"The study recorded only how often participants used the tool. It did not examine their grades."
"The authors recommend that future studies include a comparison group and additional outcome measures."
A passage that is found in the source confirms where a point comes from, not that the summary has understood it. Read the paragraph before you rely on the point.

What this tool does not do
It does not research
It works only with the text you submit. It does not add outside facts, find other sources or judge whether the author is right.
It does not replace reading
A summary can leave out something important, and a real passage can be taken out of context. Use the result as a guide into the text, not as a stand-in for it. AI can make mistakes.
Data handling: your text is processed only after payment. It is sent to Anthropic, the provider of the Claude AI model, to create the summary, stored encrypted on our server and deleted together with the result 72 hours after completion. Details in the privacy policy.

No. A match shows where the passage is, not that the summary reads it correctly. A genuine sentence can still be taken out of context, so read the surrounding text before you rely on a key point.
That depends on your university and your instructor. Treat the summary as a reading aid. If you use an idea from the source in your own work, write it in your own words and cite the source. Check your course rules on AI help, and if disclosure is required, the free AI usage statement tool helps you document it.
