Get a relevant summary of a text or article in just a few seconds

We all dreamed of it, SummarizeBot did it: automatically summarize a text or an article to keep only the essentials. No need to read dozens and dozens of lines, this bot will serve you on a platter the substantive marrow of any text!

Indeed, it is a bot based on a winning triplet of current technologies, namely Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain. Thanks to its algorithm and the power of these technologies, it will process for you on demand and in just a few seconds, any text (that you provide using its URL) to keep only a brief summary, keywords and the most relevant sentences.

Since it is a bot, it does not work autonomously, but requires you to address it via Facebook Messenger or Slack. You can access it by following the links on the website of SummarizeBot. But, if you don't have Facebook or Slack, there is still a demo page accessible here.

Start a chat with the Bot and paste the URL of a text you would like to summarize. In a few seconds you will get a link to the condensed text.

Let's take the example of one of my longest articles on Byothe.fr: The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the world. But what is its history?

This fascinating article, which describes the history of the Internet of Things, is approaching 3 words. It is a relatively long, in-depth article.

Running it through SummarizeBot's mill, we get a 535-word summary... much faster to read. The tool estimates that this will save you 10 minutes (that seems like a lot to me, but this robot is probably smarter than me so I'm not being smart and I trust it... although). This summary can also be downloaded in PDF format if you want to read it later.

But that's not all. In addition to providing you with a summary, the tool will give you access to a certain number of keywords and a few key phrases that will allow you to have an idea of ​​the broad outlines of the subject covered.

Of course, it's not perfect... to understand a text it is often useful to have it in its entirety, but I must say that the job is still quite impressive!

Get a summary of information on a keyword in a few seconds

Even better, this robot can also make you a selection of news articles about a subject of your choice and this works in English but also in French (and in most languages ​​of the world).

For example, if you tell it "news about France" you will get a list of relatively relevant articles and for each of them, you will be able to read the article or see the summary from SummarizeBot.

In short, SummarizeBot is far from perfect, but the work it does is still remarkable. It hints at the power of AI tools in the years to come!
