Technical FAQ
Does Summarize cache results?
- Summarize does caches results and even makes them available for all users outside of selected user groups.
Caveats
- Summarize outputs may not be 100% accurate, so make sure to check any output carefully
- LLM calls can be expensive. We recommend enabling Summarize for specific user groups to help control costs
