Systems for controllable summarization of content

A method comprising:

• identifying a first content item, the first content item including a set of sub-content items;
• determining a level of abstraction for the first content item;
• automatically engineering a prompt for providing to a large language model (LLM), the prompt including a reference to the first content item and the level of the abstraction for the first content item;
• receiving a response to the prompt from the LLM, the response including a second content item, the second content item including a representation of the first content item that is generated by the LLM, the representation omitting or simplifying one or more of the set of sub-content items based on the level of abstraction;
• and
• using the representation to control an output that is communicated to a target device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, causes the one or more computer processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• identifying a first content item, the first content item including a set of sub-content items;
• determining a level of abstraction for the first content item;
• automatically engineering a prompt for providing to a large language model (LLM), the prompt including a reference to the first content item and the level of the abstraction for the first content item;
• receiving a response to the prompt from the LLM, the response including a second content item, the second content item including a representation of the first content item that is generated by the LLM, the representation omitting or simplifying one or more of the set of sub-content items based on the level of abstraction;
• and
• using the representation to control an output that is communicated to a target device.
