Wiseone

If online reading is one of your pastimes, it wouldn't do any harm to try some new stuff every now and then. If you're reading with the goal of attaining knowledge over a certain subject, it's worth knowing that AI-powered extensions can help make that work slightly more bearable by summarizing and cross-checking it. Of course, if you're among those who genuinely enjoy that, such a tool should still manage to be suitable for you.

Wiseone is a Chrome extension that is able to summarize text at a moment's notice, and also provide pertinent sources for cross-checking, so that you can learn all that you can about a given subject.

If your goal is to digest some online articles better, then such an extension can help you be more efficient. It uses AI algorithms to summarize text and provide key takeaways, and it does so in a rather accurate manner. If all you're looking to do is get the gist of a particular article, clicking on the extension's icon will provide a few things of note, as well as a condensed version of the text.

While it's best that you read the respective articles thoroughly yourself, pairing that with the key takeaways of the extension can be a good idea. As such, if you're having trouble understanding what the article is about, looking through the extension-provided summary might help illuminate you.

Another interesting feature of the tool comes in the form of a cross-checking function. Upon visiting an online article's page, the add-on will automatically highlight some passages it can cross-check. Hovering over those passages will reveal additional sources. These additions can be put to good effect to further your understanding of the respective topic.

We found that the extension is usually pertinent with its cross-checking suggestions and summaries, but you should still be as critical as ever in your evaluations. As it stands, Wiseone is a solid Chrome extension which can help many users read more efficiently, as well as delve into certain topics more thoroughly.
