Cross-Document Synthesis
TL;DR
Cowork's ability to read multiple documents simultaneously, extract insights from each, and produce a unified analysis that identifies patterns, contradictions, and themes across the full set.
Definition
Cowork's ability to read multiple documents simultaneously, extract insights from each, and produce a unified analysis that identifies patterns, contradictions, and themes across the full set. Sub-agents can process different documents in parallel, making synthesis of 10+ sources practical in minutes rather than hours.
Exam Context
Know that all documents must be in the same working folder for cross-referencing to work, that sub-agents work independently during extraction and the main agent synthesises afterwards, and that specifying the output format is critical.
