What it is
When you have received an envelope of files, you can have AI read them and pull out what is expected of you. You get a note you can go through, and actions only when there is something concrete to do.

Why it matters
A packet of files often just sits there. You open it, you read, and what they actually want from you still lives in your head. What you should be able to do. How you should show up. Whether there is something to actually do. Then you put it off — or you turn everything into tasks you cannot finish.
When what it is about lives outside your head, and only a real next step becomes an action, you do not have to carry the whole packet alone.
