Still has major bugs: Replies just not being sent, saying it replied when it has not etc. I would 3000% pay the $499 for the agency subscription fee in less than the blink of an eye, no one man should have all that power lol, but I need it to work. this is one of those apps that NEEDS to work.

I had the chance to try it out, and here's my personal opinion: it works, and everything runs smoothly. The interface is pretty basic—nothing you haven't seen before in other summarizing tools. But honestly, that doesn't bother me much. What matters is that it does what it promises. However, when you're dealing with a stack of PDFs, having to download them just to get a summary is a bit of a drag. It would be great if you could preview the download first and choose whether to save it or just read the summary. This tool doesn't really stand out from the crowd. The credit system is a major drawback; most top-tier tools don't use it for good reason—it's inefficient for users. Prioritizing user experience is key because if people see value in the service, the money will follow. This tool feels like every other one out there, but less efficient. Making it more cost-effective by introducing subscription plans would be a game-changer. Charging one credit per page is a terrible deal. Something like "$20 a month for X downloads" with fair charges for overages would be better. I'm guessing the target audience is students, and this isn't cost-effective or efficient for us. Plus, there's no customization for how complex or simple you want the summaries—lots of room for improvement. I've tried five other apps like this one, and honestly, they all blur together. This one just doesn't stand out.

I couldn't really use it because it was more of an extension of ChatGPT. It asked for the API key, making it clear it wasn't an independent summarization tool. I feel like I could just go into ChatGPT and do the exact same thing. I'm looking for an independent platform focused on automatically summarizing and note-taking for students, but this seems more like an add-on rather than a standalone solution.

It either doesn't work or it’s stealing your information. Whenever I tried the free preview, it didn't do anything or take me anywhere. I'm thinking it’s just farming information from the PDF. Regardless, it wasn't useful at all. I would avoid purchasing any of the premium plans because it doesn’t look like it’s working at the moment.

This is the first thing you see when you get to the website: "AI Adventures for Kids A series of animated videos and free learning resources that engage kids in thrilling and educational journeys, exploring artificial intelligence concepts." This was extremely weird. The bio says it does one thing, but when you get to the website, it says it does something completely different. It doesn't do anything the bio claims. Instead, it's a learning environment for children that uses coloring books and other tools to help them digest information. It says it's for professionals, but it's not. It shouldn’t be on the website because it's not technically AI and it's not a summarization tool. Every time I clicked on something, it took me to a web store to buy coloring pages. There was no place to insert text. As an AI tool, it's a 0 out of 10. As a children's learning application, I can't really give it a review.

I couldn't use it because it wouldn't let me upload a PDF file, so I can't really review it properly. This tool would work best with audio files. For example, if your teacher gave you an assignment in a PDF file, you wouldn't be able to use it. Until it enables that feature, it's not very useful for students. However, it is useful if you're incorporating audio.

It's your simple run-of-the-mill website summary generator. I didn't see a button where it allowed PDF, so that's a major downside. But all in all, I feel like you could go on any website and get the same thing for free. There are hundreds of websites that do this exact thing for free. I think it's too simplistic. A unique thing is that they do free trials, so it will say that you have 10 free trials left, which I think is really cool. I've never seen that before

It absolutely does not work. I went on the website and tried to generate text, but it only generated the first few sentences. I know that Adrian had brought up that it only did the first 20, but for me, it only did the first two sentences. So, it has been a letdown and a downgrade.

Its better for people who use it one off instead of people who are students because it utilizes the credit system instead of a plan system which would benefit students a lot more than buying credits constantly. Because I'm a student the cons are outweigh the pros so I'm not willing to give it a chance because of that but if you need something that's sort of simple easy quick you're not gonna use it a lot then maybe you should try it but I haven't signed up so...

The website is broken and doesn't work

It left a pretty horrible taste in my mouth only because when I tried to do the free trial it charged my card $50 right away. Even if you refund it that's a pretty horrible business practice because you lose the trust of your consumer. Keep in mind I haven't even seen this program yet and I haven't used it or anything, I don't even know if it works and I'm being forced to put in my card information. It will ask you if you would like to do the free trial and you have absolutely no choice in if you actually want to do the free trial or not. So you're just paying for it up front without even seeing if it's for you or seeing if it works in general... in my book that gets a 0/10 for scummy business practices. I was going to use this for my MA in corporate finance but I don't even know if it would have helped.

Does not allow PDFs

This was a HUGE let down. I wanted this to work more than anybody! I've been searching for exactly this for months and so far it's been fruitless.. When I stumbled across this and it did everything that I needed it to do, it would give you the key points it would make it more comprehensive it would give you as much detail as you wanted and it had a free seven day trial and it was unlimited with no credit system (as long as you purchased the plan). It was like I had created it because it is exactly what I was looking for, after I signed up I started to do my happy dance and then I uploaded a file so I could get the show on the road..... and nothing.... it kept trying to upload and it absolutely would not give me any summary or anything just kept loading and loading and loading.... I could view the file and the file would show up after a while but there would still be no summaries so in essence the program is broken which broke my freaking heart. if this starts working again somebody please reply to this comment and let me know I really have faith in this program and I really wanna use it. I don't want to do this but I have to give it 2 stars for the time being....

What initially scared me away was credits. I hate the credit system. If you're a corporate finance student and you need to summarize hundreds of papers a day (50-100 over pages at a time) then the credit system is not for you. if they had an unlimited plan with a monthly fee or the "crème de la crème" the beloved buy it once then i would buy as an "If all else fail" summary application (personally, I don't care if it costs $100 if I get to keep it for life its worth every penny).

@Paula Vergara I understand where they are coming from, its only available to users in the U.S... The review: HOWEVER if you are in the U.S (I'm not I just happen to have a phone from the US and a US phone number) then its OK I like that they have a lifetime deal where you can purchase it once outright that's always a plus. However the notes that it gives ARE TOO SIMPLISTIC, I use them for PDF lessons (works with PDF) to get a grasp on the lesson before I study it but the notes it spits out are just TOO General, nothing brokrn down or in detail Example (From Slide Notes): - Communication in global business and marketing organizations requires consideration of cultural differences. - Cultural awareness is crucial as various regional, national, and local cultures have different communication preferences and expectations. - Factors to consider in communication dynamics include punctuality, formality, urgency, teamwork dynamics, and negotiation strategies. - Business partners should be understood in terms of their communication styles, punctuality, and preferred communication mediums. If you are just looking for a quick main idea, one and done no in depth study notes this is for you but if you NEED in-depth notes this one is not for you.

0/10 ChatPDF will always be the GOAT, I was looking for a replacement but i keep coming back to chatpdf everytime, although its horrible at answering complex questions.... Its better than nothing...This on the other hand is shite I paid for this junk and it does NOTHING that i need it to do...
