How to summarize a long PDF in seconds

Boil a 40-page report down to key points and action items, with every claim cited back to the source.

Long documents, short time

Nobody reads a 40-page report end to end before a meeting. A summary gives you the signal without the scroll โ€” but only if you can trust where each point came from.

Get a summary in the chat

  • Upload the PDF to the studio.
  • Ask for a summary, and say how long you want it โ€” one line, a paragraph, or a full brief.
  • Ask for action items separately if you need next steps.
  • Download a written brief if you want to share it.

Make it more useful

  • Ask for the summary grouped by theme or department.
  • Request a list of numbers and decisions, not just narrative.
  • Ask what changed since a previous version if you have both files.
  • Get a one-line takeaway for each section to skim fast.

Every claim is source-cited

DocLique ties each answer back to your own document, so you can jump to the exact page a claim came from. You get speed without having to take the summary on faith.
