This program aims to solve the problem for those people who find it hard to comprehend and get the necessary information they need when reading difficult and long articles online [1]. The program is a Google extension available to everyone and can summarize the articles users find on all the websites into bullet points, providing a specific explanation when needed [2]. The program contains three important systems, including prompt engineering, flask server, and Google extension. When the user clicks the summarize button, the text on the website will be sent to Chat GPT, and it will summarize the article based on a specific prompt we set [3]. The server allows the program to respond to users’ requests, and Google extensions provide access to end users. We conducted an experiment that tested the accuracy of the summary on 20 different websites and got an average accuracy of 8.35 out of 10. We found out that the program works well for long articles that usually are harder to read, accomplishing our goal to help people read long and difficult articles and get information efficiently.
