Definition
A summary is text that captures the essential points of a longer source. Summaries can be extractive (pulled directly from the source) or abstractive (rephrased). AI-generated meeting summaries are a common example.

Summary
A summary is a condensed version of longer content — a meeting, a document, a call, a message. Voice-first summaries flip the usual approach: you speak the summary rather than machine-generate it.

Why it matters
Summaries drive decisions when nobody has time for the full detail. Speaking your own summary right after a meeting or a call captures the human judgement that a generic AI summary often misses.
How this relates to Zahvox
Zahvox is not a meeting-summary tool. But it's an excellent surface for speaking your own summary right after a call — the parts an AI summary would probably miss.
Status: General industry concept, not tied to a specific Zahvox release.
Example
After a call, you speak: "Client wants option B, price stays, delivery moves to March 15. I need to confirm with Priya on legal." That's 15 seconds and a real decision-ready summary.
