▬▬▬▬ Video Transcript ▬▬▬▬

Hi, this is Matt, and this is a quick video on how to use ChatGPT to summarize an article. I’m here in ChatGPT, and for this task, we’ll be using GPT-4.0, which works best for summarizing detailed or complex content.

So, let’s say you have a technical or lengthy article—like this WordPress speed optimization post from Cloudways. It’s quite detailed, maybe too long to read fully, and you just want the main points. Here’s what we’ll do: copy the text from the blog post (avoiding comments at the bottom to keep it clean) by selecting everything, and then going back to ChatGPT.

Next, type a prompt like “Can you summarize this article? Give me the key points and make it understandable.” You could even say something like “explain like I’m five” for simpler explanations or tailor it based on your needs. After pasting the text into ChatGPT, just hit send.

Now, ChatGPT provides a neat, concise summary. It’s broken down into easy-to-read points, covering all the essential information without the full detail of the original. For example, in our Cloudways article, ChatGPT skipped the technical details and images but captured key steps and benefits of WordPress optimization. This summary method is super helpful for getting a quick, readable overview of lengthy or technical articles.

So, that’s it! A simple, effective way to use ChatGPT for summarizing articles, whether for quick insight or easy reference. Hope you found this helpful—give it a try!
