Reading an 80-page industry report or 40-page contract to find the five things that actually matter is an enormous time drain. Most people skim, miss important details, or delegate the task entirely — none of which is reliable.

The analyze skill fetches a PDF from its URL and returns a focused AI summary covering key findings, main arguments, dates, figures, and action items. You get the substance without reading front to back. The summary can be scoped to a specific question or structured as bullet points, an executive brief, or a Q&A.

Researchers reviewing academic papers, lawyers doing initial contract review, and executives processing vendor proposals all use this to make faster, better-informed decisions on documents they previously had to read in full.
