Convert Long Articles into Key Points | Rune

Sometimes you don't need a prose summary—you need the key points. Bulleted takeaways are easier to scan, remember, and reference later. Rune's AI Summarizer can convert any long article into a concise list of essential points.

Why Key Points Work Better

Faster Scanning

Bulleted lists allow your eyes to jump from point to point, scanning content in seconds rather than minutes.

Better Retention

Isolated key points are easier to remember than information buried in paragraphs.

Easy Reference

When you need to recall information later, a bullet list is instantly accessible.

Perfect for Notes

Key points integrate seamlessly into your existing note-taking system.

How Key Points Extraction Works

1. Paste your article into Rune's AI Summarizer.
2. Enable Key Points in the settings.
3. Generate the summary.
4. Receive both a prose summary AND a bulleted key points list.
