Task: Add a "Summarize the core essence" button to long-form articles

Idea

Add a "Summarize the core essence" button to long-form article pages.

Users may not want to read the entire text themselves, but they want to quickly grasp the main idea, arguments, and conclusions. Upon clicking the button, the material is sent to an AI, which returns a concise, to-the-point summary.

Context

The idea stems from observing real user behavior: long texts are increasingly being bypassed for direct reading, sent to AI instead, and queried for content. In such a scenario, AI becomes an intermediary layer between the author and the reader.

For FreeCode, this is a natural AI-native feature: authors can publish full, well-argued pieces, while readers can choose their depth of consumption.

Basic Scenario

1. The user opens a long article.
2. Clicks "Summarize the core essence".
3. The AI analyzes the current material.
4. Returns a compact summary:
   • what the material is about;
   • the main idea;
   • key arguments;
   • main conclusions.
5. The user continues reading the original if necessary or asks clarifying questions.

Important Principle

This is not just an automatic fixed-length summary.

The goal is to reduce reading volume without losing the semantic core. That is, the summary must convey precisely what changes the reader's understanding, rather than mechanically compressing each section.

Potential Development

Later, the feature can be expanded with depth levels:

• "In two sentences";
• "Briefly";
• "Key arguments";
• "What's new here?";
• "What is important for me to know?";
• interactive Q&A based on the material.

However, the first MVP is a single clear "Summarize the core essence" button and a short, high-quality response based on the current material.

Result Criterion

The user should be able to grasp the meaning of a long article in significantly less time and decide whether to read it in full or ask additional questions.
