AI Text Summarizer

In short The shape you ask for changes what a summary can preserve, and choosing it deliberately is most of the skill. One line holds a single claim. Bullets hold parallel points but drop the connections between them. A paragraph can carry an argument, because it has room for the words that make a conclusion follow from a premise. A structured brief suits something someone must act on. Asking for the wrong shape is the usual reason a summary feels useless — an argument summarised as bullets becomes a set of unsupported assertions. Focusing the summary on a particular aspect changes it more than length does: the same document summarised for its risks and for its costs produces two genuinely different texts, and both are correct. Two things always need checking against the source. Numbers and dates, because they are the most valuable content and the first to be garbled. And hedges — if the source said something "may" be true and the summary says it "is", the summary is wrong even though every fact in it is right.
