AI-Driven Document Summarization
Try out Egnyte’s new AI-based document summarization feature! It synthesizes the content using industry-leading large language models (LLMs), and is sensitive to the type of documents.
In order to create a document summary, please visit the new ‘Summary’ tab on the document preview pane. The summary will be synthesized and displayed in the tab.
Users can provide feedback on whether the summary is useful by using the thumbs-up/thumbs-down icons at the bottom of the summary pane.
The thumbs up/down icons will appear when you hover over the summary pane.
This feature is available on all Platform plans.

This feature is in limited availability and is currently only available to a small number of users on the Platform Enterprise plan.

In order to utilize this feature, click on the Q&A tab in the document preview pane, and type your questions in the box at the bottom. Users can provide feedback on whether the answers are helpful by clicking on the thumbs-up/thumbs-down icons.
