Supply the content

Paste the passage and state who will read the summary. Specify a short overview or a detailed recap.

Choose the emphasis

Ask for the central argument, major themes, and essential evidence. Keep qualifications beside the claims they limit.

Check the compression

Compare each branch with the original. Ask to restore missing context or shorten secondary details.

What is a visual summary?

A visual summary condenses a passage into a small set of connected ideas. Branches separate the main message from supporting details so readers can scan the structure before returning to the full text.

When a quick overview helps

Use one for an article, a chapter, or a collection of notes when the task is understanding the main points. A topic-only prompt produces an overview; a faithful summary needs source text.

Rules for faithful compression

Keep the main claim. The most prominent branch should reflect the source's emphasis.
Preserve qualifications. Words such as may and sometimes can change the meaning.
Distinguish voices. Separate the author's position from quoted opinions.
Cut repetition first. Repeated wording can disappear without removing distinct evidence.
Retain uncertainty. An unanswered question should remain unanswered.

How MyMap organizes the recap

MyMap turns supplied material into an editable visual outline. The example is a remote-work research summary organized around findings, drivers, challenges, recommendations, and methodology; its figures belong to that sample, not to your source.

Choose the right kind of condensation

Executive summary	Centers a leadership decision and supporting evidence.
Document outline	Preserves section order for navigating a long source.
Abstract	Presents a compact prose account of purpose, approach, and findings.
Study questions	Turn the material into retrieval practice.

Common questions

Can I summarize a topic without pasting text?

You can ask for a topic overview. To summarize a particular author or document faithfully, provide the relevant text.

How do I make the summary shorter?

Specify a branch limit, word budget, or audience. Try three main ideas with one sentence of support each.

Will the summary preserve every detail?

Compression removes detail. Name definitions, exceptions, or numbers that must remain, then compare the draft with your source.

How is this different from an executive summary?

This page focuses on condensing ideas. An executive summary organizes evidence around a business decision and a requested next step.
