Skills
Skills are pre-built AI workflows that automate complex document analysis tasks. Instead of asking individual questions, Skills execute multi-step processes to extract structured information.
What Are Skills?
Think of Skills as specialized assistants for specific tasks:
| Skill Type | Purpose | Example Output |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction | Pull structured data from documents | Tables, lists, key-value pairs |
| Analysis | Evaluate and assess content | Compliance reports, risk assessments |
| Comparison | Find differences between documents | Change logs, variance reports |
| Generation | Create new content from sources | Summaries, reports, checklists |
