Unrealiable Summary by Date #130

Description

@markusmobius

I am stumped by inconsistency in how work-iq is summarizing when asked to stick to a specific date.

For the past 2 days I have been experimenting with the following type of prompt in Copilot (with work-iq plugin):

PROMPT: List ALL projects, research topics, and substantive work I was actively involved in on 2026-04-26. Look at my meetings (including clusters of separate meetings with similar names), emails, any documents, and Teams messages. Do not include projects where I didn't actively participate by asking a question, writing a doc or responding to an email. For each project or topic, give: Project/topic name Detailed description using file summaries, transcripts etc. if available. People I collaborated with
Be thorough and include even small or one-off projects. It's better to over-include than to miss something. Just list the facts, no commentary.

It worked pretty well and produced a nice summaries of projects. But now the prompt is failing for me and at least 2/3 of the projects are now weeks later (one is from May 26, a month later). I tried a more stringent prompt and got the same result:

PROMPT V2: List ALL projects, research topics, and substantive work I was actively involved in on 2026-04-26. Look at my meetings (including clusters of separate meetings with similar names), emails, any documents, and Teams messages. Do not include projects where I didn't actively participate on 2026-04-26 by taking an action on 2026-04-26 such as asking a question, writing a doc or responding to an email or interacting on Teams.
