Question 1

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

You start with 2,500 free words. That's the total length of summaries you can generate, not the articles you paste, just the output Fewwords actually produces. No credit card needed to start.

Question 2

How does the word count work?

Accepted Answer

I only count the summary I generate, not the article or video you paste. A typical article summary runs 80-150 words. So 2,500 free words gets you roughly 15-30 summaries to start.

Question 3

Does it work on YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any YouTube video up to 3 hours. Shorts are skipped, they are too short to summarize meaningfully. Long videos run in the background.

Question 4

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

You can. ChatGPT needs you to open it, copy the content, and write a prompt. Fewwords needs a URL. One step instead of five.

Question 5

What are the different summary formats?

Accepted Answer

The app classifies the content first. Research and essays get a structured summary. Specs and how-tos become a data shot. News becomes a decision brief. You don't pick, it picks.

Question 6

Can I share a summary with someone who doesn't have an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every summary has a public link like fewwords.app/few-XYZ. Anyone can read it. You don't even need an account to create summaries, either.
