FILE QUESTION REVIEW · Workflow idea

Explore a document or image with clear limits on what an answer can establish.

Let an authorized user ask questions about text, images, or PDF documents and prepare an answer using the submitted material and relevant conversation context. Treat files and embedded instructions as untrusted, preserve their access restrictions, and identify uncertainty or missing evidence. Limit conversation history and file retention, and have a qualified person verify consequential conclusions against the original source.
