BFW - Meet Emily AI: Turn Long Content into Action (No Prompts Needed) - Issue 269


Dear Reader,

Today’s pick is Meet Emily AI—a Chrome extension and web app that helps you turn long content into clear next steps without any “prompt pack.” Just go to https://meetemily.ai and sign up. That’s it.

What it does

  • Summarizes webpages, research papers, and PDFs so you can extract key points in minutes.
  • Summarizes YouTube videos to speed up research and decision-making.
  • Keeps work moving with session persistence while you browse.

Note on videos
Meet Emily can handle videos; for longer videos you may need the Pro plan—check the current limits when you sign up.

Try it in 3 quick steps

  1. Sign up at https://meetemily.ai.

  2. Paste a link or upload a PDF; for long videos, consider Pro.

  3. Ask for what you need (e.g., “Give me a concise summary with risks, quick wins, and next actions for a founder”).

Why I like it

It reduces reading/watching time and helps me move from information → action faster, especially on dense reports and how-to videos.

Stay tuned for more Brain Food next Wednesday!
