How Do You Review 200 Ideas When Each One Spans Three Pages?

Your team submits detailed proposals. Applications include budget breakdowns, market analysis, technical specs, and risk assessments. An evaluator opens the first idea and sees a wall of text across multiple form fields.

AI Summaries solve this. The feature generates a 140-character executive overview from all the content in an idea. You place this summary at the top of your idea layout. Now your evaluators see the core point in one sentence before they scroll through attachments, comments, and form responses.

How This Works in Practice

You collect startup applications for your accelerator program. Each application has 12 form fields. You activate AI Summaries and configure your layout to show the summary first. Your selection committee opens the idea list and reads the summary on each card. They shortlist 30 applications in 20 minutes instead of two hours.

The same approach applies to employee improvement suggestions, product feature requests, or department innovation submissions. The AI reads all form fields and outputs a single summary sentence. Your evaluators make faster decisions because they understand the idea before reading the full detail.

Ideanote gives you control over where the summary appears and how your team sees it.

How does AI summarization work in Ideanote?

Ideanote generates a 140-character executive summary of each idea using AI. You position this summary at the top of the idea card or detail view. Your evaluators see the core point immediately before they read the full submission.

You control where the summary appears in your layout. Set up your views to show only the title and summary when you need a quick overview of many ideas at once.

When should I use AI summaries for ideas?

AI summaries work best when your ideas include detailed form fields, long descriptions, or multiple sections. Examples include project applications, startup pitch submissions, or business plans where the full content takes time to read.

Your evaluation panels save time during initial review phases. They scan summaries first, then open full details only for ideas that warrant deeper attention.

Who sees the AI-generated summaries?

You decide who sees summaries based on your layout and access settings. Typically, evaluators, reviewers, and innovation managers benefit most from summary views during scoring and prioritization.

The summary appears alongside the idea wherever you place the summary field in your layout. All users with access to the idea see the summary in those configured views.

Does the AI summarize comments and feedback on ideas?

The current AI summary feature generates an executive overview of the idea submission itself. This includes the idea description and form field responses submitted by the idea author.

The feature does not summarize comment threads or feedback discussions at this time. The summary focuses on the core idea content to help evaluators understand the submission quickly.

What are AI credits and how do they work with summaries?

AI credits are usage units that your Ideanote account consumes when you generate AI summaries. Each time you create a summary for an idea, the system deducts credits from your account balance.

Your plan includes a specific number of AI credits. You see your credit balance in your account settings. Contact your account manager if you need additional credits for larger idea volumes.

Where does the AI summary appear on an idea?

You control the placement of the AI summary through your layout settings. Most teams position the summary directly below the idea title at the top of the idea card or detail page.

This placement means evaluators see the 140-character overview immediately. They get the essential information before scrolling through form fields, attachments, or comment sections.

How do I generate an AI summary for an idea?

You generate summaries directly within the idea view. Open an idea and select the option to create an AI summary. The system processes the idea content and produces a 140-character executive overview in seconds.

You have the option to regenerate summaries if needed. The AI analyzes all form field responses and the main idea description to create the most relevant overview.
