**TLDR:** A summarization approach that focuses on a specific user query or information need rather than producing a general summary.

<p>Query-focused summarization acknowledges that different users may need different summaries of the same document. Instead of summarizing the document as a whole, it emphasizes content most relevant to the given question or purpose. It is especially valuable in law, research, technical documents, and enterprise search scenarios. It brings summarization and retrieval logic into the same system.</p>
