Summary of summaries

What it does

The model can only read so much text at once. For a long document, this technique cuts it into chunks, summarizes each chunk, and then summarizes those partial summaries into a single one.

Good to know: Smaller chunks keep more detail, but need more calls to the model and take longer.

How to use it

1. Paste a long text. The sample is an article repeated three times.
2. Under the box you see how many chunks it will make. The slider changes the size of a chunk.
3. Choose the type of the final summary.
4. Press “Summarize in chunks”. A progress bar shows which chunk is being done.
5. Open “Summary of each chunk” to see the intermediate steps.
