How SumAI helps

  • Keynotes and webinars

    Summarize talks, panels and product launches on YouTube without blocking an hour in your calendar.

  • Reports and white papers

    Get the findings and recommendations of a long PDF first, then read the sections that affect your decision.

  • Articles and long reads

    Share an article from Safari and read the key points between meetings.

  • Brief the team

    Export a summary as PDF or Markdown, or share it directly, so everyone starts from the same page.

  • Find the exact quote

    The transcript and timestamps take you to the precise words when you need to cite them.

  • Sources in any language

    Read a talk given in another language in the language you work in.

The backlog nobody finishes

The keynote you meant to watch. The 60-page market report. The three long articles a colleague sent with “worth a read”. None of it is urgent and all of it is useful, which is exactly why it never gets done.

SumAI makes that backlog small enough to finish. You get the key points in minutes, and you spend real time only on the items that turn out to matter.

Where it fits in a working day

Before a meeting. Someone will ask whether you saw the announcement. Share the video to SumAI in the lift and read the Standard summary on the way to the room.

When a report lands. Summarize the PDF, then use Ask AI for the questions you actually have: “What are the recommendations?” “What does it say about our market?” Read those sections in full.

For competitive and industry tracking. Tag summaries by company or topic in your library. Over a quarter you build a searchable record of what was said and when.

When the source is in another language. A partner’s product launch in Japanese, a regulator’s briefing in German. Set the summary language to your own.

To brief others. Export as Markdown and paste it into your team’s notes, or as PDF for an email. A two-minute summary gets read. A one-hour video link does not.

Accuracy at work

A summary that is slightly wrong can travel a long way once it is forwarded. Two habits prevent that:

  • Check before you forward. For any figure, date or commitment, tap the timestamp and confirm it in the original.
  • Share the source with the summary. Include the link so colleagues can verify what matters to them.

SumAI is a way to decide where to spend your attention. For anything a decision rests on, the original is still the authority.

What it does not do

SumAI does not join your calls, record meetings or connect to your company’s documents. It works on what you give it: a YouTube link, a web article or a PDF with selectable text.

    Export the summary as PDF or Markdown and send it to the people who need it.

FAQ

Questions from professionals

Can SumAI summarize webinars and conference talks?

Yes, when they are on YouTube and have captions or auto-generated subtitles. SumAI gives you a summary, chapters with timestamps, the transcript and an AI chat for follow-up questions.

Can SumAI summarize meeting recordings?

No. SumAI is not a meeting recorder and does not import audio or video files. It summarizes YouTube videos, web articles and PDFs.

Can I share a summary with colleagues?

Yes. You can export a summary as PDF or Markdown, share it through the iOS share sheet, or copy its text into an email or chat.

Should I use SumAI with confidential documents?

Check your organization's policy on AI tools first, as you would with any service that processes documents. SumAI's privacy practices are described in its Privacy Policy and its App Store privacy label.

Can I rely on a summary for a business decision?

Use the summary to find what matters, then confirm the specifics in the source. Timestamps and the transcript make that quick for videos. For figures, commitments and anything contractual, read the original passage.
