Summarize text with AI

Advertisements

Provide the text you want summarized and generate a shorter draft that you can check against the source. Follow the workflow with the input and settings below. AI results may vary between runs. Open AI Text Summarizer.

01

Prepare the source text

Open AI Text Summarizer and choose Write or paste text, or upload a supported UTF-8 text file. The upload opens the editor; it does not run the tool. This example uses the exact source shown in the comparison.

Maximum input: 1,000 characters and 64 KB of UTF-8 data. Result limit: 1 MB. Generation preferences do not guarantee an exact word count.

Use the exact example input
A community garden provides fresh food, brings neighbors together, and creates a place to learn. Volunteers share the work of planting, watering, and harvesting. The garden also gives children a practical way to discover how plants grow.

Your text and selected writing options are sent for server-side AI processing when you select Generate text. Temporary text-processing files are removed when the request finishes. A browser-tab draft may remain until cleared or the session ends.

02

Choose the settings

For the recorded example, use these settings: Output language: English; Tone: Formal.

Use the input for the original text, then choose the output language and tone. If a particular point must remain, state that within the input limit. The summarizer works from the text you submit; it does not open links or retrieve a complete article from a URL.
