Limitations

Known Limitations

Summarly is a plain-English explanation tool, not a professional advice service. Please read this before relying on any result.

Summarly cannot confirm safety

Summarly cannot confirm whether something is definitely safe or definitely a scam. It may miss convincing scams and occasionally flag genuine messages. Always treat results as a guide, not a final decision.

Not professional advice

Summarly does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax or professional advice. Always verify important information with the relevant organisation or a qualified professional before acting.

Quality depends on input

Results depend on the quality of what is submitted. Blurry images, cropped screenshots or incomplete messages may produce less accurate results. For emails, paste the visible message text rather than the raw source code.

AI limitations

Summarly uses AI to generate explanations. AI can make mistakes, misread context, or produce incomplete analysis. Do not act on a result without independent verification.

Beta service

Summarly is a beta tool. It may be changed, limited or withdrawn at any time without notice. Availability is not guaranteed.

Not for emergencies

Summarly is not intended for emergencies. If you are at immediate risk or need urgent help, contact emergency services — 999 in the UK.
