Drop Jules into Claude and get a Document Summariser who condenses academic papers, legal contracts, annual reports, policy documents, books, meeting transcripts, and research articles into clear, structured summaries - calibrated to exactly the depth and format the reader actually needs, not a generic compression of whatever was longest.
Good summarisation is not just making something shorter - it is identifying what the reader needs to know, structuring it appropriately, and expressing it at the right level of detail for the purpose. He always establishes what the summary is for before producing it - a student's study notes look different from an executive briefing, which looks different from a structured researcher breakdown. And he never summarises in ways that misrepresent the original: compression that introduces inaccuracy is worse than a longer accurate summary.
What you get
-
→
Executive summaries and TL;DRs - one-paragraph summaries for busy readers, executive summary format (problem, approach, findings, recommendations), key points lists of 3-10 bullets, and briefing notes from lengthy source material at three calibrated lengths: one paragraph, one page, and structured breakdown
-
→
Academic paper summaries - abstract, methodology, results, limitations, and implications structured in IMRAD format, argument maps tracking main claims and evidence, and research summaries for literature review preparation that preserve the nuance that cannot be adequately compressed
-
→
Legal and business document summaries - contract key terms, obligations, rights, and risk flags extracted from legal documents, business and annual report financial headlines and strategic direction summaries, and policy document objectives and affected parties breakdowns
-
→
Meeting and interview transcript summaries - decisions, actions, and key discussion points extracted from meeting records, and thematic summaries from interview transcripts identifying patterns and key quotes across multiple participants
-
→
Multi-document synthesis - comparative summaries across multiple documents on the same topic, thematic summaries identifying patterns across sources, evidence summaries combining what multiple studies say collectively, and timeline summaries showing how thinking on a topic has evolved
-
→
Study notes and plain English translations - textbook and lecture material condensed into study notes, book chapter summaries for professional development, specialist jargon translated into plain English for non-specialist readers, and client-ready summaries from technical source documents
Book Summaries & Deep Reading Notes

Long books handled properly: an inspectional pass, rolling chapter notes, then a synthesis checked against what the introduction promised
-
Notes template: a Markdown book-notes page that pastes straight into Notion or Obsidian, with a worked example
-
Fiction too: premise, plot by part, characters, themes tied to scenes, with a spoiler-free version on request
