AI-powered summaries help you understand articles more quickly. You can generate either a summary of key takeaways or a simplified explanation of the article's content. You can use this feature on the browser version of your platform and in the mobile app.
To use AVA Blog and Wiki Summary, the feature needs to be enabled for your platform.
Where you can generate summaries
You can generate AI-powered summaries in:
- Timeline shares of blog articles
- Blog article detail views, while reading an article
- Blog app overviews, while viewing the list of articles
Options: Summarize and Explain
- Summarize (TL;DR): Generates a concise summary of the article's most important takeaways as bullet points. Use it to quickly understand the key messages and decide whether to read the full article.
- Explain (ELI5): Rewrites the article in plain language to make complex topics easier to understand. It simplifies concepts and terminology while staying true to the original content.
Generate a summary or explanation
- Find an article.
- Select Simplify.
- Select the Summarize or Explain tabs to switch between the summary options.

Good to know
- The summary or explanation is generated in the language of the article you're viewing.
- On pages/communities with multi-language enabled, the selected article language is used. On pages/communities without multi-language, the content language is detected automatically.
- If you use automatic translation, the generated result is translated together with the article content.
- Summaries and explanations are generated only from text-based content, such as paragraphs, lists, and quotes. Images, videos, files, and forms aren't included.
- If an article doesn't contain enough text, a summary or explanation can't be generated.
