# User Manual Summarizer

Nobody reads a 120-page manual. Upload it and get a quick-start guide — setup steps, the functions you'll actually use, maintenance, troubleshooting and every safety warning — then ask it your specific question.

## Key facts

- Output: what the product is for → numbered setup steps → main functions → maintenance → troubleshooting → safety warnings.
- Safety warnings are always kept in the summary.
- Ask “How do I reset it to factory settings?” or “What does error E4 mean?” — with the page.
- Works for appliances, electronics, vehicles, machines, software and installation guides.
- Multilingual manuals: get the summary in your language.

## What the summary covers

- **Purpose** — what the product does and the model it covers.
- **Setup / first steps** as a numbered list.
- **Main functions** and how to use them.
- **Maintenance** — cleaning, consumables, intervals.
- **Troubleshooting** — common problems, error codes and fixes.
- **Safety warnings** — always included, never shortened away.

## How to get a quick-start from a manual

1. **Find the manual PDF** — On the manufacturer's support page, usually under “Downloads” or “Documentation”.
2. **Upload it here** — Keep “User manual” selected; bullet points are preselected.
3. **Read the quick-start** — Setup steps come first, with page references to the diagrams.
4. **Ask your question** — Error codes, settings, reset procedures, compatible accessories.

## Tips

- **Multilingual manuals** often repeat the same content in 10 languages. Upload the pages in your language only (use a PDF splitter), or keep the full PDF and choose your output language.
- **Diagrams are not read** — the summary points you to the page where the diagram is.
- **Error codes** are often in a table near the end: ask “List all error codes and their meaning”.

> **Stuck with a device?** — Upload its manual and ask your question directly.

## FAQ

### Can I ask about a specific error code?

Yes. Use the Ask questions tab: “What does error E21 mean and how do I fix it?”. The answer cites the page of the troubleshooting table.

### What about manuals in another language?

Choose your output language — a manual written in German or Japanese can be summarized in English or any of 20 languages.

### Does it replace the manual?

No. Use the summary to find things fast, and follow the manual's instructions and warnings exactly, especially for installation and safety.

### Can it summarize software documentation?

Yes. Any documentation exported as PDF works. Ask for setup steps, configuration options or command examples.
