## About

## What it does
Document Summarizer turns a PDF, DOCX, DOC, or ODT file into a plain-text summary. Send either an uploaded file or a direct document URL, and get back a `summary` string in the length you asked for.

Use `summary_length` to control the output size: `short` for about 20 words, `medium` for about 60 words, or `long` for about 100 words. If you need the result in another language, set `output_language` with a BCP-47 language code such as `en`.

This is a good fit when you need to skim reports, contract drafts, meeting notes, or long reference documents before routing them to a person or another workflow. The response stays simple: the summarized text is returned under `data.summary`, so you can store it, display it, or pass it to another step without extra parsing.

Use Document Summarizer when your app needs a compact readout of document content without building your own extraction and summarization pipeline.
