This document provides an overview of the ActiveSupport gem in Ruby on Rails. It discusses how ActiveSupport is included with Rails and can also be used independently. It then demonstrates various helper methods from ActiveSupport for working with strings, dates/times, arrays, and hashes. These include pluralize, singularize, camelize, constantize, presence, ago, since, beginning_of_day, end_of_year, and assert_valid_keys. The document seeks to illustrate useful ActiveSupport utilities through examples in Pry.
