Skill: Summarize
Category: Summarize
The
Summarize
skill is a powerful tool designed to distill complex and/or large documents into summaries tailored to your specific needs. It can handle an array of document types, including transcripts, medical records, court cases, and scientific articles.Features and benefits
- TheSummarizeskill can easily be adapted to user preferences.
- You can request a page-by-page summary (for 1 document at a time).
- You can direct CoCounsel to summarize specific aspects or portions of the documents versus the whole document or set of documents.
- You can also reformat your results.
- This flexibility lets you extract key information from large documents or sets of documents, saving valuable time without missing critical information.
Practice tips
- Specify the type of summary you need (for example, “I need a [standard/page-by-page] summary”).
- Specify the length of the summary in your prompt (for example, “Generate a summary in 3 paragraphs”).
- Provide details on how the summary should be formatted (for example, “Provide the summary in paragraph form” or “Format the summary in a bulleted list”).
- Be concise with your user prompts. It is usually unnecessary to provide detailed context when requesting a summary of a document. In some cases, extraneous information may even cause CoCounsel to behave in unexpected ways.
- You may receive your summaries in multiple parts, or “chunks” when uploading extremely long documents.
- SelectSummarizeto simplify complex legal language. For instance, you can upload a lengthy statute and ask CoCounsel to summarize it in layperson's terms.
Limitations to keep in mind
- While you can instruct CoCounsel to output a specific summary length, it helps to be realistic with the length as it relates to your document. For example, asking for a 2-sentence summary of a 100-plus-page document will likely result in a poor quality or undesirable outcome.
- Asking CoCounsel for a page-by-page summary of more than 1 document at a time will likely result in a poor quality or undesirable outcome.
- If humans struggle to understand the text of the underlying document, such as illogical structure or illegible handwriting, CoCounsel may struggle as well.
