Gist a chapter, a paper or an article before you decide whether it is worth a slow read.
For the parts of student life that involve running numbers or hitting word limits: grade percentages, due dates, age gaps for group work, BMI for a health class, length checks against an assignment brief, and the formatting the rubric actually penalizes for. None of it leaves your device until you paste the answer in.
No - the source is the paper, article or book the summary was made from, and you cite that. A summary is also lossy: any figure you plan to quote has to be checked against the original first, and many institutions require you to declare that you used an AI tool at all.
No. The text goes to an AI provider for processing, which discloses someone else’s unpublished work without their consent and may breach the terms of the course. Use it on material that is already public and that you are allowed to share.
Split it into sections first, because a submission takes a few thousand characters at a time and a summary of a stacked pile of excerpts loses the structure that made the chapter useful. Read the section summaries, then go back to the parts that matter.
