What if you never had to read another long report again?
AI can scan, summarise, and highlight what matters - so you can skip the fluff and get straight to the point.
I used to lose hours each week reading through dense white papers, change notices, and contractual updates. It was slow, manual, and honestly exhausting, especially when only a fraction of the content ever required real action.
Now I run them through AI to get a clean, consolidated summary. From there, I decide whether it needs a closer look or if that’s enough. It’s helped me stay on top of things without getting buried in the detail.

Pro tip: Before uploading anything sensitive, make sure your AI tool isn’t set to learn from your data. You don’t want internal documents becoming part of a public model.
How to Use AI to Summarise Documents:
- Using ChatGPT (or AI tools such as Claude or Gemini), upload your relevant document(s) and use the following prompt
- Summarise the attached document and highlight any key notes referencing changes, decisions required, important dates and any actions required. Format the response in clear sections and with bullet points.
- Review the output for relevant information and action items
- Review the output and look for anything that requires a response, impacts compliance, or has a time-sensitive deadline. If something isn’t clear or seems important, go back to that section in the original document and review it more closely.
And that's it - you've now just saved yourself the time you would have otherwise spent manually reviewing the document and have minimised the chance of missing. I've saved at least 3-4 hours per week with this single change.
