Let’s admit it: the internet might have all the information in the world, but it’s often covered by a lot of fluff. Whether it’s how-to articles, technical reviews, or research papers, you often need to read through large blocks of text before you get to the part you’re looking for. This takes away a lot of time and brainpower that can be invested somewhere more productive.
Why not let AI do the heavy lifting for you? OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and GPT 4 can parse thousands of words in seconds and create concise and to-the-point summaries for you. Since Bardeen is integrated with OpenAI, you can use Bardeen to summarize web pages, videos, emails, and meeting notes in your browser!
Summarize a webpage or website content with Bardeen
Although many people are excited by how AI can generate content, its summarization capabilities are equally impressive. There are many new tools for summarizing website content, like Frase, QuillBot, and TDLR This. But these are all individual websites and have various limitations.
What if you want the feature to summarize website content in your browser, quickly accessible with just a few clicks? For that, Bardeen is the most convenient option built for for Chrome. Let’s look at a few prebuilt automations for this.
Web pages
First, let’s discuss web pages. Using Bardeen, you can summarize any web page or website content, like articles, short stories, and even Wikipedia pages. Here are some automations you can do with Bardeen with just one click.
Whenever you come across a long web page, run our automation. It’ll create a summary of the page using OpenAI and save it to Google Docs. You can do the same for ClickUp, Notion, Coda, and Airtable.
Here’s an example of summarizing a webpage with ChatGPT and saving it in a Google Doc using Bardeen. You need to open the webpage first. Click on the Bardeen browser extension. Go to the playbook, “summarize the webpage and save it in Google Docs,” and click on it. If you are doing it for the first time, you might configure the Doc to save. Bardeen will give you the summary of the page within a minute—all with a few clicks.
Even better, you can also send the webpage summary to WhatsApp.
If you’re an SEO expert, you might want to identify the keywords used on a page. We have an automation that will do exactly that for you. In addition, it’ll also create a summary of the webpage and store the collected data in Coda.
Since Bardeen is integrated with over 100 apps, we offer prebuilt automations for multiple platforms. This automation will save keywords and a summary of the current webpage to Google Sheets.

How to Summarize YouTube Videos
Yes, you can also summarize videos with Bardeen! Although videos are generally easier to go through than articles (you can always watch at 2X speed), they can still take up valuable time. Here are some of the popular automations you can use Bardeen for summarizing videos.

You can use these automations to summarize a video, whether a podcast episode, tech tutorial, or news clip. Open the video in a tab and run this automation. It’ll use ChatGPT to generate a summary and save the results to Airtable. You can also save it to Google Sheets or send it as an email.

Summarize Emails Using AI
Long emails are often just as challenging to go through as a Wikipedia page. With Bardeen’s automations, you can summarize emails, create email drafts, and declutter your inbox.

Automate Meeting Tasks
Meetings are often essential to make action plans, develop relationships, and share ideas. Unfortunately, post-meeting notes can contain irrelevant information, making them time-consuming to refer to later. With these automations, you can leverage AI to streamline your workflow.
This automation will generate a summary, pick action items from your meeting notes, and add them to Asana. You can also save these tasks to ClickUp, Coda, and Pipedrive.
Instead of saving the meeting summary and action items to a project management platform, you can send them to a Slack channel or user. You can also send this data as a WhatsApp message.
We also have many useful non-AI meeting automations available for you. For example, you can copy Google Calendar meetings to Notion, add enriched meeting participant data to a Coda table, and more! Check this article for meeting automations to save time.
