    Prompt
    Analyze this document and do the following:

1. Give a short summary of the main ideas (3-5 points)
2. Answer these questions: [your questions about the content]
3. Rewrite the text in [style: academic/business/simple]

Answer in a structured way - each section with a heading.
    What this prompt doesThis prompt sets up three-level processing: 1) key information; 2) answers to your specific questions; 3) reformatting in your chosen style. Replace [your questions about the content] with real questions (for example, «Who is the author proposing a solution? What data is provided?»), and [style] with your chosen format (for example, «business report», «memo», «explanation for children»).
  4. 4.Read the answer in the chat window. If you need deeper analysis, ask a follow-up question in the same chat - the document context will be saved

    The AI remembers the uploaded file within one conversation. You can ask follow-up questions without reloading the document.

  5. 5.Copy the parts of the answer you need or export the entire conversation (menu → Share, then Copy link) to save it

    The conversation stays in your account, but you can export it to back it up or share it.
