Summarizer
Summarizes the unread messages in a chat when you open it
About this app
A sidebar widget that reads the messages you have not caught up on and posts a short AI-generated summary, so you can rejoin a busy room without scrolling back through everything.
When opened, it looks at the room timeline up to your read marker
(m.fully_read), collects the unread m.room.message events, resolves the
senders from m.room.member, and asks an LLM to condense them. The summary is
shown inside the widget — nothing is written back to the room.
Built by Beeper as a demo for their widget SDK. It runs against Beeper's fork
of the Matrix Widget API (@beeper/matrix-widget-api) and needs a companion
backend that holds an Anthropic API key: the widget's own Next.js API route
(/api/completion) proxies the request to the Claude API so the key never
reaches the browser. Because of that server route — and because the repo
carries no license — it is listed here only, pointing at Beeper's own
deployment, and is not built or hosted by Marcade.
