This page reads the pasted article and lists its key points as a short numbered list, most important first. Names, figures, dates and quotes are kept exactly as the article gives them.
What you get
Most important point first
The list starts with the claim the article leads with, then moves through the supporting points in order of weight, so the first line is the one to read if you read only one.
Figures and quotes kept as written
Dollar and euro amounts, percentages, dates, names and direct quotes are copied from the article as they appear, not rounded or reworded.
Short, one-sentence points
Each point is a single sentence, and the list stops at eight, so a long article becomes a list you can scan in under a minute.
How it works
- Step 1
Paste the article text into the box, starting with the headline. The preview reads up to about 6,000 characters.
- Step 2
Read the numbered list of key points in the preview, checking any figure or date against the article when it matters.
- Step 3
Create a free account to get the whole list for longer articles, scanned pages, a different number of points, and editing, sharing and follow-up questions in chat.
Who uses it
A reader catching up on a long piece
You want the gist of a 2,000-word feature before deciding whether to read the rest, and the numbered list tells you the main claims in order.
Someone passing news on to colleagues
You need to share what an article says in a team update, and the list keeps the exact figures and dates so the numbers you repeat match the source.
A student checking a source before citing it
You want to see which claims and quotes an article makes before you decide what to cite, then confirm the wording against the original page.
Questions
How many key points will the list contain?
The list has at most eight points, each one sentence, with the most important first. Short articles may produce fewer. A free account can change the number of points.
Are the numbers and quotes in the list exact?
Yes. Figures, dates, names and direct quotes are kept exactly as the article writes them. Results can still contain mistakes, so check any figure or quote against the original article before you rely on it.
Which article text can I paste?
Paste the article's headline and body. Menus, adverts, related-story links and comment sections add noise, so leave them out if you can. The preview reads about the first 6,000 characters.
What does a free account add?
A free account gives you the full result for longer articles, scanned pages (which need OCR), a different number of points, and the ability to edit and share the list and ask follow-up questions in chat.
Does the list keep the article's language?
Yes. The key points are written in the same language as the article. The tool uses only what the article says and does not add outside information.
