Chapter 3 · Lesson 1
Summarise a Report
Turn a long document into a focused summary you can check.
A 20-page report lands in your inbox an hour before a meeting.
Ask for a job-specific summary

Keep the source nearby
AI can compress information, but you still own verification. Ask it to cite page numbers or quote short source snippets when the stakes are higher.
prompt choice
Which prompt creates the most useful report summary?
Compare the prompts closely. Look for useful context, constraints, and a clear output.
A useful summary is filtered for a purpose.
