Pulling out what you need.
WHAT THIS COVERS
Finding specific information in a long document
Extracting structured data: dates, amounts, names, obligations
Answering questions about material
WHY IT IS RELIABLE
The answer is in the provided text. The model locates rather than recalls.
USEFUL PROMPTS
"List every deadline mentioned, with what is due." "What does this contract say about termination?" "Extract all the figures into a table." "What obligations does this place on us?"
FOR STRUCTURED OUTPUT
Specify the format precisely: a table with named columns, a list, particular fields.
Give an example of the format you want.
WHAT TO VERIFY
Extracted figures, against the source. Transcription errors happen.
Anything you will act on.
FOR LONG DOCUMENTS
Split them. Process in sections and combine.
Very long documents may exceed the context limit, or receive uneven attention.
THE HIGH-VALUE USE
Reading a long document you would otherwise not read at all, to find whether it contains anything you need to act on.
