> About the summarize feature, how does it works? is it on demand, it summarize when the user click the summarize button? or are other options like allways show a summary of the the topic that is opened by the user?

You can have it either on-demand only, and we also ship a configuration to backfill summaries on the background.

Themes can show the summaries on top of every topic, we have done for some customers.
