AI Integration Prompt
Use this prompt with your AI coding assistant (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, v0, etc.) to integrate the widget into your website:
You are given a task to integrate the "Summarize With AI" widget into an existing website.
This widget allows users to summarize web pages using AI services like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grok.
## Widget Features
- Zero dependencies - pure vanilla JavaScript
- 5 AI services: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok
- 3 themes: light, dark, minimal
- Compact mode (icons only)
- URL mode (sends page URL) or Content mode (sends page text)
- Selection-first: can summarize highlighted text
## Installation Options
### Option 1: CDN (Recommended for quick integration)
Add this to your HTML:
<div id="summarize-widget"></div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/summarize-with-ai/dist/summarize-widget.iife.js"></script>
<script>
SummarizeWidget.init({
target: '#summarize-widget',
theme: 'light', // 'light' | 'dark' | 'minimal'
mode: 'url', // 'url' | 'content'
services: ['chatgpt', 'claude', 'perplexity', 'gemini', 'grok']
});
</script>
### Option 2: Web Component (Simplest)
<script src="https://unpkg.com/summarize-with-ai/dist/summarize-widget.iife.js"></script>
<summarize-with-ai
theme="dark"
mode="url"
services="chatgpt,claude,perplexity"
></summarize-with-ai>
### Option 3: npm package
npm install summarize-with-ai
Then in your JavaScript/TypeScript:
import { SummarizeWidget } from 'summarize-with-ai';
SummarizeWidget.init({
target: '#widget',
theme: 'minimal'
});

## CSS Customization
Override these CSS variables to match your site's design:
.summarize-widget {
--sw-bg: #ffffff;
--sw-border: #e5e7eb;
--sw-border-radius: 12px;
--sw-padding: 1rem;
--sw-font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;
--sw-font-size: 14px;
--sw-text-color: #374151;
--sw-button-bg: #f9fafb;
--sw-button-hover: #f3f4f6;
--sw-button-border: #e5e7eb;
--sw-button-radius: 8px;
}
## Implementation Guidelines
1. Determine the best location for the widget:
- Blog posts: After the article content or in a sidebar
- Landing pages: In a prominent section
- Documentation: In the footer or floating sidebar
2. Choose the appropriate theme:
- Use 'light' for light-colored websites
- Use 'dark' for dark-themed websites
- Use 'minimal' for seamless integration without borders
3. Select the right mode:
- Use 'url' mode for public pages that AI can access
- Use 'content' mode for protected/private content
4. Consider compact mode for tight spaces like sidebars or mobile views
5. Add analytics tracking if needed:
SummarizeWidget.init({
target: '#widget',
onClickService: (serviceId, context) => {
analytics.track('summarize_click', {
service: serviceId,
mode: context.mode,
usedSelection: context.usedSelection
});
}
});
## Questions to Consider
- What theme matches your site's design?
- Where should the widget be placed for best user experience?
- Which AI services are most relevant for your audience?
- Do you need analytics tracking for usage?
- Should compact mode be used for mobile responsiveness?
## Steps to Integrate
1. Choose installation method (CDN, Web Component, or npm)
2. Add the HTML container element to your page
3. Initialize the widget with your preferred options
4. Customize CSS variables if needed to match your design
5. Test on different screen sizes and themes
6. Add analytics callback if tracking is requiredInspiration
