If you’re like me, you probably spend a lot of time reading articles on your phone. But often the point you’re trying to get to can be buried in paragraphs.
What if you just want to go straight there? Luckily, your Android phone can now do this for you thanks to AI.
There is a new AI-powered feature on some Samsung smartphones that can summarize articles on your behalf. It can give you a brief or detailed summary of everything you were going to read. But how does it work and on which devices does it work? Here’s everything you need to know.
What is Samsung’s Galaxy AI Summarize feature?
Tucked into the Samsung Internet Browser, the Galaxy AI Summarize feature can help you navigate the sea of information online. Using advanced AI, it can break down articles into manageable summaries. Want a translation? It will take care of that too, converting your summary into a variety of languages.
You can choose from a brief or more detailed summary of a particular article. The idea is to give you the essentials in a digestible extract, so you don’t have to read the entire article.
How to Use Galaxy AI Summary
- Chrome loyalists might complain, but this gem is exclusive to Samsung’s browser. Turn on Samsung Internet and view any article that caught your eye.
- Locate it Galaxy AI (the star icon) right in the middle of the toolbar at the bottom of your screen. Tap on it and choose between To summarize And Translate.
- If this is your first time using the feature, you will see a pop-up explaining how the features work. You’ll want to press All right then choose To summarize. The AI will then work its magic and create a summarized excerpt of the article.
- Want a little more detail? Opt for one Detailed summary. Are you more of a picky person? THE Standard the option is your friend. Once your summary appears, tap Copy to take it wherever you want.
