Hey folks, I've been digging through tons of research papers lately and was wondering if anyone knows a good free tool that can help summarize these papers without any hassle. Tried a couple but they either cost money or are super complicated to use. Would love some tips or recommendations! Thanks a bunch!

I've been using a few different tools for summarizing stuff and honestly, some are pretty decent for free. It's hit or miss tho, depends on the paper complexity I guess.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools. They have a list of free stuff that’s updated pretty often.
I tried a bunch before settling on one that actually helped without charging. The catch is sometimes the summary is too brief and misses context.
Honestly, google docs has some add-ons that can help summarize texts, might be worth checking out if you use docs a lot already.
