The Powerbeans Text Summaries widget adds AI-generated article overviews to your pages automatically, giving readers an instant snapshot of what an article covers before they commit to reading it in full. Rather than replacing the article, summaries act as a motivational gateway — readers who see a well-crafted overview are significantly more likely to continue into the full piece. The engagement data is clear: 81% of readers find summaries useful, and users who interact with them explore 2× more pages per session compared to those who don’t.
Text Summaries are available from the Scale plan onwards. See plans to compare tiers.

How It Works

1

Embed the Summaries Widget

Paste the Text Summaries snippet into your CMS template. The widget loads asynchronously and renders on every article page automatically.
2

Your Content Is Ingested

Powerbeans sets up a content ingestion on your site, or you push articles directly via the API. No manual uploads needed.
3

AI Summaries Are Generated Automatically

Powerbeans generates a concise, high-quality summary for each article and publishes it through the widget — no editorial input required.

​
Customization

You can tailor Text Summaries to match your site’s look and feel. Adjustable settings include:
  • Colors — align the widget’s visual style with your brand
  • Texts — customize labels, headings, and UI copy
  • Advertising — configure ad placements and formats within the widget

​
Monetization

Text Summaries support display ad formats optimized for performance via a seamless Google MCM setup, with access to 35+ top-tier SSPs. Powerbeans supports both programmatic and direct ad sales, giving you control over how you monetize the additional engagement summaries generate. Learn more in the Monetization overview.

Standards & Compatibility

  • No page slowdown — Loaded asynchronously from a CDN and cached in the browser for 30 days, so it never delays your page render.
  • GDPR-aligned — Analytics and core product behavior run on session data. Consent determines which features run and what, if anything, is stored beyond the session.
  • IAB TCF ready — Works with IAB TCF consent signals from your CMP. Consent determines which ad and content features are active.
