Ask an Agent to summarize the thread around a specific purpose. A useful catch-up separates decisions, proposed ideas and unanswered questions. The structure below is a suggested reading aid; you should still open the original message when a decision matters. Learn more: Rooms and threads.

What to do

  1. Say whether you need the current state or the history of how it changed.
  2. Ask for links to the messages that support important decisions.
  3. Have the Agent identify disagreements and missing information explicitly.

Example

Summarize this thread for someone joining today: decisions made, tasks with owners, and questions still open. Link the supporting messages when available.
