> text summarization are examples of NLP in real-world products

Can someone point me to a satisfying demo of a professional text summarization software?

The autotldr bot on reddit gets a lot of praise:

Worth mentioning here, the text summarization engines are pretty much only usable on news articles or text with clean paragraph structure (yes, non-tech literature works too). Popular text summarization tools as they stand now, fails on anything else.

I actually disagree with both of you. SMMRY/AutoTLDR does an acceptable job when pasting URLs of the latest news, but its not something I would actually want to consume. More of a showcase that summarization AI has made some huge progress in recent years, but its still not at a point where I'd pay for it, as a service.
