Why AskSia
The Word summarizer built for student docs.
Most summarizers ignore Word's structure (headings, comments, tracked changes). AskSia reads it all and cites every claim to the exact paragraph.
Google Docs links work too
Paste any public Google Docs link and AskSia reads the document directly. Useful for shared class materials, study group docs, and collaborative essay drafts.
Google Docs ready
Cited to the exact paragraph
Every line of the summary carries a [N] marker. Hover to see the exact paragraph highlighted in the source document. Click to jump into the doc at that paragraph for direct quoting.
Paragraph-level citations
100 Word docs in one session
Drop a full bundle of Word documents (lecture notes, essay drafts, professor handouts, study guide drafts) into one session. AskSia chats with all of them in one conversation.
100 docs at once
Mix with PDFs, slides, and more
Word documents work alongside PDF textbooks, PPTX slides, and Markdown notes in the same session. Mixed-format study packs by default, no conversion needed.
Mixed-format sessions
From Word to study pack
One click turns the Word document summary into definition flashcards, a concept-check quiz, a study guide, or a visual concept map, all traceable back to the source paragraph.
Flashcards, quizzes, maps
