Frequently asked questions
What kinds of summaries can I generate?
Eight modes: Quick (3-5 key points), Detailed, Executive, Bullet Points, Study Notes, Meeting Summary (decisions/action items/follow-ups), Research Paper (abstract/methodology/findings/limitations), and Custom Length with your own word-count target.
What file types are supported?
PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown, up to your plan's upload cap (25MB on a free account, up to 120MB on a paid pass) — or just paste text directly, no file needed. Scanned PDFs with no text layer are OCR'd automatically before summarizing.
What are the 'add-on insights'?
Optional extras alongside your summary: key points, topic tags, sentiment, action items, discussion questions, flashcards, notable quotes, and risks/opportunities — pick any combination.
How does it handle really long documents?
Long documents are split into chunks, each condensed independently, then combined into one final summary in your chosen style — a real map-reduce pass, not a hard cutoff that silently drops the back half of your document.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes — the AI responds in the same language as your document's body text automatically.
Can I download or save the summary?
Copy it, download as TXT, Markdown, or DOCX, or save it to your account's history panel to revisit later.
Is my document used to train AI models?
No — your document is sent to the AI provider only to generate your result and isn't used for model training. Files are encrypted, processed securely, and automatically deleted after completion.

Security & privacy
Encrypted in transit
Every upload happens over HTTPS straight to encrypted cloud storage — never plain HTTP, never a third-party relay.
Automatically deleted after processing
Your document and the generated summary are automatically and permanently deleted from storage after completion — no manual cleanup needed.
Never used for AI training
Your content is sent to the AI provider only to generate your summary. It is never used to train models, and never shared with any third party.
Privacy-first by design
Nothing about your document is retained beyond what's needed to produce your result and, if you choose, your own saved history entry.
