Summary

Extractive summary — it selects key sentences from your text (it does not invent new wording). Review for context before relying on it.

Pull out the substance before you commit

Long documents hide their point. This pulls out the substance so you can decide whether the full thing is worth reading — which is usually the decision you actually need to make.

Paste your text, choose how much you want back, and read the short version first.

What it works well on, and what it does not

Worth knowing before you paste something in, because the failure is quiet — you get a summary either way, it is just a worse one.

  • Works well: articles, reports, meeting notes, research papers — anything with a clear argument running through it.
  • Struggles: dialogue, creative writing, and highly technical text where every sentence carries specific meaning.
  • Summarising a legal clause loses the clause. If precision is the point, read it properly.

The tool will summarise both. Only one of them survives it.

You choose how much comes back

The length is a slider rather than a fixed setting, and it re-scores the same text at each position instead of truncating the previous summary.

  • Pull it down for a headline read — enough to decide whether to open the original.
  • Push it up when you need the detail and are summarising to save time rather than to triage.
  • Or switch to a fixed number of key sentences if that suits the text better.
The same article, three settings
Original2,400 words
25% setting600 words
10% setting240 words
Each setting re-reads the original. The short one is not the long one cut off.

Three steps, and a focus keyword if you need one

The focus keyword is the part people miss. Give it one and the scoring weights sentences that mention it, which turns a general summary into an answer to a specific question.

  • Paste the text — no upload, no file step.
  • Set the length, and pick paragraph or bullets.
  • Add a focus keyword to bias the summary toward one topic in a document that covers several.

What you paste is not uploaded

The summarising happens in the page you are looking at, which is why there is no queue and no sign-up.

  • Your text is never sent to us to produce the summary.
  • If you ask for the result by email, that form posts the summary and its word counts — not the original.
  • Which matters, because the documents worth summarising are usually the ones you would not paste into a random website.

Why Parix.ai gives this away

Summarising in the browser costs us nothing per document, so there is no quota and no sign-up. These tools are how people find us — and that works better when they are honest about what they are bad at.

Summarise my text

Who uses it

Anyone triaging more reading than the day allows: analysts, students, people preparing for a meeting whose agenda arrived as six attachments.

Pair it with

For files use the PDF Summarizer, and for calls the Meeting Notes Summarizer, which pulls out decisions and actions rather than prose.

When it is a pipeline

A browser tool is right for a one-off and wrong for a queue. Our automation team builds the version that summarises documents, tickets or transcripts at scale.
