It’s coming along nicely, I hope I’ll be able to release it in the next few days.

How It Works:

I am a bot that generates summaries of Lemmy comments and posts.

  • Just mention me in a comment or post, and I will generate a summary for you.
  • If mentioned in a comment, I will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, I will summarize the post itself.
  • If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, I will summarize the content at that link.
  • If there is no link, I will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.

Extra Info in Comments:

Prompt Injection:

Of course it’s really easy (but mostly harmless) to break it using prompt injection:

It will only be available in communities that explicitly allow it. I hope it will be useful, I’m generally very satisfied with the quality of the summaries.

    This is an excellent idea, and I’m not sure why people downvoted you. The bot library I used doesn’t support requesting the user profile, but I’m sure it can be fetched directly from the API. I will look into implementing it!

      Thanks, it’s a good thing the creator isn’t as uptight as the comments.

      What library did you use?

        I implemented it. The feature will be available right from the start. The bot will reply this if the user has disabled it:

        🔒 The author of this post or comment has the #nobot hashtag in their profile. Out of respect for their privacy settings, I am unable to summarize their posts or comments.
