Hi Product Hunt, I'm Phil, the maker of AI Summary Helper. I launched it here before. Since then I rebuilt a lot of it, so I'm back with what changed. The idea is simple: a summary is only useful if you can check it. So follow-up answers cite the passage they come from, and research mode recognizes a paper by its DOI and lines up several sources instead of giving you one blended answer. What's new: - Research mode (DOI recognition, topic research across sources) - YouTube videos and PDFs - Instant Read (it reads the summary to you) - Ghost highlights on the page - A mood filter, if you want only the good news - Split view It is free and open source. You bring your own API key, or run a local model with Ollama. Your library stays on your device. I'd love to hear what you'd want next, and which language you'd like polished. I'm here all day.
