Story Summarizer
Summarizing your own draft shows you what the story actually says. Paste a story, chapter or long draft, choose how long the summary should be, which language to write it in, whether it may include spoilers and which sections you need. The story summarizer returns a summary and, if you want, plot beats, characters, themes and the core conflict, asked to use only what the text states.
How to Use the Story Summarizer
Paste the text
Paste at least a few sentences and up to 30,000 characters. A whole chapter or a short story works well; for a long manuscript, summarize one chapter at a time so details are not lost. The text is used only as material to summarize.
Choose what you need
Pick an output format: Summary, Plot beats, or Full breakdown with characters, themes and core conflict. Choose a length from brief to detailed, a language, and Spoiler-free or Include spoilers. Spoiler-free describes the setup and stakes without revealing the ending.
Compare it with the original
Read the summary next to your text. It is asked to use only facts the text states and to leave out anything it does not say, but a summary can still compress or misread, so check names, order of events and the ending. Copy it into your notes or synopsis.
Use Plot Beats to Find Gaps
Numbered plot beats show the sequence of events without your style. If two beats do not obviously cause each other, or the story pauses for several beats, that is a place to look at your draft. Ask for the full breakdown to see whether the core conflict is the one you meant.
Write a Synopsis From the Summary
A summary is a start for a synopsis, a cover note or a series bible. Edit it to match the tone you want, add anything that matters to your reader and remove details that do not. For anything shared outside your team, check each fact against the text.
Three Ways to Use It
These are example uses. Paste your own text and choose the options that fit.
Check a chapter
Paste a finished chapter, choose Plot beats and Include spoilers, and compare the beats with what you meant to happen.
Write a spoiler-free blurb draft
Paste the opening chapters, choose Summary, Brief and Spoiler-free, and use the result as the first draft of a back-cover blurb.
Build a series note
Paste a finished book, choose Full breakdown and Detailed, and keep the characters and core conflict lines as a reference for the next book.
Keep Working on the Draft
Continue the story with the story continuer, or plan what comes next with the story outline generator.
Questions About the Story Summarizer
Will it invent details that are not in my text?
The generator is asked to use only facts the text states and to leave out anything it does not say. It can still compress or misread a passage, so check names, the order of events and the ending against your text.
How much text can I paste?
At least a few sentences and up to 30,000 characters. For a longer manuscript, summarize a chapter or a section at a time.
What does spoiler-free mean?
The summary describes the setup, the characters and what is at stake, but does not reveal the ending or the final twist. Choose Include spoilers when you need the full outcome.
Which languages can it write in?
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. The summary is written in the language you choose, whatever language the text is in. Have a fluent reader check it before you rely on it.
Is my text stored or used to train models?
Pasted text is sent to generate the summary and is not saved to your library. Read the privacy policy for how data is handled.
