Sumtics<\/a> is the AI summarizer for WordPress that turns long posts into clear, skimmable TL;DR summaries - automatically.<\/strong> It generates a real AI summary for every article using your WordPress AI connector, and adds one-click buttons that let readers summarize your content with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Google AI, or Perplexity.<\/p>\n\n Long articles lose readers. Sumtics<\/strong> gives visitors the gist in seconds, boosts time-on-page and engagement, and helps your content stay readable in an AI-first world - including AI Overviews and answer engines that reward clear, summarizable content.<\/p>\n\n Sumtics homepage<\/a> \u00b7 Read the documentation<\/a> \u00b7 Get support<\/a><\/p>\n\n 1. Inline AI Summary (TL;DR box)<\/strong>\nAutomatically generate a concise TL;DR for each post when it is published or updated, then display it inline above or below your content in a clean, collapsible box. Powered by the built-in WordPress AI connector, with an on-server extractive fallback. Set the length (1\u20135 sentences), choose your model, or let Sumtics pick a sensible default automatically.<\/p>\n\n 2. External AI Summarize Buttons<\/strong>\nAdd one-click buttons that open the reader's favorite AI assistant - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Google AI or Perplexity - pre-filled with a smart summarize prompt for your article. Great for engagement and AI-driven discovery.<\/p>\n\n 3. Floating AI Button (FAB)<\/strong>\nA floating \"Summarize\" button that follows the reader and expands to the AI tools you enable. Position it anywhere on screen.<\/p>\n\n Blogs, news and magazine sites, documentation, knowledge bases, online courses and any content-heavy website where readers want a fast TL;DR - and where you want your content optimized for SEO, AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization).<\/p>\n\n The inline AI summary uses the AI provider you connect in WordPress (Settings \u2192 Connectors); summary generation happens through that provider. The on-server extractive engine runs entirely on your site and never sends content to a third party. The external summarize buttons simply open the reader's chosen AI tool in a new tab - no API key required.<\/p>\n\n\n Sumtics is an AI summarizer for WordPress. It automatically generates a TL;DR summary for each post and displays it inline, and it adds one-click buttons so readers can summarize your content with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Google AI or Perplexity.<\/p><\/dd>\n Inline summaries are generated through the built-in WordPress AI Client (WordPress 7.0+) using the provider you connect under Settings \u2192 Connectors - such as Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini) or OpenAI (ChatGPT). If AI is unavailable, Sumtics can fall back to a built-in on-server summarizer.<\/p><\/dd>\n For the inline AI summary you connect a provider once in Settings \u2192 Connectors. For the external summarize buttons you do not need any API key - they open the reader's chosen AI tool with a ready-made prompt. The on-server (basic) summary engine needs no key at all.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Choose the \"Basic\" engine (or enable the fallback) and Sumtics will build summaries on your server with no external API calls - free and private.<\/p><\/dd>\n Automatically when a post is published or updated. They are cached in the post so the front end loads fast. You can also click \"Regenerate now\" in the editor, or bulk-generate summaries for all existing posts from the settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. You can target posts, pages and any custom post type for both the inline summary and the summarize buttons.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Open the post editor, edit the summary in the Sumtics box, and your version is kept - automatic regeneration will not overwrite manual edits.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The inline TL;DR box uses a transparent, theme-adaptive design, so it inherits your theme's colors and looks good in light and dark themes.<\/p><\/dd>\n Clear, structured summaries make content easier to scan for readers and easier to understand for search engines, AI Overviews and answer\/generative engines. Better skimmability typically improves engagement signals too.<\/p><\/dd>\n ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI), Perplexity and Google AI Mode.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes.
