On-device Summarization with Gemini Nano
This sample demonstrates how to use Chrome's built-in Summarizer API to generate AI-powered summaries of web pages directly on the user's device. The summarization runs entirely locally using Gemini Nano, ensuring privacy and fast performance without requiring an internet connection or API keys.
To learn more about the Summarizer API, head over to the Summarizer API guide on developer.chrome.com.
Overview
This extension adds a side panel that automatically displays AI-generated summaries of any web page you visit. It uses Mozilla's Readability library to extract the main content from web pages (stripping away navigation, ads, and other clutter), then passes that content to Chrome's built-in Summarizer API.
