"I was skeptical at first, but PageSum has genuinely cut my daily reading from 3 hours to about 40 minutes. The Key Points mode is my most-used tool now."

"The Q&A feature is the killer — I skim a long policy paper, then just ask the article questions. It feels like magic."

"Six modes sounds gimmicky until you use ELI10 on a dense ML paper. Suddenly I get it. Then I re-read in Detailed mode with context."
