No need to pay for the AI text summariser apps

 There are several AI tools that specialise in, amongst other functions, summarizing texts. One example is Quillbot.

To input the text, in addition to pasting it in, you can upload a PDF file of the text. 

the problem is that the free plan of almost all these tools is very mean: it only accepts a very short text. It won't , for example, accept a PDF chapter of a book. 

Just now, i tried a couple of ChatGPT apps: Perplexity, and Deepseek, which accepts a text file that you upload. They can summarise the uploaded text, for free. 

Hence, to me at this stage, there is no need to pay for the text summariser apps.
