Read the structured summary
Get a TL;DR, key points, action items, and a clear signal on whether the article deserves a full read.
Not a paragraph. A real summary.
Most article summarizers compress the opening paragraphs and call it done. Clico is built for scanning. The output is structured around what readers actually need: what the piece says, what matters, what changed, and what to do next.
TL;DR first
One concise answer before the detail.
Key points
Bullet level extraction instead of loose paraphrasing.
Takeaways
Practical implications for research, work, or study.
Made for the long stuff you don't have time to read
Clico works best when the page is too long to skim but too important to ignore.
Research papers
Summarize an arXiv preprint before deciding whether to read it end to end.
Industry reports
Turn market reports into decision ready notes for your team.
Policy pages
Extract rule changes, dates, obligations, and exceptions.
Technical docs
Understand an API page before opening the implementation.
Long essays
Pull the thesis, evidence, and counterpoints into a concise brief.
Pull in other tabs as context with @
Summarizing a research paper? Type @ to pull in the author's previous paper, a Wikipedia entry, or a dataset page. Clico uses those open tabs as context, so the summary can explain references instead of flattening them.
@Previous paper@Dataset README@Method overview
Summarize this article and compare the claim against @Previous paper.
