Reading comments without author names

For other LLMs, you have to download the Google Doc as a markdown file ("File > Download > Markdown"), then upload it. Again, the markdown file contains comments—but not comment author names.
Reading comments with author names
If you must have comments with author names, use this tool to get a markdown file with author name attribution.
