Minus the scroll.** SumAI summarizes web articles on iPhone and iPad. Paste a link, or share a page straight from Safari, and SumAI turns the text of the article into a summary with the key points. Read it, listen to it, ask questions about it, or save it for later. ## Highlights - **Any article link.** News, blog posts, essays, documentation, long reads. If the page has a main body of text, SumAI can summarize it. - **Share from Safari.** Tap Share in Safari and choose SumAI. No copying, no switching apps to paste. - **Read it or hear it.** Have the summary read aloud at 0.75x to 2x speed. [More on Listen](https://getsumai.app/features/listen-to-summaries/). - **Foreign-language articles.** Summarize an article written in one language and read the result in yours. [60+ languages](https://getsumai.app/features/summarize-in-any-language/). - **Ask the article.** Use Ask AI to pull out a specific fact or argument without rereading the page. - **A reading list that reads itself.** Save summaries to your library with tags, and come back to the full article only when it earns it. ## The problem with long reads You open twelve tabs with good intentions. Three weeks later they are still open. Most articles have one or two ideas that matter to you, wrapped in an introduction, some background and a conclusion that repeats the introduction. SumAI gives you those one or two ideas first. If the article turns out to be worth your time, you read it knowing where it is going. If it is not, you have what you needed and you can close the tab. ## What you get For each article, SumAI produces a summary in one of [five styles](https://getsumai.app/features/summary-styles/), from a single TL;DR paragraph to a detailed breakdown. With it come the same tools SumAI offers for videos and PDFs: - **Ask AI** for questions about the article. - **A mind map** of its main idea and subtopics. - **A quiz and flashcards**, for articles you want to remember rather than skim. - **Listen**, to hear the summary instead of reading it. ## Three ways people use it **Clearing the tab backlog.** Share each open article to SumAI with the TL;DR style. Keep the summaries, close the tabs, and reopen only the few articles that deserve a full read. **Reading across languages.** A good article in German, Japanese or Spanish is still a good article. Set the summary language to your own and read the key points without translating the whole page first. **Research with a paper trail.** Tag summaries by project in your [library](https://getsumai.app/features/library-and-export/), then export them as Markdown to drop into your notes. Each summary keeps its link to the source. ## A note on accuracy A summary compresses, and compression loses detail. For anything you plan to quote, cite or act on, open the original article and check the passage. SumAI is a way to find what is worth reading closely, not a reason to stop reading closely. ## How to summarize a web page in Safari on iPhone 1. **Open the article in Safari.** Go to the page you want to summarize. 2. **Tap Share and choose SumAI.** Tap the **Share** button in Safari's toolbar and pick **SumAI** from the share sheet. If you prefer, copy the page link and paste it into SumAI instead. 3. **Choose a style and a language.** Pick how deep the summary should go and which language it should be in. 4. **Read or listen.** Read the key points, or press Listen to hear them while you do something else. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I summarize a web page on iPhone? Open the page in Safari, tap Share and choose SumAI, or copy the link and paste it into the SumAI app. Pick a summary style and a language, and SumAI returns the key points in seconds. ### Can SumAI summarize any website? SumAI is built for articles: pages with a main body of text such as news stories, blog posts, essays and documentation. Pages that are mostly images, video or interactive tools have little text to summarize. ### Does SumAI work with paywalled articles? SumAI summarizes the text it can load from the link you give it. Pages that require a login or sit behind a paywall may not be summarized. ### Do I have to use Safari? No. The share sheet option is available from Safari, and from any browser you can copy a page's link and paste it into SumAI. ### Can I listen to a web article instead of reading it? Yes. Once SumAI has summarized the article, the Listen feature reads the summary aloud at a speed you choose, from 0.75x to 2x.
