AI summary for Files

When uploading files through the Weka editor, users can generate a summary of the file contents using the AI summary files feature. The generated summary is then displayed on the file card.

Benefits:

  • Helps learners understand whether a file is relevant before opening it.

  • Reduces time for content creators by automatically producing useful summaries.

  • Makes large files feel more approachable.

The AI Summary for Files feature allows content creators to automatically generate a short description when uploading a file using the Weka content editor. This feature is available wherever the Weka editor is used across Totara, making it easy to enrich your resources with helpful summaries.

The generated summary appears directly on the file card visible to learners—giving them a clear, concise overview of what the file contains before they choose to open or download it.
