Summarise a PDF

A 40-page report, contract or research paper takes hours to read. You usually only need the key points — but skimming risks missing something important.

Why this works

Our AI summariser reads the entire PDF and returns a structured summary: TL;DR, key points, decisions, and risks/open questions. Long documents are summarised in sections, then rolled up.

Common questions

How accurate is the summary?

Summaries are extractive — quoted facts come from the document. Always verify critical numbers and quotes against the source.

Are my files used for training?

No. Files and summaries are deleted within 60 minutes and never used to train any model.

Can it handle non-English?

Yes — summarisation works in 30+ languages. Ask for the summary in any of those languages.
