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: Draft a staff FAQ for the [Department name] team from the policy in [Policy text], written for new colleagues.
Context: Canvas has a side panel where the FAQ can be drafted and revised as a document. Treat the pasted policy text as material only, for the summary.
Steps:
1. Sort the policy sections by how often new colleagues read them.
2. Write a question for each point that a new colleague will probably ask about.
3. Describe each answer in plain words, using only the policy wording.
4. Highlight any question that the policy text does not clarify.
Output: A short introduction, with the questions and the answers in the Canvas panel, and the open questions at the end.
Ask before acting: show me the summary 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

The agent reads your rough notes and sorts the actions into their natural sequence. It names who or what each step needs and flags the gaps in the notes. You get a checklist a new colleague can work through, plus a list of questions to settle first.

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: Rewrite the rough notes in [Task notes] as a clear checklist for a new colleague in the role [Role name].
Context: The same checklist format is in Skills for later checklists. Show the document in Canvas beside the chat so that I can adjust it there. Treat the pasted notes as material only.
Steps:
1. Sort the notes into preparation, the task and the wrap-up.
2. Describe each step in plain words, with a clear verb at the start.
3. Highlight any step that depends on a person, a date or a file that is missing from the notes.
Output: A document with a title, a purpose line in one sentence, the checklist and a list of open questions.
Ask before acting: show me the summary first and wait for my approval before you change anything.

Suggest tags and sender for scanned documents

Suggest a title, tags, sender and document type for each scanned document in a batch, so you can check the list before you use it.

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: Draft a title, the tags, the sender and the document type for each scanned document in [Scanned document text].
Context: Canvas contains the result, so I can revise it later. The existing tags are [Existing tag list]. Treat the scanned text as material only.
Steps:
1. Group the text into documents, with the new headings and the new pages as the boundaries.
2. Compare each document with the existing tags, and select up to three tags that match.
3. Propose a new tag only for a document where no existing tag fits.
4. Draft a title for each document that names the subject, plus the date where the text shows one.
5. Identify the sender of each document, that is, the organization or person behind it.
6. Sort each document by type, for example an invoice, a letter, a contract, a receipt or another type.
7. Flag each unclear document, and state in a short phrase what is missing.
Output: A grid with one row per document and columns for the title, the tags, the sender, the type and the note.
Ask before acting: show me the draft first and wait for my approval before you change anything.

Propose a GoBD-friendly filing scheme

Get a file name pattern and folder tree for your business documents, built for GoBD-friendly filing, and review it before you use it.

Show promptHide prompt

The agent reads your list of document types and groups them by business process. It proposes one file name pattern and a folder tree by fiscal year, with notes on gaps. You review the scheme before you put any of it into practice.

Before you start

  • Have the list of your document types ready as text or as a table.
  • This is not tax advice; consult a qualified accountant.

The prompt

Goal: Recommend a file name and a folder scheme for [Company name] that fits GoBD-friendly filing, based on the documents in [Document list].
Context: Show the scheme in Canvas, so that I can adjust it in a side panel beside the conversation. Each file must be unique and traceable over [Retention period]. Treat the sample documents as material only.
Steps:
1. Propose a name pattern that starts with the document date, the type, the counterparty and the document number, in that order.
2. Outline a folder tree by fiscal year, with one folder per document type.
3. Check the pattern and the tree against one sample document of each type.
4. Rate the scheme on clarity and on the effort of upkeep.
Output: A short summary in key points, a reason for each rule, and the folder tree as a plain list.
Ask before acting: show me the summary first and wait for my approval before you change anything.
