  • AI chat tool

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Copy and paste a long article or email into the AI chat box.

  2. 2

    Prompt: 'Summarize this in 3 bullet points a busy person could read in 10 seconds.'

  3. 3

    Ask a follow-up: 'Now summarize it in one sentence.'

  4. 4

    Try it again asking for a summary 'in plain English, no jargon' if the original text was technical.

    Discuss where this saves time in real life: work emails, news, insurance policies, product manuals.

Instructor TipBring a genuinely long, boring document (like terms of service) to make the time-savings feel real and relatable.
