**Guided conversations that matter**
Instead of getting generic overviews, you can now direct the AI hosts to focus on exactly what you care about:
• Extract methodology sections from research papers for quick analysis
• Focus on implementation details in technical documentation
• Pull out specific strategic insights from market reports
• Compare different viewpoints across multiple documents
• Focus on specific audiences
