Future improvements

At present, the browser extension is capable of generating TLDR summaries of individual emails, which can save you time and help you stay on top of your inbox. However, we recognize that many email conversations involve multiple messages and threads, and that summarizing these conversations can be just as important. Therefore, one of our top priorities for future development is to enable the extension to summarize entire email threads.
