What ChatGPT can do.
Everyday questions and writing, or turning your source material into a document, deck or analysis with Work.
Hand Work a finished task
Ask Work to create a report, presentation or analysis from source material. Review and refine what comes back.
Choose cloud or local work
Use cloud work for hosted tasks or approved local resources on desktop. Local-dependent steps need your computer online.
A first task to try.
Start small, give it the right context and review what comes back.
Turn your notes into a short presentation
Give Work a few notes and ask for a concise deck with sources and open questions. Review the file and ask for focused revisions.
Try this task
- You’ll need
- A few notes or documents you can share, plus Work access. No connected account is needed for this uploaded-file starter.
- Our starter prompt
Use only the files I attach. Make a five-slide presentation for a general audience: the goal, what the sources establish, three useful findings, open questions and next steps. Link claims to the source file or page. Mark anything the files do not establish. Do not publish or send it.
- What to expect
- A reviewable presentation draft, with source references and a list of gaps.
Check every source reference and slide before sharing. Connected tools are optional for this uploaded-file task.
Our suggested prompt, based on the linked source. We haven’t tested this task ourselves.

Bring the relevant notes into Work and ask for a brief that separates decisions from questions.
Try this task
- You’ll need
- Meeting notes you can share and a clear purpose. Plugins are optional and need their own permission.
- Our starter prompt
Use these meeting notes to create a one-page brief: purpose, decisions already recorded, questions still open and the next owner for each action. Use only names and dates in the notes. Leave missing owners or dates as unassigned. Do not send anything or change my calendar.
- What to expect
- A short document that distinguishes recorded decisions, open questions and unassigned actions.
Notes can be incomplete. Missing owners or dates should stay unresolved until you check them.
Our suggested prompt, based on the linked source. We haven’t tested this task ourselves.
