Try Orbit by Mozilla: a new AI productivity tool

[sarath]

Hi folks,

We’ve got something exciting to share first with our community! Introducing our beta version of Orbit by Mozilla, now available as a Firefox add-on. This is a new AI tool to help summarize emails, docs, articles, and even video transcripts.

Designed to boost productivity, Orbit provides concise summaries right in your browser. Whether you’re wading through long emails, dense documents, or informative videos, Orbit helps you get to the heart of the content quickly.

Features include:

• Quick Summarization: Get summaries of what you’re reading or watching across sites like Gmail, Google Docs, YouTube, and more.
• User-Friendly: It’s simple to use – just add it to your browser and you’re good to go.
• Interactive Q&A: Ask questions about page content and quickly find specific information.
• Customizable Summaries: Choose your preferred summary length and format.
• No AI Training: Unlike other services, Orbit’s AI does not train on your data, keeping your information private.

We invite you to check it out and download Orbit. We’d love to hear your feedback once you try out Orbit, and we’re open to all your ideas and thoughts.

Dear Mozilla Team,

I appreciate using Orbit for summarization, but it would be incredibly useful if it could provide summaries or responses in the language of the webpage or offer translations. This feature would greatly enhance its usability for non-English speakers.

I think this AI thing is a waste of time. A waste of dev time, a waste of digital space, a waste of electricity, a waste of your time and a waste of our time. It's already a sinking ship, and I don't respect any work that is created by it, nor anyone who uses it. This Art AI is disrespectful to real artists who took time to learn their skills, and the summery AI is disrespectful to anyone searching for an actual facts. It's also disrespectful to the children, who should be learning how to learn from the internet, not spoodfed answers that are usually very wrong. I dont usually bring up The Children, but this misinformation thing is getting out of hand.

It is my firm belief that the entire AI thing should be scrapped, but as long as you make it so I never have to look at or acknowledge it again, I'll settle for that.
