Why this is collaborative, not passive
The summary is not just displayed. Students must supply missing terms, get immediate feedback, and replay until retrieval is fast. That makes summary time an active recall session.
AI Summary Generator With Source Highlights
How Summary Quest combines AI-generated fill-in summaries with side-by-side source highlighting so students verify and learn at the same time.

Quick answer
Summary Quest is a collaborative flow: AI drafts the structured summary and blank set, then the student actively fills key terms while checking highlighted evidence in the source pane. It is designed to train recall and accuracy together.
TL;DR
- AI creates summary sentences plus candidate blanks.
- Students complete blanks sequentially with hints, streaks, and replay.
- The source panel highlights relevant quotes in PDF, DOCX, or text fallback views.
How side-by-side evidence helps
As each blank becomes active, the source pane surfaces clue text and highlights relevant source passages. This keeps practice grounded and reduces guesswork from memory alone.
Quality controls behind the scenes
Summary creation runs with retries and coverage checks before save, and source access is resolved through signed/proxy document routes to keep the verification loop smooth.

What source formats can be highlighted?
