AI Quick Tips 4: Use AI Chatbots like ChatGPT to summarize documents on the web

Written by Damien Griffin | Jun 3, 2024 5:30:00 PM

If you have a long online document or PDF, you can use an AI tool like ChatGPT to review the entire piece and give you a summary.  This can be useful with large or complex documents.

 

Sample prompt:

“Please review the document using the provided link and return a brief summary.
Document link: www.documentaddress.pdf
Output format: Paragraph with less than 100 words.”

 

Bonus - You can also give the AI tool a persona so that it has some additional context (i.e., “You are a Harvard professor of astrophysics”).
