đź“š Feature Focus: Summarize Content in Logos
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:
- Open any resource in your Logos library.
- Select the section you want summarized.
- Choose Summarize from the Tools tab in the Dynamic Toolbar.
- 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.

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.

That reminder is necessary. AI is a helpful source of possible references. Often. Each source must be validated and evaluated for relevance and validity. I think of it like Google search: scan the list of results to see if anything interesting pops up. Then apply intellect and wisdom to determine if what you found on the internet is reliable.
I believe we need to give people credit for having the ability to understand and use AI this way.
It's like the meme going around about how, a few years ago where people received a car instruction manual with instructions on how to do a valve job. Nowadays, they get a large-print glossy paper with a large red exclamation mark indicating not to drink the battery's contents. I trust that most Logosians are of the former type and not the latter.0 -
It's from Logos. I trust it. Now, for some Koolaid … thirsty!
