AI is a game changer when it comes to improving your study efficiency, we've put together a few of our favorite AI powered tools for summarizing information/articles/research.
- Recall AI - Their tag line is 'Summarize anything, forget nothing' and its very accurate, think of this as an online notepad and home of all study notes. It has a browser extension which makes it very convenient to use, simply click on the extension and get a quick and easy summary of a article, video, or podcast.
- Glasp - Glasp is a standout tool with a handy browser extension that creates summaries for all sorts of web pages. What really makes it unique is the social sharing feature, where you can show off your highlights and notes from any webpage to other users—a nice touch for building a knowledge-sharing community.
- Jasper - Jasper’s great for high-quality summaries and offers features tailored to marketers. It’s easy to use, supports multiple languages, and connects well with other writing tools. The downside? It’s priced as a B2B tool, so it can be a bit on the pricey side.
- QuillBot - Simple to use, and the best part? It’s free! It’s ideal for quick paraphrasing on the fly, though it might not be the best choice if you’re after longer-form content.
- TLDR - This browser extension offers one-click summarisation and has a simple, no-fuss interface. While it’s easy to use, it occasionally struggled to load summaries on certain pages, which kept it from ranking higher.
- Wordtune - Wordtune is a well-polished tool with a browser extension designed for both writing and summarizing. It’s all about helping professionals get more done in less time, making it a solid choice if you want reliable results quickly.
- Gemini - Gemini shines as an AI article summariser, letting you customise the prompt to fine-tune your summary. It’s faster than some alternatives like ChatGPT and Claude, which is a big plus. The main drawback? No browser extension—so you’ll need to copy, paste, and prompt manually for each summary.
Hope the above is helpful for your studying endeavours, we have been using Recall AI, but did try all of the above in writing the article and think they all are very helpful for summarising.
