Announcement
The bot I announced in this thread is now ready for a limited beta release.
You can see an example summary it wrote here.
How to Use AutoTLDR
- Just mention it (“@” + “AutoTLDR”) in a comment or post, and it will generate a summary for you.
- If mentioned in a comment, it will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, it will summarize the post itself.
- If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, it will summarize the content at that link.
- If there is no link, it will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.
- 🔒 If you include the #nobot hashtag in your profile, it will not summarize anything posted by you.
Beta limitations
- The bot only works in the [email protected] community.
- It is limited to 100 summaries per day.
How to try it
- If you want to test the bot, write a long comment, or include a link in a comment in this thread, and then, in a reply comment, mention the bot.
- Feel free to test it and try to break it in this thread. Please report any weird behavior you encounter in a PM to me (NOT the bot).
- You can also use it for its designated purpose anywhere in the AUAI community.
Interesting, for some reason (maybe because the raw URL returns plain text instead of HTML), the unfluff library I use for extracting the text content gets confused and returns an empty string. I’ll try to handle this case in a smarter way in the bot, thanks for reporting it!
