What smry does in ChatGPT
The smry plugin gives ChatGPT clean text from public web articles and YouTube videos. Instead of guessing what a page says, ChatGPT reads the actual text through smry and works from that, so summaries and answers stay tied to the source you shared.
With that text in hand you can ask for the main points, put two or more articles side by side to see where they agree or differ, ask specific questions about the content, or pull a few short quotes word for word. It all happens in the chat, without switching tabs.
smry only reads content that is publicly available. The listing is clear that it does not get around hard paywalls or private access controls, so an article locked behind a subscription will not open through it. Short quotes are what it is meant to pull, not full copies.

- Writers checking quotes
