Generating Multiple Documents Efficiently
When you need to generate many documents for one company or compliance project, organizing your workflow properly ensures the AI delivers consistent, high-quality results. This guide covers the best approach for bulk document generation.
The Recommended Workflow
Follow these steps to maximize quality when generating multiple documents:
Create a dedicated Workspace — Set up a Workspace specifically for the company or project (e.g., "Acme Corp - ISO 27001").
Provide all context upfront — In the Workspace settings, add:
The compliance framework you're working with
Company-specific details and requirements
Custom documents or templates via file uploads
Choose the right mode — Use Think mode for extended document generation sessions. Think mode now supports indefinite conversations through automatic compaction.
Start your first conversation — Within the Workspace, create a conversation and generate related documents. Think mode allows you to continue generating without hitting conversation limits.
For Fast mode: create fresh conversations for new document sets — If using Fast mode and the thread exceeds 20 messages, start a new conversation for optimal quality.
Update: Automatic conversation compaction is now live for Think mode (Claude Opus 4.6). Think mode conversations can continue indefinitely—when approaching token limits (~150,000), the system automatically summarizes earlier messages in the background, allowing continuous document generation without interruption.
Why This Pattern Works
The Workspace retains all your project context (framework knowledge, custom instructions, uploads), while Think mode's automatic compaction prevents the AI from being overwhelmed by lengthy chat history.
For Fast mode, fresh conversations every 15-20 messages provide cleaner context and better output quality.
Example Scenario
Generating a complete ISO 27001 policy set for Acme Corp using Think mode:
Create Workspace: "Acme Corp - ISO 27001"
Upload company security framework and org chart
Switch to Think mode
Single extended conversation: Generate all policies sequentially—access control (A.9), cryptography (A.10), physical security (A.11), incident management (A.16), business continuity (A.17)—without interruption. Compaction automatically manages context as needed.
Think mode allows you to generate 20+ documents in one continuous session with automatic context management.
For the highest quality, use Think mode for comprehensive document generation. The automatic compaction feature handles extended conversations seamlessly.
Fast Mode Alternative
If using Fast mode for quicker generation:
Conversation 1: Generate access control policies (A.9.1–A.9.4) — 5 documents
Conversation 2: Generate cryptography and physical security policies (A.10, A.11) — 6 documents
Conversation 3: Generate incident management and business continuity (A.16, A.17) — 4 documents
Each conversation starts clean while maintaining access to your uploaded context and Workspace settings.
