Summarizer

Your clarity engine. The Summarizer Agent transforms any long or messy input into a polished, purpose-driven summary. It adapts to length, audience, and voice — delivering digestible recaps that are structurally precise and editorially natural.

1. Core Purpose

What It Does

This Agent condenses source material into short, medium, or long summaries while maintaining clarity and flow. It adapts tone and structure based on your selected purpose: internal briefing, public recap, SEO meta description, or social media post.

Why It Matters

Readers rarely have time for every word of an article, transcript, or report. A good summary makes content useful — quickly. This Agent ensures summaries are not just compressed but adapted for context: SEO-friendly when needed, social-friendly when required, or briefing-ready for internal teams.

When to Use It

Perfect for:

Summarizing long reports, articles, or transcripts into concise briefs
Writing SEO-ready descriptions under 160 characters
Creating post-length summaries for newsletters or social media
Giving executives clear, fast internal updates
Extracting clarity from messy or unstructured content

When Not to Use It

Avoid using this Agent:

If you want creative rewrites or listicle-style repurposing (use Listicle Generator)
For writing full-length blog posts (use Blog Post Generator)
If your input text is under 50 words (the Agent will fail-safe with an error)
