List the main authors.

!summarize https://example.com

or

1. Clone the repository into the extensions folder within the text-generation-webui project directory using the command:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yourrepository.git lynx
   cd lynx
   # pip install -r requirements.txt

2. add the extension by modifying the launch commands for text-generation-webui, usually by editing CMD_FLAGS.txt to add --extension lynx

3. Finally, launch the text-generation-webui application. A new option labeled "Use Lynx" should appear in the chat tab when launched. Enabling this checkbox activates the extension; disabling it deactivates it.
