What SummarizeBot is
SummarizeBot summarizes links, documents, images, and audio, returning key information such as keywords and key phrases. Users can change summary size and download, save, or share summaries for free. Listed API formats include PDF, DOCX, JPG, MP3, WAV, and XLSX, and a REST API analyzes and extracts information from unstructured text, videos, and images. The chatbot page says it supports almost every language; API documentation also lists language-specific support for audio, images, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and fake news detection. The bot is available through Facebook Messenger and Slack, and can summarize files shared from Google Drive and Dropbox. Only public web links can be summarized, and Messenger or Slack uploads can be up to 10 MB. The free plan is free, with 5,000 requests, up to five API calls per minute, and a 3 MB maximum file size. STANDART is $179 a month. The company says it does not train its AI models on user or client data, including data submitted to free services.
