← Use cases

One-click page summarizer

Turn any article into three bullets.

For: Builders of reading / research extensions

A toolbar button that summarizes the current page. Because the extension reads the DOM and calls the provider directly, the article text never touches a third-party server you run.

The problem

Summarizers re-summarize the same article every time the user clicks. Each click is a full model call unless you cache by page — and doing that per-extension is the same boilerplate every time.

How Anouk handles it

  • ▸The content script grabs document.body.innerText and hands it to AIService.call().
  • ▸The cache key includes the page URL, so re-clicking the same article returns the cached summary.
  • ▸Switching to a local Ollama model keeps the whole flow on-device for privacy-sensitive users.

src/content.js

import { AIService } from 'anouk';

const summary = await AIService.call(
  'Summarize this page in 3 bullets',
  document.body.innerText,
  `summary_${location.href}`
);
showPanel(summary);
