Prompt:
Write a summary for senior marketing leaders of these findings on the persuasive nature of VR and AR video advertisements.
Summary generated by Grammarly:
A conceptual review suggests that virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) video advertisements can persuade consumer attitudes. Incorporating VR and AR technology can help build stronger brands, engage audiences, and provide unique experiences for customers using their mobile devices.
Six research prepositions were identified to facilitate the investigation of consumer attitude persuasion based on the literature. Additionally, variables such as advertisement quality, demographic differences, and the technological context of VR and AR advertisements can facilitate central route persuasion, while source credibility, social presence, and message content in VR and AR advertisements were found to be the persuasion factors under the peripheral route. Overall, the study provides a method to examine consumer attitudes through VR and AR advertisements using the ELM theory.
*This summary came from an article titled “The persuasion effects of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) video advertisements: A conceptual review.”

Prompt:
Write a summary of this article on medieval agricultural systems for an academic audience.
Summary generated by Grammarly:
During the Middle Ages in Europe, from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to around 1500, farming practices, crops, technology, and the agricultural economy and society are discussed in this article. The population of Europe decreased due to epidemics, climatic cooling, and frequent crop failures. Peasant farmers and serfs grew crops for themselves in the feudal system that began around 1000. The most important crops in most European regions were barley and wheat, as well as oats and rye. Oxen and horses were used as draft animals, and sheep were raised for wool and pigs for meat.
The medieval system of agriculture began to break down in the 14th century with the development of more intensive agricultural methods, and after the population losses of the Black Death in 1347–1351, more land was made available to a diminished number of farmers. To summarize, the article provides an overview of the farming practices, crops, technology, and agricultural society and economy of Europe during the Middle Ages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is text summarization?
Text summarization shortens long text without changing its meaning. This allows anyone to understand the original content without actually reading it. Students often summarize text for essays, and professionals sometimes summarize text to turn long reports into a few easy-to-digest paragraphs. Tools like Grammarly’s summarizer, which uses AI technology, can help you create thoughtful summaries in less time.
What are the elements of a summary?
Good summaries all have a few things in common. Here’s what to prioritize, whether writing your own short summary or fine-tuning one after using a summarizing tool:
When done well, a summary gives readers a clear snapshot of the original text without bogging them down with detail. That may sound like a lot to juggle, but Grammarly is here to help. Use Grammarly’s summary maker to create a quality summary in seconds.
