This week I had the privilege of testing out Summari’s artificial intelligence tool for drafting newsletters.

Summari is already a great tool for getting summaries of articles you are not sure you want to read.

The information flow today is like 20 firehoses tied together. I’m sure most of the people reading this have a long list of articles they want to read, but never will… and that is probably okay most of the time. But what if you miss out on the one hidden gem that changes your life forever? FOMO on the rise!

Summari allows you to get a summary of any article before committing to a full read. If that’s enough, you move on. If you want more, go read the entire article.

Summari is looking at including a newsletter function in its business plan, allow business and creators to easily summarize key articles for their newsletter. Still in private beta, I had time to test it out this week.

Here is how it went.

Collating relevant articles

Since this is an experiment, I simply looked around for articles about Ai in higher education, a topic I’m interested in, and added them to Summari with their browser plug-in.
