Summate
What Summate is
Summate creates scheduled AI digests from content you follow and delivers them by email, with the same digests available on the web. It collects newsletters, YouTube subscriptions, and RSS feeds, and supports daily, weekly, or monthly schedules. Custom instructions can apply to an individual block, a digest, or the whole account. Digests contain TLDR summaries and clickable key takeaways. The service names YouTube and Substack as connected platforms, using read-only access tokens to fetch subscriptions. Summate is available on the web and through a Chrome extension advertised for summarizing articles and YouTube videos, although extension support is temporarily paused. Its listed plan includes unlimited digests, 2,000 AI credits monthly, scheduled digests, a personal newsletter email, YouTube summaries, and digest templates. Pricing starts at $10/user/mo (annual), with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Content sent to OpenAI and Google is not used to train their models.
