1. Select Your Source
   Choose the article, report, or white paper you need to digest—whether it’s a PDF, web link, or plain text.

2. Copy & Prompt
   Paste the most important section (e.g., abstract, executive summary, or a challenging paragraph) into your AI tool with a prompt like:

   “Summarize this section in 3 bullet points highlighting the main findings.”

3. Create a Highlights List
   Ask for a second prompt:

   “List 2–3 implications or next steps based on this summary.”
   This turns raw data into actionable insights.

4. Validate Quickly
   Skim the AI’s bullets against the original to catch any misinterpretations—AI speeds you up, but your judgment keeps you accurate.

5. Save & Share
   Store the summary in your notes app or email it to colleagues with a one-sentence context:

   “Here’s a quick rundown of the key points from [Report Title].”

Why It Works

• Time Savings: Reduces a 20-page read to a 30-second review.

• Clarity: Bullet points cut through jargon and highlight essentials.

• Collaboration: Easily shareable summaries keep your team aligned.

Pro Tips

• Use Headings: If a section is long, break it into “Background,” “Results,” “Conclusion” for targeted summaries.

• Ask for Definitions: Follow up with “Define [term] in simple terms” to unpack technical language.

• Iterate: If the first summary is too vague, refine your prompt: “Give me 5 data-driven insights from this text.”
