Article summarizer
Summarize any article or web page
Paste a link to an article, a blog post, documentation or a Wikipedia page. Luminar gives you the main points in a short briefing, and every point links back to the passage it came from.
How it works
Paste a link
Paste the page's address into Luminar. Or press Summarize on the page itself with the Chrome extension.
Get the main points
Luminar reads the whole page and writes a short briefing in plain words.
Jump to the source
With the extension, click a point to scroll to the exact passage on the page and highlight it.
What it is good for
Long reads
Decide if a long article is worth your time, and get its argument if it is.
Docs and guides
Get the steps and key details out of long documentation.
Wikipedia
Get a clear overview of a topic before going deeper.
Long threads
Catch up on long discussions without reading every reply.
What you get with every briefing
A briefing is more than a block of text. It is short, it shows where each point came from, and it stays with you.
Every point cited
Each point in the briefing links back to the part of the source it came from, so you can check it in one tap.
Saved to your library
Briefings stay in your library. Sort them into collections and come back to them later.
Listen instead
Have any briefing read aloud when you would rather listen than read.
Share or download
Send a link to the short version, or download the briefing as a PDF.
Your language
Read the briefing in 16 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Diagrams when they help
When the source compares things, follows a timeline or explains a process, the briefing can include a simple diagram.
Questions
Which pages work?
Most readable pages work: news articles, blog posts, docs, Wikipedia and long threads. Pages behind a login or a paywall may not work from a link.
Can I summarize right on the page?
Yes. With the Chrome extension, a Summarize button appears on readable pages, so you do not need to copy the link.
How do I check a point?
Each point is cited. With the extension you can click a section of the summary to highlight the exact passage on the page.
Is it free?
Yes, you can start free with no card. The free plan includes 20 summaries a month, of which 3 can be audio or video up to 20 minutes each. Paid plans start at $8 a month billed annually and add more audio and video hours.
