You can use AI content summarizers to shorten your college essays and coursework, as you can for most text formats. Some of the tools on our list, like Quillbot, were designed with this use case in mind. It’s important that you check the quality of the summarizations yourself to ensure it’s maintained the intended meaning and hasn’t introduced anything inaccurate. Also bear in mind that if you’re looking to submit academic work you’ve summarize using AI, the original work must be your own (not created from scratch with AI and not plagiarised) and it may need your human intervention to ensure it’s in the right tone and style for your course, especially if it’s a creative subject.
