Sumz
An open-source article summarizer powered by OpenAI GPT-4 that condenses lengthy articles into clear, concise overviews. Features include URL input, history tracking, and intelligent content analysis.
Project Overview
Understanding the problem, approach, and solution
Sumz addresses information overload by using AI to create concise, accurate summaries of lengthy articles. It helps users quickly understand key points without reading entire articles.
In today's information-rich environment, people struggle to keep up with the volume of articles and content. Reading everything thoroughly is time-consuming and often unnecessary.
I built an AI-powered summarization tool using OpenAI's GPT-4 that can process any article URL and generate intelligent summaries while maintaining key insights and context.
