Short answer

How can I use my AI to summarize long documents?

You use the summarize_text tool to feed long text into open-source models that output condensed versions. This turns massive transcripts or reports into brief, actionable points. You'll get specific outputs based on the model you choose.

The results you get

What your summaries look like

The AI processes your text and delivers these specific outcomes.

CORE

Condensed text

The AI uses summarize_text to shrink long documents. You get a shorter version that keeps the main points.

DETAIL

Key takeaways

Instead of reading a 50-page report, you get a list of the most important facts. This helps you skip the fluff.

FORMAT

Custom lengths

You can ask for a single paragraph or a bulleted list. The model adjusts the output to fit your needs.

HUMAN

Final review

The AI handles the reduction, but you decide if the summary captures the nuance you need. You remain the editor.

The workflow

    The model makes the initial selection, but you should always review the summary to ensure it didn't miss a detail you care about.

    Can I use this to summarize images?

    No. This specific tool is designed for text-based documents and transcripts.

  • 04

    Will the AI delete my source files?

    No. The AI only reads the content to create a summary. It has no permission to delete or modify your files.
