Summarize

Fast CLI to summarize URLs, local files, and YouTube links.

When to use

• "summarize this URL/article"
• "what's this link about?"
• "transcribe this YouTube/video" (best-effort)

Quick start

summarize "https://example.com" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "/path/to/file.pdf" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube auto

Notes

• Use --json for machine-readable output.
• Use --extract-only for transcripts (URLs only).
• Configure provider keys via env (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY).
