The prompt to copy
Summarise this document in 5 short bullet points, in plain language. Then tell me the 3 things I should not miss, with the page number where you found them. Only use what is in the document. If it does not say something, tell me.
Replace the parts between [brackets] with your own words before you send.
Good to know
Asking for page numbers lets you check the important parts yourself in a few seconds.
