What is the Summarize tool?
The Summarize tool uses AI to condense selected text, sections of a webpage, or an entire document into a clear, concise summary. It helps users quickly identify key ideas and essential information without needing to read lengthy or complex content in full.
Summarize works with both text and visual content and is especially useful when students encounter unfamiliar topics, dense academic language, or lengthy texts.
