Step 1 of 5

Go to Hugging Face’s summarizer demo

Open your browser and go to https://huggingface.co/spaces/facebook/bart-large-cnn. You’ll see a clean page with a large text box and a “Generate” button below it. This page is called a “Space” — it’s like a mini web app that runs the summarizer for you.

💬 ExampleJust visit the link above in your browser.
✅ You'll know it worked when

the page loads and you see the big text box ready for you to paste your email.

Step 2 of 5

Paste your email into the text box

Click inside the large text box. A blinking cursor will appear. Press Ctrl+V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+V (Mac) to paste your email text. If you’re on a phone, long-press the box and choose “Paste.” The text will appear in the box, and the word count will update below it.

💬 ExamplePaste this short email:

Hi team, The quarterly budget review meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday at 2pm in Conference Room B. Please bring your department’s updated forecasts and any questions about the new expense policy. If you can’t attend, let me know by Monday 5pm so we can reschedule. Thanks!

✅ You'll know it worked when

you see your email text inside the box and the word count changes from “0 words” to the actual number of words in your email.

Click “Generate” to create the summary

Below the text box, look for a blue button labeled Generate. Click it once. The button will change to “Generating…” and a progress bar may appear. Wait a few seconds — the AI will read your email and write a shorter version.

💬 ExampleClick the blue “Generate” button.
✅ You'll know it worked when

the button changes back to Generate and a new box appears below with your bullet-point list.

Step 4 of 5

Read the bullet-point list in the output box

A new box will appear under the button. It will show your email rewritten as short bullet points. Each point is a key idea from the original email. If the list feels too long or too short, you can edit it directly in the box.

💬 ExampleThe output might look like:
  • Quarterly budget review meeting scheduled for next Tuesday at 2pm in Conference Room B
  • Bring department forecasts and questions about the new expense policy
  • RSVP by Monday 5pm if you can’t attend
✅ You'll know it worked when

you see a clean list of bullet points that capture the main ideas of your email.

Step 5 of 5

Copy the bullet points to use anywhere

Click inside the output box. Press Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+A then Cmd+C (Mac) to select all the text and copy it. If you’re on a phone, long-press the text and choose “Select all,” then “Copy.” Now you can paste the bullet points into a document, chat, or note-taking app.

💬 ExamplePress Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C (or the phone equivalents) to copy the bullet points.
✅ You'll know it worked when

you can paste the bullet points into another app and they appear exactly as you copied them.

⚠️ Common mistakes
  • Pasting too much text: The summarizer works best with emails under 1,000 words. If your email is longer, split it into two parts and summarize each separately.
  • Not clicking Generate: The AI won’t start until you click the button. If nothing happens, double-check you clicked “Generate.”
  • Editing the output too early: Wait until the bullet points appear before you edit them. If you edit while it’s still generating, your changes may be lost.
