Recipes: Summarization

[jaluma]

Feature Description

Summarize information such as chat history, documents, etc.

Definition

Starting to introduce new functionality, let's start with a much requested recipe. A recipe will be a basic, abstract and atomic functionality definition, which will incorporate specific use cases.

Reason

Handling large volumes of text data can be overwhelming and inefficient. Summarizing information helps extract key points and essential content, making it easier to comprehend and utilize the data.

Steps to Implement

This is a first proposal of how we could implement it:

1. Define Summarization Service: Create a module to handle summarization logic.
2. Define API Endpoint: Set up a new endpoint in your web server to handle summarization requests.
3. Integrate with Chat: Optionally, integrate the summarization feature into the chat interface.
