## Beschreibung

**Pointwise Summary** helps your readers get to the point — fast. It adds one-click
TL;DR summary buttons to any post or page, powered by six leading AI models: ChatGPT,
Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, and Google AI.

Modern readers scan before they commit. Give them a reason to stay.

When a visitor clicks a summary button, Pointwise Summary sends your post content
to the AI model of your choice and returns a concise, readable summary — whether
that’s a short TL;DR, a list of key points, or a detailed overview. You control 
the style, length, placement, and prompt.

#### What is TL;DR and Why It Matters

**TL;DR** („Too Long; Didn’t Read“) is a popular internet acronym that originated
in online forums and Usenet newsgroups in the early 2000s. It was added to the Oxford
English Dictionary in 2013 and now serves two purposes:

 1. **As a response** — Acknowledging that content is too lengthy to read in full
 2. **As a label** — Introducing a concise summary of the main points

In today’s fast-paced digital world, readers scan before committing time to a full
article. Adding TL;DR summaries helps readers quickly identify whether your content
is worth their time — and keeps them on the page longer when it is.

**Why TL;DR buttons improve your website:**

 * **Combat information overload** — Help readers grasp key points in seconds
 * **Respect reader time** — Modern audiences appreciate quick content previews
 * **Reduce bounce rates** — Engage visitors who might otherwise leave without reading
 * **Improve accessibility** — Make lengthy content more navigable and user-friendly
 * **Increase engagement** — Summaries encourage readers to explore the full content
 * **Boost SEO** — Better engagement metrics (lower bounce, higher time-on-page)
   signal quality to search engines

#### What is Pointwise Summary?

Pointwise Summary is a WordPress summarization plugin that combines three essential
capabilities:

 1. **AI-powered text summarization** — Generate TL;DR summaries and key points using
    six leading AI models
 2. **Smart display options** — A floating action button (FAB), or automatic inline
    insertion
 3. **Complete customization** — Place summary buttons anywhere, customize their appearance,
    and control every aspect of behavior

In the age of information overload, readers scan content before committing time.
This plugin helps visitors quickly understand whether your content is worth their
time, improving engagement and reducing bounce rates.

**Coming soon: Chrome Built-in AI (Gemini Nano)** — On-device summarization with

#### Social Sharing

Pointwise Summary includes built-in social sharing that places share buttons directly
alongside your AI summary buttons — no separate sharing plugin needed.

Readers can share your post or article to any of 7 supported networks with a single
click, right from the same button row they use to generate summaries.

**Supported networks:**

 * X / Twitter — with optional @mention tag for your account
 * Facebook
 * LinkedIn
 * Telegram
 * WhatsApp
 * Reddit
 * Email

**How it works:**

 * Enable social sharing from **Display Settings  Social Sharing**
 * Toggle each network on or off individually — only show the platforms relevant
   to your audience
 * Share buttons appear in the same row as your AI summary buttons, keeping the 
   interface clean and unified
 * X / Twitter supports an optional mention field so shares can automatically tag
   your account

**Why it matters:**

When readers find your content useful, sharing is the natural next step. Having 
share buttons immediately available — in the same place as the summary — removes
friction and increases the likelihood of your content being shared across social
platforms.

#### Perfect Use Cases

 * **Long-form blog posts** — Add summary buttons to lengthy articles so readers
   can preview content before committing to the full read
 * **Research papers and academic content** — Provide TL;DR access to key findings
   for students and researchers
 * **Technical documentation** — Help developers navigate documentation quickly 
   with instant summaries
 * **News websites and journalism** — Offer article summaries before the full story
   for time-pressed readers
 * **Educational content and e-learning** — Give students quick access to lesson
   summaries and key points
 * **Business reports and whitepapers** — Executive summary buttons for detailed
   reports and long-form business content
 * **Content-heavy websites** — Improve content consumption, user engagement, and
   reduce bounce rates

**Who benefits from this plugin:**

 * Bloggers who write long-form content
 * News sites with lengthy articles
 * Students who need quick summaries
 * Researchers analyzing papers
 * Content marketers improving engagement
 * Educators creating accessible lessons
 * Business professionals sharing reports

#### How It Works

 1. Install and activate Pointwise Summary
 2. Go to **AI Summary (TL;DR)  AI Settings** and configure your preferred AI model
    and API key
 3. Customize button text under **Advanced Settings** (e.g., „Summarize“, „Get TL;DR“,„
    Quick Summary“)
 4. Choose a visual style under **Display Settings  Style**
 5. Set your placement under **Display Settings  Automatic Insertion** (before title,
    after title, before content, after content)
 6. Save changes and view your posts to see the summary buttons in action

When a reader clicks the button, the post content is sent to the selected AI model,
which returns a clean summary displayed directly on the page — no page reload required.

