Executive summary of a long document

Paste a long document (report, contract, proposal) and get a one-page summary with the essentials, the key numbers and what to decide.

Nobody reads the 40-page report, but everyone needs what's in it. This prompt pulls out the essentials, the numbers that matter and the pending decision, in one page. Perfect for when someone drops a huge PDF on you and you have five minutes.

For: ChatGPTClaudeGemini
Full prompt
Act as a chief of staff who prepares briefings for a very busy person who decides fast.

I'll paste a long document. Give me a ONE-page executive summary, meant for someone who has no time to read the original.

Document: [PASTE THE TEXT HERE]
Who the summary is for and what they care about: [E.G. my boss, cares about cost and risk]

Structure it like this:
- In one sentence: what it's about and why it matters now.
- 3 to 5 key points (the most important, not everything).
- Numbers and dates that actually matter (if any), exactly as they appear.
- Risks or things to watch.
- What decision or action is needed, and from whom.

Rules: clear language, no jargon, short sentences. Do NOT invent data or figures: use only what's in the document; if something isn't there, write "not specified". If the document is ambiguous, say so. At the end, give me a 3-line version for a chat or email.
