The Summly blog mentions about a demo to "let people enter a web site’s URL and receive a summary of the content."

Anyway to still use that? The idea sounds very exciting and an online bookmarklet can super-useful to TL;DR anything.

That would be really awesome. Overall I like this landing page, but my main question is "how good is the summary?" and "Can I trust the summary generated?"

Maybe non-technical people are just like, "Yeah! Awesome!" and that is all that matters. My thoughts are "How good is it? This is a hard problem and there is probably a lot of money in it. Why haven't other companies developed this?"

The app itself and the site look nice.

Very interesting. I'm on Android, so I can't actually try out the app, but I'd be interested to see what kind of compression ratio they get, how understandable it is, and if they hit all the major points. I'm also curious if they can create an intelligent summary of a cluster of related articles (say, the explosion of news recently about Disney buying out Lucasfilm), which seems like a problem that would be almost as hard as "general AI".

A friend of mine is doing a research about this. Clustering articles through the use of neural networks. But of course, it can only cluster articles that is in their collection or corpus.
