LinkedGist is a browser extension that enriches LinkedIn posts by summarizing their core ideas, explaining complex terms, and providing contextual insights — all powered by an LLM (OpenAI API Compatibility).
When a user clicks on any LinkedIn post, a button appears allowing them to generate a smart summary. Behind the scenes, the content is sent to a language model that returns:
- A concise and contextualized summary
- Clear explanations of technical terms (if any)
- Relevant background information or connections to related topics
- Suggestions for further exploration
All responses are returned in the selected language.
