The Automatic Summary feature lets you generate a concise and relevant summary of your article in one click using our AI engine. It follows the AI-generated, human-verified principle: the AI suggests text, and a human approves or improves it before publication.

Generate a summary

Open the article in the editor.
Click the Generate Summary button located just below the title.
Wait a few seconds. The AI analyses your article and proposes a 2 to 4 sentence summary.
Review the suggestion:
- If it’s suitable, you can save the article.
- If not, edit the text directly or regenerate it.

The button is located just below the article title in the editor.

Edit the summary

Open the editor by clicking "Edit" from the article's reading page.
The summary is a simple text block. You can edit, cut, or paste it as you like.
Any change is applied immediately; no delay is required.

Publication and display

Once the article is published:

The summary appears just below the title, before the body of the article.
It is also used as a preview across the app: in search results, article lists, push notifications, etc.
