@glyph I run a large software team. I find LLMs useful for summarizing related docs that are mentioned in designs and project plans I'm reviewing.

eg, There's a service I've never heard of that gets mentioned in passing. To understand the passage I need to know basically what it does, but exact details do not matter. Approximate knowledge is enough to get me unblocked.

Previously I would have needed to follow a link, skim a design, summarize in my head, jump back to the doc I care about.

Now I just ask for a summary of what it does. Instantly unblocked, stay in the flow of the design I'm reviewing. And if it's slightly mangled, who cares? It's not the design I'm thinking about, and I would have just as likely misunderstood trying to dig through the docs myself.
