Kagi Summarize vs Summify

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.

Summify turns PDFs, PowerPoint files, YouTube videos, and articles into structured insights, with options for flashcards, quizzes, and audio. Its iPhone app also accepts DOCX, TXT, MP3 or other audio, YouTube URLs, and web articles. After a summary, users can make Learn cards and quizzes; eligible plans add mind maps, audio lessons, or podcasts. The public beta has four free core lenses, including Study, while Contract and Exam Prep are paid-plan options. YouTube summaries depend on extracted transcripts, so a video needs available captions or a transcript. Summify extracts text on its servers and sends that text and prompts to configured third-party AI providers, including Groq and Google Gemini. Its privacy page says uploaded content is not sold, and the home page states that uploads use TLS 1.3 and files are processed in memory only. The service does not offer a marketed document library or long-term cloud storage product. Free allows 5 analyses/day. Scholar costs $4.99 a month and requires an.edu school email; Pro costs $7.99 a month. Subscriptions use Polar checkout and can be canceled anytime.
