What is a text summarizer?
A text summarizer reads long content and produces a shorter version that keeps the essential facts and arguments. Humanit’s summarizer preserves every important number, name, and date from the source and never adds information that wasn’t there — so the TL;DR is accurate, not invented.
Five summary formats
Short gives you 2–3 sentences for the core point. Medium is a single tidy paragraph. Long keeps nuance across 2–3 paragraphs. Bullets returns 5–8 scannable points. Key Points pulls 3–5 punchy takeaways. Match the format to how you’ll use it.
When to summarize
Condense a long article before a deadline, turn a lecture transcript into study notes, pull the key points out of a report, or generate a TL;DR for a newsletter. The summarizer matches the source’s tone — formal in, formal out.
