Overview
AnySummary is a web-based AI summarization tool that converts text, audio, and video files into concise, customizable summaries. The site advertises support for .mp3, .mp4, .txt, .wav, .csv, .m4a and also references PDFs, Word documents, and presentations. The homepage lists a 100 MB maximum file size and an option to summarize content from a URL. Users can choose summary length (short / standard / detailed), output format (bullet lists, executive paragraph, hybrid), or provide custom instructions via a "Custom" tab. Exported outputs are pitched for briefs, study notes, meeting prep, and similar use cases. The site also mentions advanced/premium capabilities such as advanced keyword extraction, sentiment cues, and multi-document comparison (described as advanced/premium on the site). Privacy and data handling are documented in the privacy policy: uploaded documents are used only to generate summaries and are deleted from servers within 24 hours, while non-identifiable data may be retained for analytics; cookies (persistent and session) are used for authentication, preferences, and analytics; personal and usage data (email, name, IP, browser, page visits) are collected for account management, analytics, communications, and marketing if not opted out. The privacy policy contact email is [email protected] (privacy policy last updated 2023-03-26). During this extraction, the home and privacy pages were accessible but several ancillary pages referenced in navigation (FAQ, Contact, Examples) returned 404 or could not be retrieved; the pricing page existed but contained no extractable pricing plans and no free-trial indicator was found. Because multiple nav pages return 404 and pricing details were not discoverable, some content may be under update or delivered dynamically and was not captured by the extractor.
