FAQ
Questions?

Every key point includes evidence — direct quotes from the source with timestamps or page numbers. This grounds the summary in the actual content and makes it easy to verify.
We process your content to generate summaries but don't store it permanently. Pro users can save summaries to their library, which can be deleted anytime. We never train on your data.