### Usage

#### Basic Setup

 1. Go to **AI Summary (TL;DR)  AI Settings** to configure your AI model and API key
 2. Go to **AI Summary (TL;DR)  Display Settings** to customize button appearance and
    placement
 3. Save changes and view your posts to see the summary buttons in action

#### Pro Tips

**For blog posts:**

 * Place summary buttons at the top of long articles
 * Use button text like „Don’t have time? Get the TL;DR “
 * Link to a summary section anchored at the bottom of the post

**For documentation:**

 * Add „Quick Start“ and „Full Guide“ buttons side by side
 * Use contrasting colors to make the summary option stand out
 * Try vertical button stacks in sidebars for easier scanning

**For maximum engagement:**

 * Use action-oriented labels: „Summarize This“, „Get Key Points“, „Show TL;DR“
 * Add emoji for visual cues: „⚡ Quick Read“ or „📝 Full Article“
 * Test different button positions to find what works best for your audience

## FAQ

### What does TL;DR mean and why do I need it?

TL;DR stands for „Too Long; Didn’t Read.“ It originated in internet forums and was
officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013. Adding TL;DR buttons 
helps readers decide if your content is relevant to them, reducing bounce rates 
and improving user experience.

### How does Pointwise Summary work?

When a reader clicks a summary button, the plugin sends your post content to the
selected AI model’s API and returns a formatted summary — TL;DR, key points, or 
a detailed overview — displayed directly on the page. You can customize the prompt,
length, and style for each model.

### Does this plugin actually summarize content with AI?

Yes. The plugin integrates with six AI models for real-time summarization. The upcoming
Chrome Built-in AI (Gemini Nano) option will also support privacy-friendly on-device
summarization — no API key or cloud processing required.

### Do I need an API key to use this plugin?

Most AI models require an API key, which you enter in the plugin’s AI Settings screen.
The upcoming Chrome Built-in AI (Gemini Nano) option will work entirely on-device
with no API key required.

### Can I use this plugin without API keys?

Yes — once the Chrome Built-in AI (Gemini Nano) integration is released, you will
be able to summarize content on-device with no API keys, no costs, and no data leaving
your browser. This is ideal for privacy-conscious users.

### Which AI model should I use?

It depends on your content type. Claude and ChatGPT work well for detailed or technical
content. Gemini is reliable for general articles. Grok suits news and timely topics.
Perplexity is ideal when source citations matter. You can configure multiple models
and let readers choose.

### What is the difference between this plugin and Grammarly or QuillBot?

Grammarly and QuillBot are external subscription tools. Pointwise Summary is a native
WordPress plugin that offers six AI models, auto-insertion, a floating action button,
and on-device summarization via Gemini Nano — features those tools do not offer 
within WordPress.

### How is this different from TLDR This or DeCopy.ai?

TLDR This and DeCopy.ai are web-based summarizers with usage limits and costs. Pointwise
Summary integrates directly into your WordPress site, supports six AI models, works
with shortcodes, and will support offline on-device summarization through Gemini
Nano.

### Can I customize the button text and appearance?

Yes, fully. You can set any button label („Summarize“, „Get TL;DR“, „Quick Summary“,
etc.), choose from five visual styles, and customize colors, gradients, borders,
spacing, and hover effects to match your theme.

### Where can I place the summary buttons?

Buttons can be inserted automatically before or after the post title or content.
You can also use enable the floating action button that stays visible as readers
scroll. Shortcode support is coming in a future release.

### Will this plugin slow down my site?

No. The plugin uses lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript and CSS. Summary generation
only happens when a reader clicks a button — nothing loads on page render that would
affect performance.

### Is the plugin accessible?

Yes. Pointwise Summary follows WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards with full keyboard navigation,
ARIA labels, semantic HTML, and clear focus indicators.

### Does it work with my theme?

Yes. The plugin uses native WordPress Gutenberg components and follows WordPress
coding standards. It is compatible with all properly built themes, including Full
Site Editing (FSE) themes.

### Is it mobile-friendly?

Yes. All buttons and layouts are fully responsive and adapt automatically to phone,
tablet, and desktop screen sizes.

### Can I translate the button text?

Yes. All button text is fully customizable and supports WordPress translation functions.
The plugin is translation-ready for multi-language websites, with summarization 
support for 50+ languages.

### Does the plugin include social sharing?

Yes. Pointwise Summary has built-in social sharing with support for 7 networks: 
X / Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram, WhatsApp, Reddit, and Email. Share buttons
appear alongside your AI summary buttons in the same row. You can enable or disable
each network individually from Display Settings, and X / Twitter supports an optional
@mention so shares can tag your account automatically.

### What is the Floating Action Button?

The Floating Action Button (FAB) is a persistent button fixed to a corner of the
screen that stays visible as the reader scrolls. It provides access to the summary
at any point during reading, without requiring the user to scroll back to the button’s
original position.
