How I Built a Simple AI Text Summarizer in Python
Hey DEV Community ๐
This is my first post here, and I wanted to share how I built a small AI project: a text summarizer that can take a long article and condense it into just a few sentences.
Itโs a simple idea, but surprisingly powerful โ and it was fun to build.
๐ก Why a Text Summarizer?
I often come across long blog posts, research papers, or news articles. Sometimes I just want the gist quickly. Instead of reading everything, I thought: why not let AI do the heavy lifting?
Thatโs how this project started.
๐ Tools & Libraries I Used
- Python 3.10
- Transformers by Hugging Face
- Pre-trained model:
facebook/bart-large-cnn
(works great for summarization)
Install dependencies with:
bash
pip install transformers
