Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has been the buzzword in the tech industry for a while now. Every big smartphone launch event, every year, has not failed to mention AI. However, ChatGPT has recently brought some excitement about AI among the public. AI, though, is a tool, like search engines. One has to know how to use it. If you are interested, there are many AI extensions for Chrome that you can integrate into your work flow.
AI Chrome extensions can help you in a multitude of ways, no matter what you use your browser for. However, if you use Edge, Opera, or any other browser, these extensions should work still. That’s because other than Firefox, every other major browser is based on the same Chromium base that Chrome is built-on. So, here they are.
1. Fireflies
Fireflies.AI is a voice assistant that can transcribe your Google Meet meetings, help you take notes, summarize emails and documents. It can even summarize YouTube videos for you, as well as news articles and more. You can also upload a recorded meeting and then skim through the transcripts to listen to the audio.
Fireflies.AI can extract crucial information from various types of content such as your meetings, YouTube videos, emails, and other sources. That’s thanks to its natural language processing capabilities. You only get 3 credits for free though and once you’ve used them, you will have to pay.

7. YouTube & Article Summary powered by ChatGPT
How often do you get sent a YouTube video by a friend that you don’t want to sit through? But because that friend is expecting a response, and you send them YouTube videos too, you have to watch it. Well, not anymore. At least, not when it comes to informational videos.
There are also podcast videos on YouTube and others that are several minutes if not hours long. With this AI Chrome extension from Glasp, you can simply get a summary of the video without having to watch. Reading is much faster, and can be done at your own pace, unlike a video.
