Summarize topics and chat channels for a quick recap. Use it in mega topics and large discussions to figure out what’s happening.

 ![Chat channel summarize option](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/7/a/27a117454e67d4e4371cfa4ff5c2956868a537f5.png)

## Features

- Summarize topics from topic map (top and bottom of topic)
- Summarize Chat channels for specific duration of time (up to 7 days)
- Cached summaries in prior generated topics
- Regenerate older summaries
- View summary date and AI model used

## Enabling Summarize

### Prerequisites

You must configure at least _one_ Large Language Model (LLM) from a provider.

To get started you can configure them through the [Discourse AI - Large Language Model (LLM) settings page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-large-language-model-llm-settings-page/319903).

- [OpenAI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-openai-configure-api-keys/280783)
- [Anthropic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-anthropic-configure-api-key/280936)
- [Azure OpenAI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-azure-openai-configure-api-keys/282442)
- AWS Bedrock with Anthropic access
- [Google Gemini](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-api-keys-for-google-gemini/289556)
- [Self-Hosting an OpenSource LLM](https://meta.discourse.org/t/self-hosting-an-opensource-llm-for-discourseai/290923)

### Configuration

1. Go to `Admin` → `Plugins` → `AI` → `Features` and make sure the plugin is enabled (`discourse ai enabled`)
2. Select the AI Agent to use for summarization through `ai summarization agent` (a default Summarizer agent is pre-configured)
3. Checkmark `ai summarization enabled` to enable Summarize
4. Configure which groups of users can generate and view summaries by editing the allowed groups on the Summarizer agent (under `Admin` → `Plugins` → `AI` → `Agents`)
5. (Optional) Enable private message (PM) summaries for specific user groups through `ai pm summarization allowed groups`

## Technical FAQ

**Does Summarize cache results?**

- Summarize does cache results and even makes them available for all users outside of selected user groups.

## Caveats

- Summarize outputs may not be 100% accurate, so make sure to check any output carefully
- LLM calls can be expensive. We recommend enabling Summarize for specific user groups to help control costs
