Summarize

Instant structured summary

Summarize produces a clean four-part output — TL;DR, Key Points, Action Items, and Notable Details — from any document or conversation, in seconds.

How it works

TL;DR, key points, and
action items — instantly

Point it at any document or conversation. Summarize extracts the essence: what matters, what to do, and what nuances a quick skim would miss.

Four-Part Output

TL;DR (1-2 sentences), Key Points (3-7 bullets), Action Items (with owners/deadlines), and Notable Details that a summary would normally lose.

TL;DR: API migration approved. Key: 3 phases, Q3 deadline. Action: Alex owns phase 1.

Any Source Material

Works on the open file or the current conversation equally well. Summarize a 50-page report, a 2-hour discussion, or a dense legal brief.

Summarizing: quarterly-review-q3.md (47 pages, ~18,000 words)

Action-Oriented

Extracts specific tasks, not vague conclusions. Who needs to do what, by when, with what dependencies. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Action: Sarah to send revised proposal by Friday (depends: legal review)

Notable Details

The nuances a typical summary loses — caveats, minority opinions, conditional statements, and implicit assumptions that matter for decisions.

Notable: CEO approval conditional on maintaining Q4 margins above 15%

Structured, not vague

Not "here's a brief overview."
Four-part structure that captures what matters.
