Ever wish you could quickly distill the main ideas from a dense theological article or Bible dictionary entry? Logos now offers a powerful new Summarize feature that does just that.

With just a few clicks, Logos generates a concise summary of the content you're reading—perfect for reviewing key points, preparing teaching materials, or jumpstarting your study.

Here’s how to use it:

  1. Open any resource in your Logos library.
  2. Select the section you want summarized.
  3. Choose Summarize from the Tools tab in the Dynamic Toolbar.
  4. Logos will generate a quick, AI-powered summary for that section.

This works especially well with longer resources like commentaries, encyclopedias, or journal articles—anywhere you’d benefit from a bird’s-eye view.

How do you see yourself using the Summarize tool in your study or sermon prep?

    I'm using it on monographs to create my own study guide and review questions for textbook type books. Got to keep my skills uptodate.

    Hello, I've tried your steps and can't get through them.

    I know how to open summarize from the tools menu, but I'm intrigued by your suggestion to right-click and choose summarize from the context menu. I don't see an option for summarize.

    I've tried selecting headwords and other parts of the article, but the right-click-context-menu does not show summarize. Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks for your ongoing contributions!

    You are correct in that I poorly worded and was mistaken in my instructions, @Joseph Valentine. I have edited the post above.

    Thanks, Jason! BTW, having the "summarize" option in the context menu would be a wonderful upgrade!

    My struggle is increasing the font size of the summarize pane.
