Summaries and translation

Summarise a thread, extract tasks and dates, and translate a message with Sipher AI.

Use these tools on a message or thread you have opened.

Summarise a thread#

  1. Open the thread.
  2. On web, click AI Summary. On iPhone and Android, tap Summarize.
  3. Read the short bullet summary.

On web the summary panel has Regenerate, which asks for a fresh summary after new replies arrive, and a close button. A summary you already generated may be shown again until you regenerate it.

You can also ask Sipher AI to Summarize this thread in chat.
