There is a particular kind of panic that comes from having the material and no time. The lecture is recorded, the article is open, the reading list is honest - and the seminar is in twenty minutes.
Highlighting does not help, because highlighting is not thinking. What you actually need is the thing a very organised classmate would hand you: the main points as a list, the key terms with definitions, and a conclusion that tells you what the whole thing was for.
That is exactly what this prompt produces. It does not summarise into a vague paragraph - it restructures. And because the terms come with short definitions, you end up with something you can revise from, not just something shorter than the original.
Run it in the AIMIKA chat in Text mode, where you can paste long text without it being cut off.
You get three things back, in this order: the main points as a list, the key terms with a short definition under each, and a conclusion that says what the whole text was arguing. The terms matter more than people expect - most of the difficulty in a new subject is vocabulary, and a summary that leaves the vocabulary undefined has skipped the hard part.
It works on anything text-shaped: a lecture transcript, a journal article, a long report, the twelve pages of documentation you were told to read before Monday.
