Import a web page or pasted text into Duetoday

Last updated · 1 min read

Short answer

On your dashboard, choose Link and paste a web page address: Duetoday reads the page and turns it into an AI note with a document summary. To use text you've copied from anywhere, choose Paste, paste it into the box and choose Add. Pasted text opens in Galileo like any other source.

Before you start

  • Plan needed: your first source is free as a preview. More need the 7-day free trial or a subscription.

How to import a web page

  1. Copy the page address from your browser.
  2. On your dashboard, choose Link under Upload Your Own Material.
  3. Paste the address. You’ll see “Website detected. We’ll use the website import flow automatically.”
  4. Choose Add. Duetoday creates a note named after the site and opens it while it reads the page.
  5. Wait for the summary. A “Document Summary” job runs in the background and fills in your note.
  6. Study it. Use the Flashcards, Quiz and More tabs in the note to generate study tools, or ask the AI chat questions about it.

Steps to paste text

  1. Copy the text you want to study, such as notes from a document or an email from your lecturer.
  2. On your dashboard, choose Paste (“Copied Text”).
  3. Paste into the box that says “Paste your notes here”.
  4. Choose Add. Galileo opens with your text as its source and builds a summary, flashcards and a quiz.

Tips

  • Paste your own lecture notes to get flashcards from them in seconds.
  • Clean up first. Remove menus, adverts or unrelated text before pasting for tighter results.
  • Chrome user? The Chrome extension can import the page you’re on with Import Page.

If something goes wrong

  • “Import failed” or “No content extracted from website”. The page couldn’t be read, often because it needs a login or is mostly images. Copy the text and use Paste instead.
  • “Enter a valid YouTube or website link.” Make sure the address is complete and starts with https://.
  • “Pasted text is empty”. Nothing was in your clipboard. Copy the text again and retry.

Frequently asked questions

Which websites work?

Most public article and documentation pages. Pages behind a login (such as your university portal), paywalls and pages that are mostly images or video can't be read. For those, copy the text and use Paste instead.

Where does an imported web page go?

It becomes a note in your General folder, named after the page title. You can move it to another folder afterwards.

Is there a limit on how much text I can paste?

There's no fixed limit, but very long pastes take longer. For a whole book, upload the PDF instead.
