Reasoning Over Documents
Use AI to compare, extract, and summarize without losing source discipline.
What you will learn
- Explain reasoning over documents in clear language.
- Recognise where this concept appears in real work.
- Apply the idea and check the result using a practical activity.
The concept
Document workflows need traceability. Ask AI to cite where claims came from, separate quotes from interpretation, and list uncertain points.
In plain English
If AI reads three articles for you, make it show which article each important point came from.
Work example
A manager can compare customer interviews and ask for themes, contradictions, and exact supporting snippets.
Try it yourself
