Frequently Asked Questions
Does this use AI or send my text anywhere?+
No. The summary is generated locally in your browser using lightweight extraction logic, so your text stays on your device.
What kind of content works best?+
Articles, meeting notes, essays, transcripts, and documentation all work well. Very short snippets usually do not need summarization.
