Bottom Line Up Front — a military briefing style where the conclusion comes first. Executives read the first two sentences and know the decision; everything after is supporting evidence.

Will it add its own recommendations?

Only when the document itself supports them. Numbers, findings, and next steps are grounded in your text — if the document doesn't contain a metric, the summary won't have one.

How long a document can I paste?

Up to 16,000 characters (roughly 8-10 pages of text). For longer documents, paste the sections that matter — usually everything except appendices.

Anyone who has to send a long document up the chain: engineers summarizing RFCs for leadership, PMs condensing research, consultants briefing clients.
