremiah! You've built lots of awesome projects! Inspired to see!
wow this is really cool , do you have an API for it? at the moment I am using an api service to summarise articles for an email newsletter app i am making.. if you have an API maybe i could give it a go to see if it gives better results :D -- maybe it can grab the blog author name somehow too?
@graeme_fulton Hey Graeme! Thank you so much for your words! Yeah, I did the same I also used APIs to summarize text. You may check out https://english.api.rakuten.net/ I used it to explore APIs and have found some gems. Thanks to @jed_ng the maker behind this API marketplace.
@graeme_fulton I think we can help you out! Will DM you.
@whizzzoe thanks for the shout out. So proud to see Rakuten RapidAPI power a product of the day!
Congrat on the launch, this is a very clever tool! Pretty useful when in the rush. :)
Pros:Simple, efficient
Cons:none so far
what a cool idea @whizzzoe !
Just tested on some random links to see if the summaries created would be meaningful, and some worked well whilst others didn't.
For instance, with https://www.forbes.com/sites/onm... it would make sense to grab the sub-titles and summarise those into bullet points. Instead, the app grabbed some section of text that doesn't really summarise the key takeaways from the article.
So maybe this is something you could look to improve in future updates?
@whizzzoe This is awesome! To boost SEO, I see many news sites unnecessarily bloat articles, so this is perfect!
A few suggestions
- Create a chrome extension, so you can right click on any page and summarize it
- Display original number of words vs summarized number of words, maybe even time saved
- If its possible, benchmark data would be great. To show how good your algorithm is
@sharathprabhal Thank you so much, Sharath! I'm very grateful to hear your suggestion :) Love your input will def keep this in mind for future roadmap!
@sharathprabhal @whizzzoe good suggestions. would love to see key points broken out into bullet points too if possible.
This could be a major time saver if it were a chrome extension
Pros:Simple, Fast
Cons:- None so far
Thank you Sharath @sharathprabhal for leaving a review! Will keep in mind for the chrome extension too!
Well done Zoe! I tried it out on some crypto articles published recently. It summarises them very well. I'd like to see it bring the title of the article in... maybe extract the H1 or try for the metadata.
I'm guessing the next logical step is to build a SaaS where subscribers can choose topics and have their news feed automatically generated and summarised for them each morning!
@kodemunki Thank you Jurgen! I'm glad it works for you! Yeah I should consider adding the H1 before the URL link generated on the result page. SaaS is a great idea and getting brief news each morning is so awesome!😊
@grooveplex Thank you so much, Barend! 🙏 I'm so grateful that you share with me the bugs. Yeah I'll def keep that in mind to remove/filter the special characters 😅
Curious about the business model behind the implementation!
Pros:Easy to use and does it's magic summarizing the article!
Cons:None so far
Congrats on the launch 🎉 Zoe is a very dedicated maker. Love to see more products from you @whizzzoe 🤗
hey Zoe, did you sell the business? Because the site is not live https://ilazytoread.herokuapp.co...
@fisch0920 Hey Travis! Thanks for leaving a comment. I'm not exactly sure since I'm built it with a ML APIs🤗
@whizzzoe it's a high-level distinction between different types of ML summarization APIs. If you're making this type of product, this is an important distinction to be aware of. A basic summary can be found on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au...
@fisch0920 Thank you so much for sharing this, Travis! I've gained clarity on the distinction. Will study more about the many types ML APIs and their offering. 🤗
