myGPTReader is a community-driven Slack bot designed to interact with AI models, primarily ChatGPT, for content summarization and conversational assistance. It targets users who need to quickly process information from various sources, including web pages, documents, and YouTube videos, and offers multilingual voice interaction for language practice.

It leverages AI models to parse and summarize content from URLs, uploaded documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown), and YouTube videos with subtitles. A key feature is its voice chat capability, enabling users to practice foreign languages with the bot, which acts as a personal tutor.
