What to know before choosing
Good fit
Readers who want a quick summary prompt for any article in their own AI assistant
Limits and trade-offs
The tool only builds the prompt and hands off; the chosen AI assistant may require sign-in and may not read the URL, in which case the copyable prompt is the fallback. No pricing was published on the homepage.

A closer look at SkimAI
SkimAI (skim.page) is a URL-prefix utility for quick article summaries: prepend skim.page/ to any article URL and the tab redirects to a chosen AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or Grok — with a ready prompt asking for a 1–2 sentence TL;DR, 3 key takeaways and why it matters in one sentence. Summary styles include default, ELI5, Research and Investor, and shortcuts can combine style and assistant in the URL. It does not scrape the article, create accounts or store prompts, and it does not bypass paywalls.
Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.
When to choose SkimAI
- Readers who want a TL;DR, key takeaways and why-it-matters for any article
- Users of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or Grok who want a one-step handoff
- People who want summary styles like ELI5, Research or Investor
When to choose something else
- Readers who want the summary generated on the page itself without an AI assistant
- Users who need paywalled articles unlocked, which skim.page explicitly does not do
A practical starting workflow
- Find any news article, blog post or long-read
- Prepend skim.page/ to the article URL, optionally with a style and assistant shortcut
- Let the tab redirect to the chosen AI assistant with a ready prompt
- Read the TL;DR, key takeaways and why-it-matters from the assistant
- If the redirect fails, copy the prompt from skim.page instead
Check before committing

Common questions
What is SkimAI (skim.page)?
A URL-prefix utility: add skim.page/ before any article URL and it redirects to a chosen AI assistant with a ready summary prompt.
Does skim.page summarize the article itself?
No. It generates a prompt and opens the selected assistant; that assistant handles any summarization, subject to its own access and login.
Does skim.page bypass paywalls?
No. It does not unlock paid content, fetch article text, or work around publisher access rules.
