Many users have asked for the ability to summarize only a section of the content they are viewing, rather than the whole page.
Here's a 3 minute video of how this could work -- we'd love to get your feedback -- you can comment below this post or email feedback@storytell.ai :
Part II:
We have noted your feedback and have made some developments based on it.
To give you an idea of what we have been working on, we have included some videos from our rapid prototyping session below where we went over some of the new functions. Let us know what you think!
And if you'd like to become an official beta tester, here's how to sign up.
Super interesting, and I like that you're breaking away from the right margin. Curious to see how much traction this feature gets since I didn't originate the request. While I can see myself primarily using the "summarize" feature within this bubble, I appreciate how you're casting a wide net by making those four functions available. Can we track usage of the four functions specifically within the highlighted text context, separately from what goes on within the right margin? Also, I'm unsure how the bubble pops - is it by simply highlighting the text?
By the way, on the topic of "highlighting", I tend to highlight the summary output more than the original text, and often copy and paste AI outputs into Notion or Evernote.
Great work!
ps: <3 your puppy
Yes please! Does it also exist for the whole article already?
@flav , @Tim Suchanek , @Pierre Tapia , @shelleyjohnson / @Shelley Johnson -- @ryanfritsch and I are back with a related update to highlighting content! It would be the highlight of our day to get your feedback on this (see what i did there?)
NOTE: This is about our web app at http://Storytell.ai -- the original KB post was about highlight text to use on our Chrome Extension, so this is related but different to your original feedback. Thought you might have some opinions on it!
Great Idea yes drop downs are very consistent with other programs people use
I really like this feature idea, but I would hope that for most web pages, StoryTell would be able to detect the heart of the content (e.g., article content) vs. page filler (e.g., recommended articles, comments, author biography). It's an additional step for me to select a piece of the content, and Id' be worried about how well StoryTell could handle non-contiguous content (content that breaks apart because of images, tables, ads, etc.).
However, I do see the value in this for cases where the content is very long and I just needed to summarize a blurb (I can imagine this for a Wikipedia article, for example). For those cases, I like the implementation that @ryanfritsch has proposed.
Initial takeaways:
I hope this doesn't try to overtake Chrome's right-click menu, my expectation is that the in-context menu would be integrated into Chrome's right-click menu or be invoked by some other way?
The two menu options I'd most be interested in would be: summarize and run a prompt, with the ability to quickly run my favorite summarization prompt (either by having a drop-down in the menu or by surfacing the most recently used prompt)
