Abstract
The techniques provided herein improve existing systems by automatically generating summaries of a document in response to a user input that defines selected segments of a document. The document can include any type of content such as, but not limited to, channel conversations, chat threads, transcripts, word processing documents, spreadsheets, etc. As the user indicates a selection of segments, a system can dynamically update a summary of the segments to inform a user of salient information that is shared in the selected segments. A summary can include a text description of the information having a threshold priority level. A system can analyze documents that are referenced within the selected segments and provide summaries of the documents. The techniques disclosed herein also provide a number of graphical elements that communicate additional context of each part of the summary.
