- Upload your PDF. Choose or drag in the document you want summarised: up to 60 pages and 15 MB. As soon as you pick it, the page shows roughly how many pages it has and what the summary will cost, before anything is charged. The file is checked, read securely by the AI (including scanned pages, tables and figures) and then deleted; it’s never stored. Password-protected PDFs and PDFs containing scripts, attachments or interactive forms are refused for security. Only upload documents you’re entitled to use, and nothing containing student or patient personal information.
- Choose the length. Brief gives the essentials on one or two pages. Standard summarises the document section by section. Detailed gives fuller section summaries and more key points, which suits long reports and dense chapters.
- Choose who it’s written for. Me (educator) keeps the discipline’s own terms and assumes subject knowledge, which suits preparing to teach or keeping up with the literature. My students (plain language) explains terms as it goes and keeps sentences simple, so you can share the summary as a reading guide.
- Set the level and discipline. These help the summary pitch its language and pick out what matters in your field, such as the method and effect sizes in a clinical study or the holding in a legal judgment.
- Add a focus (optional). Under “More options”, add your unit or course title and anything you’d like the summary to concentrate on, for example “the implications for nursing practice” or “the methodology only”. The unit title is also carried into anything you create from the summary.
- Summarise. Choose “Summarise PDF”. The summary is written in the background while a progress message shows, and it usually takes under a minute. You’re charged once, when the finished summary is saved. If the PDF can’t be read or something goes wrong, you aren’t charged.
- Read the summary. The overall theme sits in a highlighted box at the top. Below it come the key takeaways, then each section of the document, which you can open and close, followed by key terms, key figures, limitations and discussion questions.
- Download or copy it. Word gives you an editable document, with the key figures in a table. Print / PDF opens a print-ready page that you can save as a PDF. Copy text puts the whole summary on your clipboard for an email, your learning management system (LMS) or your notes. To change the wording, edit the Word version.
- Turn it into teaching material. From a finished summary you can generate 10 MCQs, a mind map, a presentation, or up to three case studies built on the document. Each option is priced on its own button and pre-filled from the summary. Every summary is saved to “My Summaries” and to “Everything You’ve Generated” on your User Hub.
Every action’s credit cost is shown on its own button before you commit to it. Nothing is charged silently.
