How do I get ChatGPT to make a long answer shorter?
Trim a long reply to the part you need.
A follow-up can ask for a brief version. Tell ChatGPT how short and which facts it must keep.
A summary can leave out a useful detail, so read it before you use it.
Try this
- Stay in the chat with the long answer.
- Ask for two short sentences or three short points.
- Name any dates, amounts, or steps to keep.
- Compare the short reply with the original.
- Ask it to add back a key detail if one is missing.
A message you can copy
Give me three short points from your last answer. Keep all key dates, amounts, and required steps. Do not add facts.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.

You can ask for the short version from the start.
