About this tool
This free text summarizer reads a long text and gives you the main points in a few lines. Paste an article, essay, report, research paper, meeting notes or a long email thread, choose how long the summary should be, and the AI summarizer returns a clear summary as a paragraph or as bullet points. It saves time when you need the gist fast, want notes for studying or need a short version for a report.
