Summarize long Reddit threads with one click

Some long reddit threads are a gold mine. But you need to dig deep in hundreds or thousands of comments to form the conclusion. To simplify that I automated it all in form of chrome extension with customization to fit your own needs. With one click it: - fetches metadata (with all comments) - cleans it - sends it to selected AI - gold, you are looking for Supported pages: - Threads - Subreddits - Search results

@martin_machava nice product, niche but useful

@vouchy Hi Vouchy, funny you ask, I know the exact moment when the threshold was reached. It was when my friend sent me this link to "Your Top 2 Moonshot Stocks for the Next 3–5 Years?" with just over 1k comments.
At that point I started building this extension. And it works very well for huge reddit threads like this one. It might have been impossible to process it all on my own.
Wow, this is amazing! Love that it summarizes entire subreddits. Does the AI prioritize heavily upvoted comments when forming the summary?

@jaydev13 I'm just glad it's useful for you and many others. Yes, I clear metadata from "trash" and keep only relevant fields for analysis including upvotes, nested comments etc.
If you got any tips for improvement, I'll be happy to implement them.

@german_merlo1 I added Toolbar with quick action buttons to eliminate clicks to get the result. Extension Popup is still there with more functionality but most basic functions are accessible in Toolbar to save time. And it's looking pretty good, I have to say :D
Congrats on the launch @martin_machava. While the initial 500K usage limit for FREE seems nice. But analyzing a short Reddit thread took around 2k credits. Can you please shed some light on how the credits work in your platform?
Reddit Summarizer
@barian_badhon sure. So basically credit = token. Very long posts can consume up to 30k. I did some calculations and 500k should last whole month for average user until the refresh. To ensure I won't go bankrupt, free users have access to "cheap" but efficient models (Gemini 3 Flash, Grok 4.1 fast, Kimi K2). Gemini Nano (chrome's built-in AI) is always free, doesn't consume any tokens, but not that good as claude based models.
@martin_machava That's a good thinking process. I wish the best for the product!
Nice idea — this solves a very real pain point. Reddit threads often hide great insights, but digging through hundreds of comments is exhausting. One-click summarization with customization sounds super useful, especially for research and decision-making.
Just curious, how do you decide what comments matter most — upvotes, recency, or something else? Are there plans for an API so developers can integrate this into their own workflows?
Reddit Summarizer
@liup3424 Yes, upvotes, replies to the comment, counterarguments. I didn't need to invent special algorithm for it because it always exists - AI. AI can "see" all comments and relations between them and between statements all at once.
No API plans so far, I don't know what exactly could I offer to them, but if there are requests for such implementation, I'm open to it.

@samtheanalyst I did some research when I needed tool like Reddit Summarizer but no one was good enough. ThreadReader is for tweeter, not reddit. I'm pretty confident in my extension.
Users mostly do use it to summarize very long threads. And I do the same in most cases :)
