The AI model behind this featureuses language understanding, information compression, and natural language generationto deliver a reliable summary for your document. Pichai says this feature“marks a big leap forward for natural language processing.”
As for how you can access the ‘auto summary’ feature, the table of contents that shows up in the left pane on Google Docs includes anew “Summary” sectionat the top. Simply click to expand the “Summary” section and read the TL;DR if you don’t have time to go through the whole text.
Also, the company aims to bring the auto summary feature to Google Chats in the near future. It will be able to read through your chats and deliver highlights of the conversation. You won’t need to skim through hundreds of messages to know what everyone has been discussing in your office group chat. Excited or feel it’s too intrusive? Let us know in the comments below.
