How to summarize a PDF with AI

Jemy is the AI assistant inside JemPDF. Ask for a summary of your PDF, then follow its citations back to the document to check the main points.

Get a summary with page citations

  1. Open the PDF and start Jemy

    Open the document in JemPDF. Click the sparkle button in the reader and open Ask. To focus on one section, select its text before asking your question.

  2. Choose where to process the text

    Cloud mode uses your JemNotebook account and cloud AI allowance. For offline text, prepare a compatible downloadable model or use Apple Intelligence where available.

  3. Ask a specific question and check the sources

    Try “Summarize the main points in five bullets and cite the relevant pages.” Open the citations to check the passages and ask a follow-up about anything the summary leaves unclear.

Which PDFs work with a local model?

Local text models work with selectable text. For a scan made entirely of images, obtain a text version before asking for a local summary.

On iPad and iPhone

Open Jemy from the PDF reader and tap a citation to go back to the page. On iPad, the panel can sit beside the document when there is room. Available local models depend on the device.
