Kagi Summarize vs SMMRY

Kagi Summarize creates summaries of web pages, videos and podcasts when a transcript is available. It accepts URLs for web pages, PDFs, PPTX files, MP3s and videos. Output choices include headlines, brief summaries, digests, medium or long summaries, bullet points and ELI5; users can also translate a summary with Kagi Translate. Kagi lists Cecil as consumer-grade, Agnes as consumer-grade and Muriel as enterprise-grade; Agnes and Muriel are available through the browser extension or API. Summarize is accessible in Kagi search results, through the!sum Bang, in Orion on Apple devices, and in Chrome and Firefox extensions. The API supports text pages, PDFs, PPTX and DOCX files, MP3/WAV audio, experimental YouTube URLs, and scanned PDFs or images using OCR. API requests are limited to 1 MB and require a Kagi account and API credits. A trial includes 100 searches and 100 AI interactions with standard models. Starter costs $5 per month plus tax; there is no free plan.
