Show HN: A Chrome extension that summarises MakeMyTrip hotel reviews
chrome.google.com
A lot of things we buy online have an element of subjectivity. Just booking a hotel with the highest rating is often not the right choice. So we typically scroll through many of the recent customer reviews to get a better sense of the hotel listing.
LLMs are very well capable of doing this for us! Typically we go to an LLM like ChatGPT, and we ask our question, but I think that more and more these assistants will come to us by being integrated into the things we use everyday.
Till that day comes, we can augment existing websites using extensions. I've built a Chrome extension that will summarise any MakeMyTrip hotel listing for you and give you a quick pros/cons subjective review of the hotel. Try it out!
I would like to hear from you - does this seem useful? Could we tweak this in a way to really expedite our decision making process for hotel bookings?
Technical Sidenote Context window matters a lot when trying to summarise text in any LLMs. Till now GPT-3 supported only 4K tokens, but since yesterday it now supports 16K tokens, which means I can now summarise a larger number of reviews, this is an immediate improvement that I'll make in the next few days.
