In plain words

DocDecoder is a browser extension that automatically summarizes legal policies from websites, making terms of service and other legal documents easier to understand. Using GPT-4o, it generates concise summaries in real time as users browse. The tool is designed for anyone who wants to quickly grasp the key points of lengthy legal agreements without reading through the full text. It works as a Chrome extension for improved productivity when navigating online.

DocDecoder gives you clear, concise summaries of any website's legal policies. Generated in real time by GPT-4o.

DocDecoder gives you clear, consise summaries of any website

No-one reads Terms & Conditions or Privacy Policies . The DocDecoder browser extension uses GPT-4 to generate clear, concise summaries of any website's legal policies for you to skim over before you accept them. GPT-4 searches through all the legalese to extract all the terms that will actually affect you, the user. Each term is displayed via intuitive colour coding, highlighting the positive, negative, and neutral effects. Enter the URL of any legal policy and DocDecoder will tell you how it affects you . Each free user can generate 2 new summaries per month, and view unlimited existing ones. Ask our AI assistant any questions you have about a policy, and get instant answers.

    Document Q&A with GPT: web, .pdf, .docx, etc.2023 · klavier.ai · ▲86

    Hello fellow hackers, we made a site that gets GPT to answer your question using the info on a webpage you specify or document you upload (e.g., a large textbook .pdf file). Background: When ChatGPT came out, I had the idea of having it pull answers from my stereo receiver's annoyingly dense 32 page manual. My weekend project prototype proceeded to surprise with great answers—just like what we've all experienced by now. My co-founder thought we should productize it, and make it easy to use online. So here we are with a very early beta! (Try it on a HN thread...)

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
