Appian Multi-Perspective Document Insight Copilot

Overview

Organizations generate and manage large volumes of complex documents such as contracts, NDAs, MSAs, annual reports, HR policies, sustainability reports, and press releases. Extracting actionable insights from these documents for different stakeholders-employees, investors, customers, compliance teams, partners, or the general public—is often time-consuming, error-prone, and inconsistent. Manual review requires domain expertise, slows decision-making, and increases operational costs.

Document Insight Copilot solves this challenge by automatically analyzing documents and generating role-specific summaries. It ensures that every stakeholder receives information relevant to their needs:

Employees: Plain-language summaries or FAQ-style explanations for easier understanding of policies and procedures.
Investors: Highlights key financial metrics, growth signals, risks, and strategic insights.
Customers: Communicates trust, quality, and product/service benefits clearly.
Compliance/Regulators: Identifies clauses, obligations, and disclosures relevant to regulations and audits.
Partners/Vendors: Summarizes contract terms, collaboration impacts, and obligations. General Public/Media: Provides concise, neutral, and digestible summaries suitable for communication or reporting.

By converting dense and technical content into audience-adapted insights, the Copilot reduces manual effort, accelerates understanding, minimizes misinterpretation, and improves communication across departments. It supports faster decision-making, regulatory compliance, investor relations, and customer engagement, making it an essential tool for organizations that need efficient, accurate, and scalable document intelligence.

This AI skill empowers companies to save time, reduce operational costs, and enhance transparency, while ensuring all stakeholders get the precise insights they need from any document, instantly and reliably.
