Reports, articles, email threads and meeting notes arrive faster than anyone can read them. The Text Summarizer is an AI summarizer that gives you a text in the order you need it, the one sentence that matters first, then the points behind it, then what has to happen next.
You paste the full text into one field. The result always has the same shape, a TL;DR of up to 30 words, three to seven key points ordered by importance rather than position, and a short paragraph that connects them. When the text contains decisions, deadlines or tasks, an Action items list closes the summary, with the person responsible when the text names one.
The summary stays faithful to the source. Names, figures, dates and technical terms are kept exactly, the author's level of certainty is preserved and nothing is added. It is part of the Blog and articles family.
What you get
- A one-sentence TL;DR of at most 30 words
- Three to seven key points, each a complete idea
- A short summary paragraph that links the points
- Action items only when the text contains decisions, deadlines or tasks
- Names, numbers and dates copied exactly, with no opinions added
What you fill in
- Text to summarize required
-
Paste the full text. For PDF or Word files, use File Analyzer instead.
How to use it, step by step
-
Paste the whole text
A complete text gives a better ranking of the key points than a fragment, because the tool reads everything before deciding what matters most.
-
Pick the output language
The language setting decides the language of the summary, headings included. A text in English can come back summarized in Italian, with names unchanged.
-
Keep the tone neutral
Tone only affects word choice. The summary never adds judgment or emphasis.
-
Generate and check against the source
Before you forward or publish it, confirm the figures and the action items against the original.
Example, input and output
Input
- text_to_summary
- Notes from the website relaunch meeting. Marta confirmed the new homepage copy is approved. The checkout redesign is delayed because the payment provider has not returned the test keys. Luca will chase them by Thursday. Launch stays planned for the first week of next month if the keys arrive by Friday; otherwise it moves by two weeks. Design asked for final product photos by Wednesday.
Output
**Key points**
- The launch date depends on the payment provider sending the test keys by Friday; otherwise it moves by two weeks.
- The checkout redesign is delayed while the keys are missing.
- The new homepage copy is approved.
- Design needs the final product photos by Wednesday.
**Summary**
The homepage copy is ready, but the checkout redesign is waiting on test keys from the payment provider. If they arrive by Friday the launch stays in the first week of next month, otherwise it slips by two weeks.
**Action items**
- Chase the payment provider for the test keys, by Thursday (Luca)
- Send the final product photos to design, by Wednesday

Tips for better results
- Remove signatures, disclaimers and quoted replies from email threads before pasting.
- If a text covers unrelated topics, summarize each part on its own to keep the points sharp.
- Use the TL;DR as the subject line when you forward a summary to colleagues.
Who uses it, and for what
Team lead after a meeting
Turn raw notes into a summary with decisions and action items, each with its owner when the notes name one.
Content writer doing research
Keep the key points of every source next to its link while preparing a new post.
Account manager before a call
Get the current state of a long client thread without rereading every reply.
Researcher reading papers
Summarize abstracts and conclusions to decide which papers deserve a full read.
Limits and good practice
- It works on pasted text. For PDF or Word files use File Analyzer, for a web page use Web Page Chat.
- Very long texts can exceed what a single request accepts. Split them and summarize each part.
- A summary does not check facts. An error in the source is repeated in the summary.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the summary?
Always clearly shorter than the original. The TL;DR is one sentence of up to 30 words, the key points are three to seven and the summary paragraph is short. The maximum length setting is only an upper limit, so the tool never pads a short text to reach it.
Will the summary change the meaning of the text?
It is written to avoid that. The tool keeps the author's conclusions and level of certainty, copies names, figures and dates exactly and adds no opinions or advice. It still chooses what matters most, so read it against the source before relying on it for a decision.
When does the Action items section appear?
Only when the text contains decisions, deadlines or tasks. Meeting notes and email threads usually produce one, an opinion article usually does not. Each item gets its own bullet, with the person responsible when the text names one, and nothing is invented to fill the list.
Can I summarize a PDF or a web page?
Not with this tool, which works on pasted text. File Analyzer reads PDF and Word documents and answers questions about them, Web Page Chat works on a page that is online, and YouTube Video to Content starts from a video link.
Why do I get one summary even if I ask for more results?
A faithful summary has one correct version, and variants would only differ in wording. Asking again usually returns the same points in slightly different words, so if you need another format, edit the result. You can create an account and see the plan limits on the pricing page.
