# Spydertrace Summarize

## Overview

Spyderbat's **Summarize** feature provides a quick, structured summary of a **Spydertrace** investigation, enabling users to understand key details without manually analyzing the trace. This feature enhances threat detection efficiency and streamlines the investigative process.

> **Note:** Summarize is available only on an opt-in basis per organization. It requires approval to send data to OpenAI. To enable the feature, navigate to **Admin → Organization Management → AI Management**. Here, you can opt in or out, track your **monthly usage quota**, and view the **Recent Summarize Usage Log**.

By default, a monthly quota of 50 is provided, with each trace summary consuming one. You can contact us to request an increase.

## What is Summarize?

The **Summarize** feature in Spyderbat generates a concise summary of a **Spydertrace**, highlighting critical security insights.

Behind the scenes, it takes the Spydertrace as input, sends it to OpenAI, and generates a concise, easy-to-understand summary.

## How to Use Summarize

There are two ways to generate a summary: **Manual** and **Automatic**.

### 1. Manual Summarization

To manually summarize a **Spydertrace**, click the `Summarize` button. The summary generation process may take a few seconds.

#### Example 1: Search

* **Search** for the relevant **Spydertrace**.
* If you find a high-score **Spydertrace** in a restricted cluster, and want to quickly understand its details, click **Summarize** to generate a summary instantly.

### 2. Automatic Summarization

Automatic summarization enables AI-powered summary generation for every **Spydertrace saved search**.

* When enabled, the system **automatically** generates structured summaries for saved **Spydertrace** investigations.

#### Example:

If you want a summary for every high-score Spydertrace (e.g., score 100), follow these steps:

* Search for the high-score Spydertrace.

Once enabled, every time a high-score Spydertrace occurs, you will receive a notification with an investigation link to review the Spydertrace. With automatic summarization, you don't have to wait for the summary to generate—it is ready instantly.
