What the AI returned with this prompt and some sample answers.

# Article summary video · “How we set up a book swap in our building's lobby”

IDEA MAP OF THE TEXT
Thesis: according to the author, a book swap works when the rules fit on a
single sheet.
1. One shelf and one sign were enough to get started (paragraph 2).
2. A single rule: leave one, take one (paragraph 3).
3. She thinks checking the shelf every week “probably” stops it filling up
   with books nobody wants (paragraph 5).
   Author's caveat: she presents it as an impression, not as data.
