We're all drowning in a sea of information. From lengthy business reports and crucial research papers to endless email threads and customer feedback, the volume of text we need to process is overwhelming. How do you find the signal in the noise without spending all day just reading?
The answer lies in automation. Welcome to summarize.do, an AI-powered text summarization API that acts as your personal content distillation engine. Our service uses a powerful AI agent to instantly transform long-form text into concise, actionable insights.
This guide will show you just how easy it is to get started. In less than 5 minutes, you'll go from information overload to key takeaways with a single API call.
summarize.do is more than just a simple endpoint; it's Summarize-as-a-Service built on an advanced AI Agentic Workflow platform.
Instead of relying on rigid, scripted processes, we use autonomous AI agents that employ sophisticated natural language processing (NLP). These agents are designed to reason about the text you provide. They analyze the content, identify the core concepts and key arguments, and then generate a new, condensed version that captures the essence of the original.
This intelligent approach to content distillation ensures you get fast, accurate, and contextually relevant summaries every time.
Ready to see it in action? Let's make our first API call. All you need is the @do/sdk package.
First, open your terminal and install our Node.js SDK using your favorite package manager.
npm install @do/sdk
Now, create a new TypeScript or JavaScript file and paste in the following code. This example shows how to summarize a block of text about agentic workflows.
import { dot } from '@do/sdk';
// The text you want to summarize.
// This can be an article, report, transcript, or any other document.
const longText = `
Agentic workflow platforms represent a paradigm shift in automation.
Unlike traditional robotic process automation (RPA) which relies on brittle,
scripted tasks, agentic systems use autonomous AI agents to reason, plan,
and execute complex business processes. They can understand ambiguous
instructions, adapt to changing environments, and even collaborate with
human teams. This enables businesses to automate not just simple tasks,
but entire value streams, delivering services-as-software through
simple, programmable interfaces like APIs and SDKs.

// Making the API call to get an AI summary.
const summary = await dot.summarize({
text: longText,
format: 'bullet-points', // You can also choose 'paragraph'
length: 'concise' // Or 'short', 'medium', 'detailed'
});
console.log(summary);
Let's quickly break down the dot.summarize() call:
When you execute the code, the summarize.do API will analyze the text and return a perfectly condensed version. The output for our example would look something like this:
[
"Agentic workflow platforms are a significant evolution in automation, using autonomous AI agents instead of rigid, scripted tasks.",
"These advanced systems can understand complex instructions, adapt to dynamic environments, and collaborate with human teams.",
"They enable the automation of entire business processes, delivering them as software services through simple APIs and SDKs."
]
Just like that, you've transformed a dense paragraph into three clear, essential takeaways.
Automating text summarization isn't just a novelty; it's a powerful tool for efficiency and intelligence.
You've seen how simple it is to harness the power of AI-driven text summarization. In just a few lines of code, you can build workflows that conquer information overload and surface the insights that truly matter.
