Condensing a long document or thread into a one-page brief
A sixty-page tender, a month of a project channel, a supplier's revised terms: the output is one page a manager can act on — what changed, what is being asked for, what the date is — with a pointer back to the passage behind each line so any of it can be opened and checked in seconds.

Tools named for this
- A long-context model given the whole document rather than arbitrary chunks
- A grounding step that attaches a source span to every line it emits
- A fixed output shape — decisions, asks, dates, unknowns — so a missing section is visible
What to check before you ship it in India
- Documents pasted into a hosted assistant become copies of personal data sitting outside whatever retention pipeline you built. Section 8(7) requires erasure once consent is withdrawn or the specified purpose is no longer served, unless retention is required by law, and a chat history that no system owns is exactly where that obligation goes unmet.
- The evaluation literature on summarisation exists because there is no consensus on how to score one. A re-evaluation of fourteen automatic metrics against both expert and crowd annotation concludes that metrics correlating better with human judgement are still needed, so a pipeline scoring its own summaries is grading itself on a measure whose adequacy is the open question.
