How to get more useful results
Clearly state your goal, the scope of the content, the intended audience, and the desired format. Ask follow-up questions to clarify, but always return to the source PDF to check proper names, figures, conditions, and conclusions.
Limitations of AI
A summary always omits details and may lose exceptions, conditions, footnotes, or the document's degree of certainty. It does not replace reading the original when the details are decisive.
