TLDR.ai – AI Powered Text Summarizer ✨

A modern AI-powered text summarization tool that effortlessly condenses articles, blogs, research papers, and documents into clear, easy-to-read summaries.

📖 Overview

TLDR.ai is a modern web application that automatically summarizes long-form text content into concise, readable summaries. The application allows users to input text directly or upload documents in various formats (TXT, PDF, DOCX). It leverages the DeepSeek-R1-Zero AI model through the OpenRouter API to generate high-quality summaries efficiently.

The application name "TLDR" stands for "Too Long; Didn't Read" - a common internet acronym that perfectly captures the application's purpose of condensing lengthy content into digestible summaries.
