The secret to summarizing notifications on Android – Computerworld

At this point, I think it’s safe to say the current wave of “AI everything” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: The vast majority of generative-AI gobbledegook is unreliable, impractical, and more about marketing than any manner of real-world benefit for us — the (alleged) humans meant to be benefiting from it. But here and there amidst all the overhyped hullaballoo, a genuinely useful possibility pops up and peeks its way through the metaphorical curtain.

For some folks, that’s absolutely been the case with the AI-powered summarizing options appearing in apps and services across the tech universe these days. One click, tap, or spoken request — and boom: In a matter of moments, your favorite neighborhood AI genie starts summing up mountains of text and distilling endless-seeming info down into a succinct summary for you.
