What is a summarizing tool?

A summarizing tool is a tool that turns a long text into a short one with the main points. You paste an article, a report or notes, and it writes a summary at the length you choose. It's useful for reading faster, sharing the gist with someone, or turning notes into a short update.

How do you use a summary well?

Use it to decide what to read in full, not to replace reading what matters. A summary keeps the main points and drops detail, so check numbers and quotes against the original before you share them. For a meeting or a long thread, the paragraph length is usually enough.
