Create a Document Review and Summary System
Stop spending hours reading dense PDFs and contracts. Build a system to extract key information from any document in minutes.
Time Required
20–30 min per document
Expected Result
A structured summary of any document with key points, risks, decisions required, and action items — extracted in under 30 minutes.
Choose Your Document Tool
For research papers, use Elicit or SciSpace. For contracts and legal docs, use ChatPDF or Claude. For business reports, use Google NotebookLM. Upload the document.
Run the Standard Extraction Prompt
Ask Claude or ChatGPT: 'Summarize this document in 200 words, then list: 5 key points, 3 risks or concerns, decisions required, and recommended next actions.'
Ask Follow-Up Questions
Use the document as context in Claude to ask specific questions: What are the payment terms? What are the exit clauses? What does section 4.2 actually mean in plain English?
Generate a Review Memo
Ask Claude to write a 1-page review memo in plain language summarizing the document for someone who hasn't read it — with a clear recommendation at the top.
