Document Summary

[habitoti]

Ok @clusterzx , so here is the life-changing, world-saving idea for once the RAG chat is done and you just don't know what else to come up with:

One thing that AI is sooo good with is wrapping up the content of a document into a short summary. Now Paperless-NGX doesn't have any specific property (being displayed) for this, BUT HOLD MY BEER:

In this display of documents the content metadata is presented directly next to the thumbnail (here blurred for privacy...). It's usually some general gibberish in the beginning, or just the very start of a longer document, so pretty useless as it is today.

So WHAT IF Paperless-AI would have an option to create a 100-word (e.g.) summary (which is a no-brainer for any AI while it's anyway looking at the content...) and just prefix the content metadata with it? Then this summary would just appear in the beginning, and in turn being shown in the above display.

Yes, the OCR'ed content as being hold by the content property would be modified, but in principle w/o changing the document semantics, so search would not be negatively affected.

I'd say this would be a pretty low effort (especially for you ;-) ) and put a big additional cherry on the Paperless-AI scorecard!

I came here to see how others were using Paperless-AI to summarize and store a document. I'd love to have a way to have a field or even the above to summarize the document.
