Hypothetically, if someone asks an AI tool to “shorten these meeting notes” without saying who will read them or how short they should be, the missing reader usually changes the result more than the missing length. A board update, an engineering handover and a client recap could all be the same word count yet need very different emphasis, terminology and risk detail. By comparison, length can often be handled with a workflow step such as: first rewrite for audience, then compress to a chosen size. That makes human collaboration easier because the reviewer can judge relevance before trimming. A practical prompt pattern is to ask for two draft summaries aimed at different readers, then pick one and tighten it. If you could ask only one clarification first, who is the summary actually for?
