Document Summariser (TL;DR)

Paste a long document, report, contract or article and our AI gives you a faithful summary: a TL;DR, the key points, the details that matter (figures, dates, decisions) and any action items. Great for getting across something quickly, prepping for a meeting, or making sense of a dense document. Choose one-line, concise or detailed. Delivered on the page + as an editable Word file. 2 free revisions.

The Document Summariser takes text you paste — a report, a supplier agreement, an industry article, a meeting pack — and returns a TL;DR, the key points, the figures, dates and decisions worth knowing, and any action items buried in it. A$9 per summary, about two minutes, delivered on your order page and downloadable as an editable Word (.docx) file plus Markdown.

What makes a summary worth reading is what it refuses to add. This one distils faithfully to the source, so if the document is vague on a point the summary stays vague on that point rather than manufacturing a certainty that was never in the text. Action items appear only where the document actually contains them. Two free AI revisions are included, so a first pass that lands at the wrong depth costs nothing to correct.

One-line, concise or detailed

The length setting carries more weight than it looks. One-line is triage — six documents landed this morning and you need to know which one deserves a real read. Concise is meeting-prep length: enough to hold a conversation about something you have not opened. Detailed keeps the structure and the specifics, which is what you want when you will be quoted on the contents or need the numbers in front of you.

Getting the choice wrong is cheap. A revision can come back shorter, lean harder on the figures, or concentrate on one section, and it reruns on the document you already pasted rather than costing another A$9.

Contracts, statements and anything with money attached

For contracts, legal correspondence, financial statements and anything carrying an obligation, treat the summary as a map rather than the territory. It is AI-written from text you paste, and it is not legal or financial advice — no summary substitutes for reading the clause you are about to sign, or for having a qualified professional look at it. Use it to work out which parts of a long agreement deserve your full attention, then read those parts properly.

It also only ever sees what you gave it. Linked appendices, referenced schedules and attachments never make it into the summary, because they never made it into the input.

Saying what the summary is for

Before you paste anything, the tool asks what you need the summary for. Worth answering properly: meeting prep, a decision brief and simply getting across an industry piece are different jobs, and this is your one chance to steer which details rise to the top. "Prepping for a supplier negotiation on Thursday" gives it more to work with than "summary".

The same goes for revisions. "Shorter" works; "pull out every obligation sitting on our side" works better. You have two of them, and they are included in the A$9.

It condenses; it does not judge

The Summariser holds no opinion about the document. It will not improve the writing, restructure an argument, or tell you whether what you pasted is any good — Document Rewrite & Enhance and Document Review & Feedback exist for those jobs. Its only task is to make a long thing short without making it wrong.

That is also why it works on documents you did not write, which is usually where the need comes from — the supplier's agreement, the consultant's report, the forty pages someone forwarded at six o'clock the night before.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a PDF or Word file instead of pasting the text?

No — the input is pasted text. Copy the contents out of your PDF, Word file or web page and paste them in. What comes back is an editable Word (.docx) file and a Markdown download, but the document goes in as text.

The summary skipped the part I actually cared about. Now what?

Run a revision. Tell it what was missed or what to focus on — a particular section, the financial figures, the obligations on your side — and it runs again on the same document. Two AI revisions are included in the A$9.

Is there a length it stops coping with?

It is built for long material — reports, contracts, articles, meeting packs — and we do not publish a page or word cap. If you are working with something unusually large, the practical approach is to summarise it in parts, keeping in mind that each part is a separate A$9 summary. Revisions rerun on text you have already pasted rather than adding new material.
