Manual tests

Goal: sanity-check auto selection + presets end-to-end.

#Setup

  • OPENAI_API_KEY=... (optional)
  • ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY=... (optional)
  • GEMINI_API_KEY=... (optional)
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... (optional)
  • XAI_API_KEY=... (optional)
  • OPENROUTER_API_KEY=... (optional)
  • Z_AI_API_KEY=... (optional)

Tip: use --verbose to see model attempts + the chosen model.

#Auto (default)

  • Website summary (should pick a model, show it in spinner):
  • summarize --max-output-tokens 200 https://example.com
  • No-model-needed shortcut (should print extracted text; no footer “no model needed”):
  • summarize --max-output-tokens 99999 https://example.com
  • Missing-key skip (configure only one key; should skip other providers, still succeed):
  • Set only OPENAI_API_KEY, then run a website summary; should not try Gemini/Anthropic/XAI.
  • AssemblyAI transcript path:
  • Set only ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY, then run a podcast URL or --youtube yt-dlp flow; transcriptionProvider should report assemblyai.
  • Podcast URL (Whisper): should show “Downloading audio …” then “Transcribing …” with duration when known.
  • summarize https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2424-jelly-roll/id360084272?i=1000740717432 --metrics detailed

#Presets

  • Define a preset in ~/.summarize/config.json (see docs/config.md → “Presets”), then:
  • summarize --model <preset> --max-output-tokens 200 https://example.com
  • If the preset contains OpenRouter models, ensure OPENROUTER_API_KEY is set.

#Images

  • Local image (auto uses API models by default; enable CLI via cli.enabled to test CLIs):
  • summarize ./path/to/image.png --max-output-tokens 200

#Video

  • YouTube:
  • summarize https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ --max-output-tokens 200
  • YouTube summary w/ timestamps (expect [mm:ss] in output):
  • summarize --timestamps --youtube web --length short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I845O57ZSy4
  • Local video understanding (requires Gemini video-capable model; otherwise expect an error or transcript-only behavior depending on input):
  • summarize ./path/to/video.mp4 --max-output-tokens 200

#Z.AI

  • summarize --model zai/glm-4.7 --max-output-tokens 200 https://example.com
