The hardest part is dealing with GPT token limits. You can't summarize long form text, where it's most needed.
Not too hard, just "map reduce" it: Have GPT-3 summarize each section of the article, and then have it summarize the summaries.

Agreed, you can try sending it in chunks but then you lose context. Perhaps the ChatGPT based API will help if they expose the conversational memory as a feature. Maybe OP has figured out a method with the current API?
ChatGPT doesn't seem to have a much longer memory

Not promoting this. But, sounds like a great area for monetization.
Anyone can use without conversational memory, or with limited conversational memory.
Then, charge for larger conversational memory.

#18I want to see something like this applied to files saved locally. It would be much easier to find files based on what they're actually about rather the filename, metadata, or specific quotations.

I've tried it, it doesn't really work that well. There are other much more convoluted approaches that have promise (embedding searches is one)

#20Project idea: A HackerNews or reddit client that displays summaries before you click through.
