What you're asking
You ask the AI to boil down a long text. You get a few bullets and a short note on what matters to you.
Give it
- The full text or file
- How many points you want
- Your situation, so it can say what matters to you
You need: Attaching a file needs an AI app that accepts files; very long documents may be cut off.
No file upload? Copy and paste the text, a section at a time if it's long.
Check: For anything important, check key facts against the original.
