Working With Documents

Where document assistance genuinely saves time.

  • Summarisation

    Long document to a short brief.

  • Question answering

    Ask directly instead of scanning pages.

  • Comparing documents

    Find differences between two versions.

  • Extracting actions

    Pull out who must do what.

  • Finding risks

    Surface dependencies and gaps.

  • Simplifying complexity

    Translate dense language into plain terms.

  • Audience-specific summaries

    One document, different summaries for exec, team and customer.

Example prompt

Review this document as a senior Program Manager and identify risks, dependencies, unresolved decisions and actions.

Key takeaway

Documents are context. Use them deliberately and within policy.
