Summarie
This project began as a “vibe coding” experiment with a clear purpose: to explore whether AI could help me develop a web application from scratch. I chose to tackle a problem that had been bothering me for years – the complexity of privacy policies and terms of service.
How many people actually read these documents? They’re typically filled with legal jargon that makes them nearly incomprehensible to the average user.
AI-Powered Summarization
The core challenge was leveraging AI to distill lengthy privacy statements into digestible summaries, highlighting the key information users actually need to know. To keep costs manageable without running expensive servers for large language models, I integrated with Segmind’s API to handle the AI processing.
Smart Content Filtering
Another technical hurdle was minimizing token usage by filtering out unnecessary webpage content before sending it to the AI for summarization. I discovered Jina’s service, which provides LLM-formatted page content from URLs, allowing me to deliver clean, relevant text to the summarization engine.
Seamless User Experience
I knew the interface had to be as smooth as possible – copy-pasting content wouldn’t cut it. Working with AI assistance, I developed a Chrome extension that enables one-click summarization directly from any webpage. After some refinement, we created an elegant solution that automatically detects relevant links and adds summarize buttons where needed.
