What the Text Summarizer does

Paste a news story, a chapter, a long email thread or a set of meeting notes, and this tool returns a summary that leads with the main point. It keeps the names, figures and conclusions that matter and leaves out repetition and side detail. Nothing is added that was not in your text, so the summary stays faithful to the source.

Pick a length to match what you need. Short gives two or three sentences, useful for a quick update to a colleague. Medium gives a single paragraph. Long keeps more of the reasoning across a few paragraphs. You can also have the summary written in another language, which helps when the source is in a language you read slowly.
