Research Summarizer

Summarize research into key points, conclusions and open questions while retaining sources.

Available in app
Highlighted source passages connect to a concise summary card.

Overview

Digests the papers, articles and reports you already have into structured briefs: the central thesis, evidence-backed findings, method, limitations, actionable takeaways and page-anchored quotes — each with a quick read on the source's credibility, evidence strength, recency and bias signals.

Beyond single files: two to five documents get individually distilled and then compared, with agreements, contradictions and complements laid out; citation lists can be extracted in consistent formatting. It works on supplied material only — when sources still need to be found on the web, that's the research skills' job.

Briefs follow fixed templates so every output has the same shape, and land in your workspace or Notes for later reference.

Where it helps

  • Compress a 40-page whitepaper into a page-cited research brief
  • Compare three industry reports for agreements and contradictions
  • Break down a paper's methodology and limits in academic structure
  • Extract a consistently formatted citation list from supplied material

Examples

Examples describe the request and the shape of the expected deliverable; they are not completed run results.

Example prompt

Brief this paper in the academic structure: thesis, three findings each with evidence, sample and method, author-acknowledged limits, plus one action I can use next week.

Expected output

A workspace brief; every finding carries its source location and a credibility note.

Example prompt

These two market-size estimates disagree. Compare their data sources, time windows and definitional scope, and say which layer the conflict sits in.

Expected output

A dimension-aligned comparison with conflict attribution, keeping both figures as printed rather than averaging them.
