Turn a long homework chat into a one-page study summary

A homework chat isn't a study guide

Plenty of students learn this way. In a Pew Research Center survey of US teens ages 13 to 17, run in fall 2025, 54% said they had used chatbots to get help with schoolwork.

The trouble comes when you go back to study. A chat records everything in order: the explanation that didn't work, the one that did, your follow-up questions, a tangent. The useful part is in there, but you'd have to read the whole thing again to find it.

What a good study summary keeps

• The topic, in one line.
• The explanation that worked, in the version you understood.
• Key terms and steps, in order.
• The mistakes you made and the correction.
• What's still unclear, so you know what to ask your teacher.

Make it yourself

1. Scroll to the top and write the topic.
2. Copy only the explanation you understood, not every attempt.
3. Write the key steps in your own words.
4. List what's still unclear.

Doing it yourself is good studying in its own right. It's also slow when the chat is long.

The faster way: Summarize, in Uncook

Uncook's Summarize does the first pass. On the ChatGPT page, click the Uncook icon and pick Summarize. You get the topic, what was settled, where it stands and what's still open, without the back-and-forth.

• Summarize — Free on one chat within its own length and daily usage limits. Beyond those limits, the task cost depends on your plan and is shown before you start.
• Several chats on the same subject give you one summary of all of them. That counts as a task.
• Adjust the tone or who it's for, for example "as a study guide for a high school student". Each adjustment runs it again, as a task.

Then export it as PDF, Markdown or text, or print it.

Before you study from it: check it

A summary is only as good as the chat. If ChatGPT got something wrong, the summary can carry it over.

Your class notes are the final judge.

Check each point against your textbook, your notes or what your teacher said in class. If something doesn't match, ask. Uncook summarizes what was said in the chat. It doesn't check whether it's right.

And follow your class's rules on AI. A study summary is for you to learn from, not something to hand in.

Questions people ask

Does it work for chats in Gemini or Claude? Yes. Uncook reads chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Mistral Vibe, Gemini Notebook and Google AI Studio.

Can I combine a week of homework chats? Yes: select them together and get one summary of all of them. That counts as a task.

What does the summary leave out? The back-and-forth: the attempts that didn't work, the tangents, the repeats. It keeps the essentials. Read it, and add back anything it cut too short.
