Yes, orbit, a now deprecated firefox extension by mozilla was doing that. This way you could also use it to summarise content that would not be available to a third party (eg sth in google docs).
You can still sort of do the same with the ai chatbot panel in firefox, sort of, but ctrl+A>right click>AI chatbot>summarise.
It could be a personal knowledge management system, but it seems like knowledge management systems should be operating off of things you already have. The research library down the street isn't considered a "personal knowledge management system" in any sense of the term if you know what I mean. If you dispatch an army of minions to take notes on the library's contents that doesn't seem personal. Similarly if you dispatch the army of minions to a bookstore rather than a library. At the very least bring the item into your house/office first. (Libraries are a little different because they are designed for studying and taking notes, it's use of an army of minions aspect)
