Firefox provides AI page summaries if you shake your iPhone

<p>AI summaries seem to be everywhere, with the latest entry into the mix coming courtesy of Mozilla. The company has announced that its web browser, <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/shake-to-summarize/">Firefox, is rolling out page summaries[/url] on mobile devices. Notably, this feature is only available for English-language iOS users in the US right now.</p>
<p>Unlike other major <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/google-actually-ai-in-search-is-driving-more-queries-and-higher-quality-clicks-204946965.html">summary tools from Google[/url] and the like, Firefox's page summaries are available when you shake your device. If you feel a bit weird doing that then you can, instead, tap the thunderbolt icon on the right side of the address bar. There's also the option to click the three-dot menu icon and then tap summarize page.&nbsp;</p>

Otherwise, Mozilla's cloud-based AI should securely receive the page text and then create a summary.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The latest summary feature follows <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/the-war-on-links-escalates-with-firefoxs-experimental-ai-previews-123059735.html">Firefox's Link Previews[/url], launched in May. The experimental feature used AI to preview a link's content, including a list of key points.&nbsp;</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/firefox-provides-ai-page-summaries-if-you-shake-your-iphone-145837557.html?src=rss
