AI Text Summarizer

Long article into a short summary or key bullet points

Summarize an article, document, meeting transcript, or any long text into a short summary, key points, or a detailed summary. The short summary is two or three sentences, the key points appear on their own lines, and the detailed summary keeps the arguments and structure of the original. The default is key points. The summary is written in the same language as the original text, and the tool is instructed not to add information that is not there. You can paste up to 8,000 characters at a time, and the text is sent for cloud AI processing. Each run counts as one AI action.

Frequently asked questions

Does the summary invent things?

The tool is instructed to summarize only what is written in the text. AI can make mistakes with details, so for a summary used to make a decision, you should check numbers and names against the original.

What is the maximum length?

Up to 8,000 characters per run. Longer texts are summarized in parts, and then you can summarize the summaries.

What language will the summary be in?

In the same language as the original, so an English article will be summarized in English. For a Hebrew summary, move the result to the translation tool.

Can I summarize a PDF file or a video?

Not directly. The tool works on pasted text. For a PDF, copy the text, and for a video, you need a transcript first.

Is the text saved on your servers?

No. It is sent to cloud AI for summarizing, and we do not save it.
