What it does

The Summarizer bot automatically summarizes news articles written in Spanish or English using a custom algorithm to rank words and sentences.

When to use it

•When you need to quickly understand the content of a long news article without reading the entire piece
•When you want to automate the summarization of news articles for your team or organization
•When you need to analyze large volumes of news articles and identify key points or trends

Ready-to-paste prompt

Submit a news article link to the Reddit community where the bot is active, such as `https://www.example.com/news-article`, and the bot will automatically summarize the article in a comment

Heads up: You need to have a Reddit API account and obtain an API key to use the Summarizer bot, which requires creating a Reddit app and configuring the API credentials in the `config.py` file
