An AI PDF Summariser is a tool that obtains key information from a document. In this instance, when you chat with a PDF, the AI Summariser will use a feature called Generative Summary. This lets it create a document that can outline key headings, section-specific points, and important links. That means you can get the gist of a document in a much faster timeframe.
