I like it but it's expensive

This service is great for getting a quick read of articles, but $119/year for only 20 articles a month is steep. For that amount of money I want to see additional features, including folders for saved articles, the ability to add our own highlights and notes, and a mobile app version if they don't have one.

very helpful and convenient, helps me turn in last minute work, (which is a problem, I know.)

Please use this if your constantly on a deadline that's inching closer and closer! (but remember to do you're work when you get it (school advice))

Was amazing to see this work so fast and effectively, made it a lot easier to read the articles sent by my teacher to study

Super helpful tool for ADHD/Dyslexia. It is really a big help to picking up information quickly that otherwise would have been lost or not read at all in texts

I am so thoroughly delighted with this program. I'm not a student, nor does my job require reading long form information, so I use this strictly for things it has absolutely no business being used for, mainly seeing how it summarizes my own fictional writing. Honestly, I'm super impressed with its ability. Reading and summarizing non-fiction is easy enough to program, but there's a good deal more nuance to doing the same with fiction, and this does a remarkably good job at it. It manages to hit most of the major plot points as well as focus in on anything that repeats multiple times, helping to zero in on potential themes and such. I can't recommend it to be the sole way you read a piece of fiction because there are important things that it misses, and it often gets character dialogue and actions confused, but it works well as a good starting point to help you understand what you're about to read, as well as a refresher for something you read recently but maybe don't fully remember. In addition, if you read it on the website instead of the little pop out, it will show you where in the document it pulled the spotlights, allowing you to read and interpret them on your own. I think the price is a little steep for what it's offering (unless you have access to the student discount) but fair for the most part, though I do hope to see it gain some additional features rather than just improved customer service. Options being perhaps being able to store and sort summaries and maybe a really brief overview of the entire document. Should something like that be added, I may be inclined to opt in for the premium, but in the meantime I'll stick with paying around with my two summaries a month. All in all, I think this is a delightful piece of software, and I look forward to seeing how it develops and improves over time, as well as finding new ways to apply it to my creative endeavors.
