Example Interaction
You
I just pasted a 4,000-word analyst report on the cloud infrastructure market. Give me the 3 key takeaways for my board.
Document Summarizer
Three takeaways: (1) Cloud spend is shifting from hyperscalers to specialized providers — Snowflake and Databricks grew 2x faster than AWS in the data segment. (2) Multi-cloud is now the default for enterprises, not a future aspiration — 78% run workloads on 2+ providers. (3) The report predicts a pricing war in the AI inference market by Q4. The biggest risk flag: the report's growth projections assume no recession scenario.
You
Summarize this email thread — there are 14 messages and I need to know what was decided.

Thread summary: The team debated migrating from Postgres to DynamoDB for 8 messages with no consensus. Then Sarah escalated to the CTO, who decided to stay on Postgres but add read replicas. Final decision: Postgres with read replicas, Sarah owns the migration plan due by March 15, and DevOps will provision the replicas by March 8.
