SourceFrameUSE CASE
Summarize Multiple Sources into a Cited Brief
When your research is spread across twenty open tabs, articles, and docs, a single summary that loses the sources is not enough. SourceFrame condenses the whole set into a Summary Brief — with takeaways, tensions, and open questions, each tied to the source it came from.
For when you have too many tabs
One cited Summary Brief instead of twenty half-read tabs.
Reading a stack of sources is easy to start and hard to finish. Details blur together, you lose track of which source said what, and the contradictions never get reconciled. A Summary Brief pulls the set into one place while keeping every point traceable.
What a Summary Brief pulls out
Key takeaways
The points that matter across the whole source set, each cited to its source.
Tensions
Where sources disagree or pull in different directions — kept visible, not averaged away.
Open questions
What the sources leave unanswered, so you know where the research is still thin.
Bring the sources however they arrive
Capture your open tabs with the browser extension and summarize them as a set.
Start from a prompt and let SourceFrame discover and check the sources for you.
Add a long ChatGPT or Claude conversation as one more source in the mix.
Mix all three — the Summary Brief works from the combined source set, not just one input.
A practical example
You have a dozen tabs open on a fast-moving topic — a few explainer articles, two vendor blog posts, a standards doc, and a Hacker News thread. Individually they half-agree; together they are a mess.
SourceFrame turns them into a Summary Brief that states the consensus takeaways, flags where the vendor posts diverge from the standards doc, and lists the questions none of the sources settle — so you can decide what to read next instead of re-reading everything.
