   Yes. I have a search. however

   1. Not very useful
   2. Not meeting the requirements.

   • ask a developer of an existing extension to expand its features so it fits your requirements (developer are every friendly often and like it very much to get feedback)
   • find someone else who can develop that extension for you

   I've implemented this feature request! 🎉

   Pull Request: #471

   What I Built

   A new AI Summarizer extension that automatically generates AI summaries for RSS articles and displays them at the top of each article - exactly as requested.

   Key Features

   • ✅ OpenAI-compatible API support (OpenAI, Ollama, LocalAI, etc.)
   • ✅ Summaries displayed at the top of articles
   • ✅ Customizable prompts with placeholders
   • ✅ Multiple display styles (blockquote, info box, simple)
   • ✅ Smart caching (one API call per article)
   • ✅ Unread-only mode to save API costs
   • ✅ Search filters to control which articles get summarized
   • ✅ Works with local LLMs (Ollama) for privacy

   How It Works

   1. When you view an article, the extension checks if it should be summarized
   2. If no cached summary exists, it calls your configured LLM API
   3. The summary is prepended to the article content in your chosen style
   4. Future views use the cached summary (no additional API calls)

   Example with Ollama (Local & Free)

   # Install Ollama
   curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
   
   # Pull a model
   ollama pull llama3
   
   # Configure the extension
   API URL: http://localhost:11434/v1
   Model: llama3
   API Key: (leave empty)

   The extension is ready to use and addresses all the requirements from this issue. Let me know if you have any questions!
