This new feature is a significant time-saver. It intelligently analyzes all your sources and generates a well-structured document without requiring a lengthy custom prompt.

Step 4: Customize & Focus the Briefing – In case you want to refine the output, you can write a prompt in the custom prompt box. For example, you could write something like this:

“Make this executive-friendly by adding an Executive Summary, Key Insights, Action Items, Risks & Opportunities, and ensuring it remains under 2 pages.”

Then click “Run Action” The agentic system will instantly generate the briefing doc with citations. This approach, combining custom prompts, offers the best of both worlds: speed and precision.
