How AI Summarization Works

AI summarization uses natural language processing to extract key information:

4. Coherence — the summary is structured to flow naturally

• Bullet points — key takeaways as a list. Best for quick scans.
• Paragraph — a flowing summary. Best for understanding context.
• Executive — high-level overview. Best for decision makers.
