The tool, available at briff.site, costs about 1 cent per summary, and the creator is considering usage limits of 3 daily summaries per user, capping at 100 per month, to manage token costs.", "body_md": "I read HN everyday and some posts are way to long for my short attention span, so I've been wondering about summarizing long articles using AI and as I use Brave it comes with an AI sidebar tool that has a Summarize option, which is cool but... it doesn't work in Venezuela\n\nSo I built this little tool and thought I'd share with you all. It's just a summarizer, enter a URL and AI (DeepSeek) writes an executive summary in less than 100 lines plus some key bullet points. Enough to get an understanding of the topic covered so I can decide to read the whole article or not\n\nI hope you all enjoy it and please don't abuse it as it cost tokens (1 cent per summary). I may think on adding ads in the future but I hate ads, so token consumption will decide. Perhaps limiting it to 3 daily summaries per user capping at 100 per month? Time will tell\n\nFeedback is highly appreciated\n\nhttps:/briff.site\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49626806](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49626806)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-briff-site-summarizer", "canonical_source": "https://briff.site", "published_at": "2026-09-09 14:04:32+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-09 14:15:05.562619+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Briff", "DeepSeek", "Brave"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-briff-site-summarizer", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-briff-site-summarizer.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-briff-site-summarizer.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-briff-site-summarizer.jsonld"}}
