Limits on shared chats

If two chats run at the same time, they can overwrite each other’s saved document types and readers, even when they’re working on different documents in different folders. When chats share the document types file, let only one of them save document settings at a time.

Start or resume work

  1. Open your assistant in your knowledge base folder.
  2. Ask: “Read this area’s guidance and documents. Explain what people do and produce, and suggest where to begin.”
  3. If you’ve saved notes before, ask it to read them and tell you where to pick up.
  4. Decide on the next task together and ask your assistant to walk you through it. Look over any changes it proposes before it edits your files.

Improve your first document

Pick a proposal or a codebase document you want to improve, and ask:
Help me finish this proposal using these notes. Show me a draft before changing the file.
  1. Answer your assistant’s questions.
  2. Read the proposed changes. Check each one’s sources, and name it by its ID, such as C2.
  3. Approve the text. Your assistant saves it, checks it and records the edit.
  4. Ask your assistant to show you the edit history.
Next: Revise a document.
