Overview
This brief guide will provide instructions on how to use the Research Focus when generating your summaries with Genie. In today's data-driven landscape, extracting meaningful insights from vast amounts of text has become paramount. When reviewing meeting transcripts, a focused summary can be invaluable. This is where the concept of a 'Research Focus' comes in when utilizing the Genie summary tool.
Introducing the Research Focus Feature
The Research Focus serves as a guiding beacon for Genie. It incorporates pivotal details about the project, thus instructing Genie on what to prioritize when making transcripts into summaries.
Picture a lengthy transcript from a focus group discussing a new product. If you're mainly interested in the challenges and recommendations, specifying this in the Research Focus will ensure your summary is tailored to that theme.
For the best outcomes, frame your Research Focus to finish the statement: “My summary should focus on ...”
Examples for Clarity
To give you a clearer understanding, let's delve into some practical scenarios:
- Food Delivery App Study: “My summary should focus on opinions and preferences for food delivery apps.”
- Ad Campaign Analysis for XYZ Brand: “My summary should focus on reactions to different messages in the ad campaign.”
- Product Feedback for ABC Brand: “My summary should focus on challenges encountered with the product and recommendations for enhancing the user experience.”
Best Practices for Research Focus
-
Brevity is Key: It might be tempting to list out everything, but it's vital to keep your focus concise. This clarity ensures that Genie remains on point.
-
Inclusivity: Your focus can touch upon several elements. You might, for example, want your summary to consider both preferences and challenges.
-
Steer Clear of Segment Overload: It's best not to include segment information unless it's a significant part of your transcript.
By clearly communicating what's crucial in a transcript, you can now harness Genie's power more effectively, obtaining summaries that resonate with your specific goals.
