Sumtics is the AI summarizer for WordPress that turns long posts into clear, skimmable TL;DR summaries – automatically. 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.

Long articles lose readers. Sumtics 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.

Why Sumtics?

Real AI summaries, generated for you – not just a link out. Sumtics writes an actual TL;DR for each post.
Uses your WordPress AI connector – works natively with the WordPress AI Client (WordPress 7.0+) and providers like Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini) and OpenAI (ChatGPT). Configure once in Settings Connectors.
Zero-cost fallback – a built-in on-server summary engine works even without any AI provider, so you always get a summary.
No code required – set it up in minutes with a clean, modern settings panel.

Three ways to summarize

1. Inline AI Summary (TL;DR box)
Automatically 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 (1–5 sentences), choose your model, or let Sumtics pick a sensible default automatically.

2. External AI Summarize Buttons
Add 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.

3. Floating AI Button (FAB)
A floating “Summarize” button that follows the reader and expands to the AI tools you enable. Position it anywhere on screen.

Privacy & Cost

The inline AI summary uses the AI provider you connect in WordPress (Settings 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.
