What iBrief is
iBrief is an online article summary tool. Paste a link or use its bookmark tool and it returns a short summary of the page, which helps you decide whether an article deserves a full read. The site also lists summaries of popular articles, browsing by category such as society, technology and business, and platform statistics including weekly article counts and time saved. It describes itself as a community driven platform and says every feature is free with no payment required.

What to watch out for
A summary is not the full text, so nuance, caveats and exact numbers can be lost; open the original before you quote or cite anything. Summary quality varies with article length, page structure and paywalls, and a paywalled page may not summarize well at all. The site says all features are free, but free access and availability can change, so keep a bookmark and do not rely on it as your only reading method. For anything that matters, read the source yourself. For best results, start with a small test file and review the output carefully before working on anything important. Free tiers can change over time, so it is worth checking the current limits on the official page before you rely on the tool daily. If the result is not quite right, try adjusting your input description or settings and run the task again.
