How it works

Paste the text you want summarized into the input box.

Tips for better results

Keep the source pasted whole rather than partial. A trimmed source can change what the summary treats as central.
Check that numbers, dates and named people in the summary match the source before using it.
If the summary drops an undecided point or a missing figure, edit the source to state it plainly and run again.
Treat the summary as a draft. Read the original before you pass anything on, since the tool does not verify claims or add context.

FAQ

Is this free?

Yes. Email signup is required and also subscribes you to Something Big, our free newsletter. Daily usage limits apply. You can unsubscribe anytime.

How long can the text be?

The summary itself is at most 100 words, but the length of the input you can paste is capped. Very long articles or reports may need to be split into sections and summarized one at a time.

Does the summary cover everything?

No. It aims to preserve central facts, caveats and attribution, but it can leave out detail, repeat a point, or misread a sentence. Read the original before relying on the summary for decisions, quotes or figures.

Can I use the output as it is?

Use it as a draft. A person should review it against the source before it goes into a report, email or published page, since the tool does not verify facts or add missing context.
