Summarization](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai/summarization).[1](#fn:1) > \[!WARNING\] The ML Kit GenAI APIs are currently in **beta**. The API surface and behavior may change in future releases. [ ![Deliver Live Updates to your Capacitor app with Capawesome Cloud](../../../../assets/external/cloud.capawesome.io/assets/banners/cloud-build-and-deploy-capacitor-apps.69628c3f.png) ](https://cloud.capawesome.io/) ## Use Cases[ΒΆ](#use-cases "Permanent link") The GenAI Summarization plugin is typically used to summarize text on-device using Gemini Nano, for example: * **Article summaries**: Give users a quick overview of long articles or documents in one to three bullet points. * **Chat recaps**: Summarize long chat conversations so users can catch up at a glance. * **Note-taking**: Condense meeting notes or transcripts into their key points. ## Requirements[ΒΆ](#requirements "Permanent link") This plugin uses [Gemini Nano](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai), which runs entirely on-device. It is only available on Android and has the following device requirements: * The device must support Gemini Nano (see [supported devices](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai#supported%5Fdevices)). * The device must run Android API level 26 or higher. * The device must not have an unlocked bootloader. Use the `checkFeatureStatus(...)` method to check whether the feature is available on the device. ## Compatibility[ΒΆ](#compatibility "Permanent link") | Plugin Version | Capacitor Version | Status | | -------------- | ----------------- | -------------- | | 8.x.x | \>=8.x.x | Active support | ## Installation[ΒΆ](#installation "Permanent link") You can use our **AI-Assisted Setup** to install the plugin. Add the [Capawesome Skills](https://github.com/capawesome-team/skills) to your AI tool using the following command: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)npx skills add capawesome-team/skills --skill capacitor-plugins ` Then use the following prompt: `` [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-1)Use the `capacitor-plugins` skill from `capawesome-team/skills` to install the `@capacitor-mlkit/genai-summarization` plugin in my project. `` If you prefer **Manual Setup**, install the plugin by running the following commands and follow the platform-specific instructions below: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-1)npm install @capacitor-mlkit/genai-summarization [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-2)npx cap sync ` ### Android[ΒΆ](#android "Permanent link") #### API level[ΒΆ](#api-level "Permanent link") This plugin requires a minimum API level of 26\. Make sure to set the `minSdkVersion` in your `variables.gradle` file to at least `26`. #### Variables[ΒΆ](#variables "Permanent link") This plugin will use the following project variables (defined in your app’s `variables.gradle` file): * `$mlkitGenaiSummarizationVersion` version of `com.google.mlkit:genai-summarization` (default: `1.0.0-beta1`) ## Usage[ΒΆ](#usage "Permanent link") The following example shows how to check the feature status, download the feature and summarize a text. ### Check the feature status[ΒΆ](#check-the-feature-status "Permanent link") Before using the summarization feature, check whether it is available on the device. The feature availability depends on the configured input type, output type and language: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-1)import { [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-2) FeatureStatus, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-3) GenAiSummarization, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-4) InputType, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-5) Language, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-6) OutputType, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-7)} from '@capacitor-mlkit/genai-summarization'; [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-8) [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-9)const checkFeatureStatus = async () => { [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-10) const { featureStatus } = await GenAiSummarization.checkFeatureStatus({ [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-11) inputType: InputType.Article, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-12) language: Language.English, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-13) outputType: OutputType.ThreeBullets, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-14) }); [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-15) return featureStatus === FeatureStatus.Available; [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-16)}; ` ### Download the feature[ΒΆ](#download-the-feature "Permanent link") If the feature status is `DOWNLOADABLE`, download the feature before using it. Add a listener for the `downloadProgress` event to get notified about the download progress: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-1)import { GenAiSummarization, InputType, Language, OutputType } from '@capacitor-mlkit/genai-summarization'; [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-2) [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-3)const downloadFeature = async () => { [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-4) await GenAiSummarization.addListener('downloadProgress', event => { [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-5) console.log('Total bytes downloaded:', event.totalBytesDownloaded); [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-6) }); [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-7) await GenAiSummarization.downloadFeature({ [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-8) inputType: InputType.Article, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-9) language: Language.English, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-10) outputType: OutputType.ThreeBullets, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-11) }); [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-12)}; ` ### Summarize a text[ΒΆ](#summarize-a-text "Permanent link") Pass the text to `summarize(...)` to generate a summary. Add a listener for the `inferenceProgress` event to receive partial results as they are generated: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-1)import { GenAiSummarization, InputType, Language, OutputType } from '@capacitor-mlkit/genai-summarization'; [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-2) [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-3)const summarize = async () => { [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-4) await GenAiSummarization.addListener('inferenceProgress', event => { [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-5) console.log('Partial result:', event.text); [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-6) }); [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-7) const { summary } = await GenAiSummarization.summarize({ [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-8) text: 'Capacitor is an open source native runtime for building Web Native apps. Create cross-platform iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.', [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-9) inputType: InputType.Article, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-10) language: Language.English, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-11) outputType: OutputType.ThreeBullets, [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-12) }); [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-13) return summary; [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-14)}; ` ## API[ΒΆ](#api "Permanent link") * [checkFeatureStatus(...)](#checkfeaturestatus) * [downloadFeature(...)](#downloadfeature) * [summarize(...)](#summarize) * [addListener('downloadProgress', ...)](#addlistenerdownloadprogress-) * [addListener('inferenceProgress', ...)](#addlistenerinferenceprogress-) * [removeAllListeners()](#removealllisteners) * [Interfaces](#interfaces) * [Enums](#enums) ### checkFeatureStatus(...)[ΒΆ](#checkfeaturestatus "Permanent link") `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-6-1)checkFeatureStatus(options?: FeatureOptions | undefined) => Promise ` Check the current availability status of the summarization feature. If the status is `DOWNLOADABLE`, you can download the feature using `downloadFeature(...)`.

This requires a device that supports Gemini Nano, Android API level 26 or higher and a locked bootloader (see [Requirements](#requirements)). Use the `checkFeatureStatus(...)` method to check whether the feature is available on the device. ### Why is this plugin only available on Android?[ΒΆ](#why-is-this-plugin-only-available-on-android "Permanent link") The ML Kit GenAI APIs are based on Gemini Nano and AICore, which are currently only available on Android. On iOS and Web, all methods reject with an appropriate error. ### How large can the input text be?[ΒΆ](#how-large-can-the-input-text-be "Permanent link") The input must be under 4,000 tokens (or about 3,000 English words). For articles, the input should contain at least 400 characters for the best results. ### How do I get the summary as a stream?[ΒΆ](#how-do-i-get-the-summary-as-a-stream "Permanent link") Add a listener for the `inferenceProgress` event before calling `summarize(...)`. The listener is called with each partial result as it is generated. The promise returned by `summarize(...)` resolves with the full result. ### Can I use this plugin with Ionic, React, Vue or Angular?[ΒΆ](#can-i-use-this-plugin-with-ionic-react-vue-or-angular "Permanent link") Yes, the plugin is framework-agnostic.
