## Description

SummarAIze is the _secret weapon_ you need. This powerful, yet incredibly easy-to-
use plugin leverages cutting-edge AI from **OpenAI** or **Google Gemini** to automatically
generate concise, engaging summaries (key takeaways) for your posts and pages.

**Here’s how SummarAIze will transform your WordPress site:**

 * **Boost Reader Engagement** – Hook readers instantly with clear, concise summaries
   that highlight your content’s core ideas.
 * **Improve Readability** – Make complex topics easier to digest, increasing time
   on site and lowering bounce rates.
 * **Enhance SEO** – Structured, keyword-rich summaries help search engines understand
   and rank your content more effectively.
 * **Save Time** – Stop manually writing summaries! Let AI handle it while you focus
   on content.
 * **Choose Your AI Powerhouse** – Use OpenAI or Google Gemini — switch anytime.

### Key Features

 * **Dual AI Engines** – OpenAI _or_ Google Gemini support. Toggle in settings with
   your preferred API key.
 * **Automatic Summary Generation** – Generates the top 5 key takeaways for each
   post or page.
 * **Flexible Display Options** – Show summaries above content, below, or in a slick
   popup.
 * **Drag-and-Drop Simplicity** – Easily reorder points with a visual interface.
 * **Customizable Appearance** – Choose list style (ordered/unordered), dark or 
   light mode, and popup styles via shortcode.
 * **SEO Friendly** – Outputs structured HTML for better indexing.
 * **Privacy Conscious** – Sends only content (not personal data) to AI providers
   for processing.

generation. This requires sending your post content to the selected provider’s servers.
