Ask the same question of every document

Individual is the simplest workflow. One question. Every document. One answer per document. Use it when you want directly comparable responses across a set: not summaries, not extractions, just the answer to this specific question from each source.

What you get

• One answer per source.
• Each answer is grounded in its source, with citations.
• Answers can be text or structured (depending on how you phrase the question).
• Downloadable as a per-source folder, a single combined PDF, or saved as notes.

What kind of question to ask

Individual works best with questions that have a clean per-source answer:

• "What's the governing law clause?": clear, document-specific.
• "Who is the principal investigator?": extractable from each paper.
• "What's the maximum file size accepted?": answerable from each spec.

Less well-suited:

• "Which of these is best?": that's a comparison, not a per-source question. Open a Focus instead.
• "Summarize the document.": that's Summarizer, which is purpose-built for summaries.
• "Extract these five fields.": that's Data Extractor, with type-safe schema.

If the question is really five questions, ask the most important one with Individual, then run again for the next.

Individual vs. a Focus on a label

This is the comparison that comes up most:

Individual	Focus on a label
One question, N answers (one per source)	One conversation grounded in all N sources at once
Answers don't reference each other	Single composed answer spanning sources
Direct per-source comparison	Synthesis across the set

Use Individual when the question is "what does each one say"; use Focus when the question is "what do they collectively say."

What's next

• Summarize a collection: for summaries instead of question-answers.
• Extract structured data: for typed fields across documents.
• Three ways to chat: Focus on a label for cross-source synthesis.
