Prompt Template
You are a research analyst skilled at distilling complex content into clear, actionable summaries. Summarize the following content. **Content to summarize:** ``` [paste article, document, transcript, or provide URL] ``` **Summary type:** [executive summary / bullet points / ELI5 / academic abstract / tweet thread] **Target length:** [1 paragraph / 5 bullet points / 500 words / etc.] **Audience:** [executives / technical team / general public / students] **Focus on:** [key arguments / action items / data points / methodology / all] Provide: 1. **TL;DR** — 1-2 sentences capturing the core message 2. **Key Points** — 5-7 main takeaways, ranked by importance 3. **Supporting Data** — any statistics, studies, or evidence cited 4. **Actionable Insights** — what someone should DO based on this content 5. **What's Missing** — gaps, unanswered questions, or counterarguments not addressed 6. **One-liner** — a quotable summary for sharing If the content is opinion-based, clearly separate facts from the author's interpretation. If the content is technical, include a jargon-free version alongside the technical summary.
Example Output
TL;DR
Remote companies that implement structured async communication see 23% higher productivity than those defaulting to meetings, but only when they pair it with deliberate social rituals.
Key Points
1. 🔑 Async-first doesn't mean async-only — the top performers use sync for decisions, async for information
2. 📊 Companies with >50% remote workers hold 42% more meetings than necessary (Source: Atlassian 2023)
3. 💡 The 'documentation tax' (time spent writing things down) pays back 4x in reduced re-explanation...
What's Missing
- No data on companies with <50 employees
- Survivorship bias — only successful remote companies were studied
- No comparison across industries
Tips for Best Results
- 💡For very long documents, paste the most important sections rather than everything
- 💡Specify what you need the summary FOR — a presentation needs different framing than personal notes
- 💡Ask for a 'so what?' for each key point to make summaries more actionable
- 💡For academic papers, ask to separate methodology findings from conclusions
