Pasting a web page straight into an AI chat carries along everything the browser rendered with it: ad markup, navigation menus, tracking scripts, and inline styles the model has to wade through before it even sees your actual question. Converting the page to Markdown first strips that noise and keeps your prompt focused on the content that matters.
Steps
- Open Aura Extract on the page you want to convert and choose the full-page capture option.
- The extension runs the content through Readability.js to isolate the main article body — headers, sidebars, and footers are dropped automatically — then converts the result to Markdown with Turndown.
- The .md file is written straight to your configured workspace folder — no save dialog.
- Open the file, copy the contents, and paste into your AI chat of choice. The Markdown headings and lists give the model clear structure to work from, at a fraction of the token cost of the raw page.
