## Description

Summarize is a command line tool and multimodal content extractor designed to generate concise summaries from web pages, documents, and media files. It functions as an orchestrator that connects developer tools to various language model providers to process and condense information.

The system provides specialized capabilities for audio and video processing, including transcription with speaker identification and the extraction of timestamped visual markers from video slides. It also includes a translation utility to convert generated summaries and extracted text into different target languages.

The project employs a provider-agnostic interface to standardize requests across local and cloud services. It manages content through a pipeline that converts URLs and multimedia files into a unified markdown representation for analysis.
