# Catch up with AI

Stuck in a meeting, or waking up to a busy conversation? Catch-up generates a summary
of what you missed.

## The quick way

Swipe from right to left on a conversation, either from Home or in your conversation list,
and Catch-up summarizes the discussion, with links to play the source messages.

## The full catch-up summary

1. **Open the conversation** you want to catch up on.
2. **Open AI Chat.** Tap the **summarize icon** at the top right and choose **AI Chat** —
   on desktop, use the dedicated **AI Chats** button in the app bar instead.
3. **Select Create Catch-Up Summary.** This covers new messages from the last 24 hours.
4. **Wait a few seconds** for the summary, which gives you a high-level overview
   including:
   - Key actions, and anything urgent or decided
   - Milestones, or shifts in priorities
   - Questions and requests
5. **Tap a highlighted blue name** to jump straight to the original message.

You can also tap the **"…"** and select **Mark as Read** to clear the new messages in
the conversation.
