How to summarize PDF

Sign in — 500 free credits a month.
Drop the document, pick a style.
Run Summarize and read the result.

What happens to your file

The document’s text is extracted in reading order and handed to a language model that runs inside Fylane’s sandbox — your file is not sent to any outside AI provider — with instructions to summarise only what is on the page.

A scanned PDF is read with OCR first. Very long documents are summarised from their opening window and the result says so.

Questions

Does it make things up?

The model is constrained to the extracted text and the output is checked against it; it can still mis-weight what matters. Read it as a fast first pass, not a substitute.

What does it cost?

Four credits per megabyte of the document, minimum four.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.
