Paperzilla can generate structured AI summaries for papers.

## Generate a summary

1. Open a paper page.
2. Click the summary action.
3. Wait for status to complete.

## Summary statuses

* `queued`: request accepted
* `processing`: summary generation in progress
* `failed`: generation failed, retry is available
* `completed` or `available`: summary is ready

## Summary structure

Summaries can include sections such as:

* ELI5
* Overview
* Research question
* Methodology
* Results
* Limitations
* Takeaway
* Conflicts of interest

## View all summaries for a project

From the project page, open **View summaries** when summaries exist.

## If generation fails

1. Retry from the paper page.
2. Check again later.
3. Confirm you are signed into the right account (see [account and sign-in](/guides/account-and-sign-in)).
