Day 24: Get smarter summaries by telling AI what to look for.

Hey, Ivy here. If a summary feels bland, the problem is usually not the model. It is the request. Summarize this is too broad. A better move is to tell AI what to look for: Summarize this for me, but prioritize decisions, risks, open questions, deadlines, and anything that changes what I should do next. Now the model has a filter. You can swap in whatever matters for the task: customer objections, budget changes, blockers, or surprising data points. The summary gets better when the criteria get sharper. Do not ask for shorter. Ask for signal. Tomorrow, I will show you how to ask AI for two options and a recommendation.
