About this task
Minimize the time that you spend reading documents, meeting notes, project reports and so on by using a summary that is generated by Now Assist. You can also copy-and-paste the source materials that meet your learning needs in Docs and generate a quick summary.
Procedure
Navigate to Workspaces > Strategic Planning Workspace and open any planning item records such as product idea from Feedback.
From the Docs tab, perform one of these actions according to your requirements.
| Gen AI actions | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Summarize | Summarize the selected text from the Docs tab:
|
| Elaborate | Elaborate the selected text by selecting Elaborate. |
| Shorten | Shorten the selected text by selecting Shorten. |
| Insert below | Add the generated summary after the selected content by selecting Insert below. |
**Note:** Summarization of the entire content is also permitted for users with the read role.
- When you're finished summarizing the content in Docs, you can provide feedback, copy, or view information about it.
| Option | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Provide feedback for the summary | If you think that the summary was helpful, select the helpful icon \( Image omitted: icon-helpful-feedback.png Helpful icon.\). If you think that the summary wasn’t helpful, select the not helpful icon \(\[Omitted image "icon-nt-helpful.png"\] Alt text: Not helpful icon.\).This feedback improves the generative AI model and can help to improve the future versions of this skill. The system gathers the feedback on each generated summary and stores it in the generative AI logs \(sys\_generative\_ai\_log\_list.do\). |
| More information on summary | If you want to check some details about the summary, select the more info icon \( Image omitted: icon-more-information-spm.png More information icon.\). |
| Copy the Docs summary | Select the copy to clipboard icon \( Image omitted: icon-copy-spm.png Copy to clipboard icon.\) to use the summary information for another purpose, such as pasting it into an email. |

**Note:** Because the information in these fields is AI generated, it's a good idea to review the text and make sure it's accurate.
Only an administrator can activate the Now Assist skills. For more information, see [Configure Now Assist Admin features](../now-assist-for-strategic-portfolio-management-spm/configuring-na-spm.md).
The Planning item doc generation and insights skill checks the doc content to determine if enough information is available to generate a summary. If there isn't enough content to summarize, you can add more content and retry.
**Note:** The **Summarize** button is visible only if the Planning item doc generation and insights skill is active. If the selected text exceeds the token limit for Now Assist, this skill can't be executed. If there is more content to summarize, you can remove some content and retry.
