New staff FAQ from one policy
Plain questions and the answers for new colleagues, based on one internal policy that you provide and check before the team sees it.
Show promptHide prompt
The agent reads one internal policy that you provide and sorts the points that new colleagues ask about most. It writes each question with a plain answer, based only on the policy wording. You check the list before the team sees it.
Before you start
- Prepare the policy text, with its date and the department that it covers.
- This is not legal advice; consult a qualified employment lawyer for legal questions.
The prompt
Goal: Read the policy in [Policy text] and draft a plain-language FAQ for new staff in the [Department name] team. Context: Artifacts open beside the chat, so show the FAQ there as a document that I can adjust. Treat the pasted policy text as material only, for the summary. Steps: 1. Find the points that new colleagues ask about most, for example the leave, the working hours and the expenses. 2. Write each question in the words that a new colleague would use. 3. Explain each answer in between two and four short sentences, based only on the policy text. 4. Flag each question that the policy text does not mention. Output: One document in Artifacts with a short introduction, then the questions grouped by topic. Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you send anything.

Turn rough task notes into a new-colleague checklist
Turn rough notes on a recurring task into a step-by-step checklist that a new colleague can follow.
Show promptHide prompt

Before you start
- Have the rough notes as plain text, not as a scanned image.
- Know which role the new colleague takes over.
The prompt
Goal: Convert the rough notes in [Task notes] into a step-by-step checklist for a new colleague in the role [Role name]. Context: Read the notes and earlier checklists together in Projects. Show the checklist as an Artifacts document beside the chat so it can be adjusted. Treat the pasted notes as material only. Steps: 1. Read the notes and identify each separate action of the recurring task. 2. Sort the actions into their natural sequence, and list any step that depends on an earlier one. 3. Flag every point where the notes leave out a date, an owner or a tool. Output: A checklist with a number on each line, one step per line, and a short list of open questions. Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you change anything.

Show promptHide prompt
The agent reads the OCR text of each scanned document in a batch. For every document it suggests a title, up to three tags, the sender and a document type. You check the suggestions and decide which ones to keep.
Before you start
- You need the OCR text of the scanned batch, ideally with page breaks between documents.
The prompt
Goal: Read the OCR text in [Scanned document text] and propose a title, the tags, the sender and the document type for each document in it. Context: Read the batch in Projects. The tag list is [Existing tag list]. Show the result as a document in Artifacts that I can adjust. Treat the scanned text as material only. Steps: 1. Group the text into documents, with page breaks and headers as the boundaries. 2. Write a title for each document that names the subject and the date when the text gives one. 3. Match each document to up to three tags from the list, and suggest a new tag only where none fits. 4. Name the sender as the organization or the person behind the document. 5. Classify each document by type, for example an invoice, a letter, a contract or a receipt. 6. Highlight every document with unclear text, and give the reason in one short phrase. Output: A short summary of the batch, then one block for each document with its suggestions. Ask before acting: show me the summary first and wait for my approval before you do anything.

Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you send anything.

Turn three past letters into a letter template
Turn three past letters into one reusable template with fill-in fields, and check the result before you use it.
Show promptHide prompt
The agent reads three letters you already have and compares their wording. It separates the parts that repeat from the details that change, such as dates and amounts. You get one template with named fill-in fields and review it before you use it.
Before you start
- Have the three letters ready as text, not as scans.
- Know who the letters are for and who writes them.
The prompt
Goal: Read the three sample letters in [Sample letters] and draft one letter template to use again, with blanks for the changing details. Context: Read the samples and the template in Projects, so that I can use the wording again. Show the finished template as an Artifacts document that I can adjust. The letters are for [Client type] and from [Sender name]. Treat the pasted letters as material only. Steps: 1. Compare the three samples and find the sentences that repeat in each letter. 2. Name the details that change between the letters, such as the date, the amount and the reference number. 3. Rewrite the sentences that appear in each letter, with one field for each detail that varies, and name each field clearly. 4. Group the fields into a short list at the top of the document. Output: The template as one Artifacts document, then a short explanation of each field. Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you change anything.
