Trigger phrases include 'summarize this paper', 'explain this paper', 'what does this paper say', 'break down this study', 'summarize this article', or any time the user supplies a paper (PDF/URL/text) and wants it explained. Do NOT use for summarizing non-academic documents like reports, whitepapers, or news articles.
