“When a button is clicked, AI summary of a channel.”
/tldr → AI summary of a channel (last 50) → Reply, only they see it.
What it does
Read a channel's recent messages and have the AI sum them up. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under AI & images in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the AI should do the work: read a channel's recent messages and have the AI sum them up.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
