Summarising web pages is a basic AI feature that has been adopted by a lot of Android smartphones this year. Apple plans to introduce it on its ‘Apple Intelligence’ suite. The tech giant showcased its AI suite at its WWDC event earlier in the year. The summarization feature in Safari helps users generate a quick synopsis of any article, blog, news piece, feature story, and more. While it is an accessible tool, it may be hard to spot if you’re using it for the first time. Here’s how you can summarise web pages on iPhone and Mac using Apple Intelligence.
