An article, notes, an essay or a PDF with text in it.
Free tool
AI summarizer, on your own computer.
Paste an article, a report or meeting notes, or drop a PDF, and get key points, a short summary or a headline. In Chrome on a capable computer the summary is written by Chrome's built-in AI, which runs offline; in any other browser the tool picks the key sentences from your text. Either way, your text is never uploaded.

Questions
Good to know.
What is Chrome's built-in AI?
Since version 138, Chrome on a computer can summarise text with an AI model that Google ships inside the browser and runs on your own machine. Google lists what it needs: Windows 10 or 11, macOS 13 or later, Linux or a Chromebook Plus, at least 22 GB of free disk space, and either a graphics chip with more than 4 GB of memory or 16 GB of RAM with 4 CPU cores. The model downloads once, then works offline.
Why does my browser only offer Key sentences?
Chrome's AI is not in Safari, Firefox, phones or older Chrome, and Chrome turns it off on computers below Google's requirements. Key sentences works everywhere: it scores each sentence by how often its main words appear in the whole text, and keeps the best ones in their original order.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Both ways run in this browser tab. Chrome's AI runs on your own computer, and Key sentences is a small program on this page.
Can it make things up?
Key sentences cannot: every sentence comes from your text, word for word. Chrome's AI writes new sentences and, like any AI model, can now and then get a detail wrong, so check names and numbers against the original.
Which languages work?
Google lists English, Spanish, Japanese, German and French as the languages Chrome's AI accepts, and its summaries here are written in English. Key sentences works in any language that has sentence punctuation, though its list of common words to skip is English.
How long can the text be?
Key sentences handles very long texts in a moment. Chrome's AI reads a limited amount at once, so a long text is summarised in parts and the parts are then summarised together, which takes longer.
