How UD Summarise differs from ChatGPT and Adobe AI summarisation
ChatGPT gives you a text response. Adobe gives you a sidebar note. UD Summarise embeds the summary permanently inside the document as a Clarity Layer you can switch on any time.
ChatGPT / Claude.ai summarisation
Paste your text, get a summary in the chat. The summary lives in the chat history — not in the document. Forward the document to anyone else and the summary is gone.
Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant
Summary appears as a sidebar in Acrobat. Requires Adobe subscription. The summary isn't embedded in the PDF — it's generated on demand from Adobe's servers each time.
UD Summarise — summary embedded as Clarity Layer
The AI-generated summary is written into the .uds document as a Clarity Layer — a structured metadata field that travels with the file. Anyone who opens the document in UD Reader can switch to the summary view.
UD Summarise — audience-specific layers
Different summary types — executive, plain language, patient-facing — can be embedded as separate layers. A clinician reads the clinical summary; a patient reads the plain language version. One document, multiple audiences.
