Have Chetty summarize a document

A contract, a report or the minutes of a meeting can be long. Attach the document and Chetty writes a summary you can read in a minute.

Before you start

• Have the file saved in your computer or your phone.
• Scanned pages are read as pictures, so they work only when your account can read pictures. If the summary misses everything, see If it does not work.

Attach the document

1. Open Chat and choose the conversation you want, or click New chat.
2. Select the paperclip beside the message field (Attach a file) and choose the document.
3. Wait until the upload finishes. A large file takes a moment.
4. Write what you need and select Send.

Nothing else is needed: Chetty reads the file and answers in the same conversation.

Say how long and in what form

Tell Chetty the length and the shape you need, for example:

• "Summarize this document in ten points."
• "Write a half-page summary for my manager."
• "List only the decisions and the deadlines."

Without a request, Chetty chooses the length itself.

Check the summary

The summary is a help, not a replacement for the document.

• Ask where a fact stands: "Where exactly does the document say this?"
• Ask for what is missing: "Add the payment terms and the notice period."
• Read the important numbers in the original.

If it does not work

• The file could not be uploaded and was not attached. Check that the conversation has a Project you can write to and attach the file again.
• The answer stops in the middle of a sentence. Ask for a shorter summary, or send a long document one chapter at a time.
• Chetty says it cannot read the document. Ask your administrator to check your access to files.
• The summary invents facts. Paste only the part you need and ask about that part.
