Using the AI Summarizers

  1. Click AI Summarizers in the left sidebar (or the Summarize file(s) card under Learn & Create on your Home page).

  2. The page has one drop zone: "Upload file(s) or drag & drop it here — PDFs, images, videos, ppts, and audio". Use Upload files to add files from your computer, Drive to add them from Google Drive, Live Record Class to record a lecture, or YouTube to add a YouTube video.

  3. You can also paste a link (Canvas, Google Drive and more) and click Summarize. You can upload up to 30 files at once.

  4. Under Select Output, choose Notes or Flashcards and click Confirm.

  5. Under Enter Settings, pick the Language, structure (for example Outline Format) and Depth of detail, then click Next.

  6. Kai processes the file and creates your note or set. From there you can chat with Kai, make a practice test, start a Knowt Play game, generate a podcast or call Kai.
