The reading problem
Are you losing readers before they even start?
Modern visitors want fast answers, not endless scrolling. When content feels long, they skim, miss your key points, and leave before reaching your CTAs.
High bounce rates
Visitors hit a wall of text and leave immediately. The content you worked hard on never actually gets read.
Low engagement
Without quick context, readers scroll past or abandon your most valuable content before they ever engage with it.
How Sumtics helps
One click. A clear, AI-backed summary.
Sumtics adds simple, unobtrusive summary options to your posts. Readers tap once and get a clean TL;DR from the AI model they trust, no copy-pasting into another tab, no friction.
- Automatic AI summaries, every post gets a smart TL;DR with no manual work
- Supports ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI & Perplexity
- Floating button, inline placement, or custom positioning

- Key points are surfaced up front for faster understanding
- Visitors grasp the value before committing to the full read
