Semplu

Semplu is a local-first CLI for asking, enhancing, extracting, and summarizing content from web pages, files, and media.

This package is the npm-distributed Semplu CLI. It can run on its own, and it can also pair with the Semplu browser extension through the local daemon.

Semplu CLI started as a fork of Peter Steinberger's original summarize CLI: steipete/summarize.

What Semplu Does

• Ask questions about a URL, document, or extracted context
• Enhance text with reusable rewrite and transformation flows
• Extract clean content from websites, files, podcasts, and videos
• Summarize long content in different lengths and output formats
• Pair the local CLI/daemon with the Semplu browser extension
