New: From longform to key takeaways, in seconds. Meet Yoast AI Summarize
Today, we’re excited to welcome Yoast AI Summarize to our growing family of AI features. Just like our other AI tools, this new feature is designed to make your publishing process faster and easier by putting powerful, practical AI right where you work, in the WordPress Block Editor.
Yoast AI Summarize is perfect for bloggers, content teams, agencies, and publishers who want to give readers instant value while also making sure their posts clearly communicate the intended message.
What does Yoast AI Summarize do?
You’ve finished drafting your post, great! But before you hit “Publish,” wouldn’t it be helpful to instantly see the core points your content is actually conveying? That’s exactly what Yoast AI Summarize does.
With one click, you can insert a Key Takeaways block into your content. Yoast AI Summarize scans your post’s main body and creates a short, bullet-point summary, giving your readers a quick, scannable snapshot, and giving you a chance to check if your post is truly saying what you want it to.
How you can access the new feature
Yoast AI Summarize is automatically available to all Yoast SEO Premium customers. Just make sure you’ve updated to the latest version and granted consent to use AI.
Once enabled, simply:
- Open your post in the WordPress Block Editor.
- Add the new block from the “Yoast AI Blocks” section
- Click to generate summary, and watch your Key Takeaways section appear in seconds.
Where you can use Yoast AI Summarize
Right now, Yoast AI Summarize works in the WordPress Block Editor on posts and pages. The block is fully editable, you can change the title, rewrite bullet points, or move it anywhere in your content flow.
Pricing and usage
There are no hidden costs for Yoast AI Summarize, it’s included in Yoast SEO Premium. Like our other AI features, it uses our spark counter to track usage.
- A spark is a single click on an AI feature.
- Generating one summary = one spark.
- Your spark counter resets at the start of each month.
- There’s currently no hard limit, so you can experiment freely.
Limitations
