Glasp

Glasp combines highlighting with AI-assisted review. Users can capture passages and notes from material they read, then generate a summary that takes those selected passages into account. This makes the summary more connected to the user's reading interests than a generic overview produced without knowing which sections mattered.

Features and what they are useful for

• Highlight supported webpages, PDFs, or video transcripts and add notes.
• Generate AI summaries that use saved highlights as context.
• Keep the summary with its source and export material to supported note workflows.
• Revisit saved reading through the Reader and knowledge-oriented tools, including questions about collected material.

Who it suits

Glasp suits researchers, students, writers, and frequent online readers. It is especially useful when useful passages are more important than saving an entire page without annotation. Its sharing and community features may also suit people who want to learn from others' reading, provided the visibility of their own material matches their preferences.

A practical workflow

For a research topic, highlight the main claim, supporting evidence, and a passage expressing uncertainty in an article. Add a note explaining why the source matters to your question, then request a summary. Compare the summary with the highlighted material and preserve the author's qualification. Export the checked notes into your writing workspace with the source URL so a later draft can refer back to the actual evidence.

Limitations and things to check

A summary influenced by highlights can reflect your selected emphasis more than the balance of the entire source. That is useful for personal review, but it can also hide arguments you did not highlight. Review source coverage before using a summary in research or publication. Also check visibility, account settings, and destination permissions before saving confidential material into a workflow that includes social sharing.

Pricing and access

Glasp offers free starting access and additional paid capacity or features. Its AI summary page describes a free quota and higher limits through pricing options. Review current model choices, supported sources, export integrations, and privacy controls for the account you plan to use rather than assuming every summary and reading feature is unlimited.

Frequently asked questions

Why do highlights affect the summary?

Glasp supplies them as context so the result can focus on what you selected while reading.

Does an AI summary replace citation checking?

No. Keep the source and verify the original passage before quoting or relying on a claim.
