AI-Generated Summaries May Not Be Accurate

Summaries generated by the Summarization Copilot are not intended to recommend an outcome, resolution, or restorative action. Review the summary draft before publishing it to the case.

Brief Summary Format

Brief summaries describe the incident, involved parties, outcomes, and resolutions of the case in 1 to 2 paragraphs. The Summarization Copilot will review the following fields to generate a brief summary:

  • The case’s mandatory and system fields.
  • Their custom forms' dynamic fields.
  • Their parties' names and types.

Detailed Summary Format

Detail summaries describe the entire case investigation in several pages. These summaries include the following sections: 

  • Executive summary: describes the incident and involved parties, using fields on the case intake and party forms.
  • Investigation details and evidence: summarizes the evidence collected during the investigation by reviewing the case’s forms by type. To capture the information revealed during the investigation, the Summarization Copilot uses the fields that are not available on the case intake form.
  • Timeline: provides a chronological view of events, using the case’s workflows.
  • Conclusion and recommendations: lists the key case findings using the data in the previous sections of the generated summary. This section details what happened, who was involved, what evidence was collected, what were the outcomes, how long the investigation took, and what were the supporting documents. It also includes one of the following recommendations for the organization using these conclusions: 
    • No action.
