A Notion consultant uses Notion AI meeting notes on client calls. It transcribes the call and produces a summary of what was discussed and decided, with action items and owners, filed straight into the consultant's own meetings database, with no outside bot joining the call.
From this meeting's transcript, write: a three-line summary, the decisions we made, and a table of action items with owner and due date. Then draft a short, friendly follow-up email to [CLIENT NAME] confirming the next steps.
One office worker who struggles with Excel formulas said Copilot helped them build spreadsheets in minutes that would otherwise have taken days, and in PowerPoint it was handy for making small design changes across lots of slides at once.
In this presentation, [CHANGE, E.G. MAKE ALL SLIDE TITLES THE SAME FONT AND SIZE, AND MOVE THE LOGO TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT] on every slide except [SLIDES TO SKIP]. Then list what you changed so I can check it.
On Hacker News, one worker said his company's weekly update format is a pain, so he keeps notes through the week and sends them to a custom GPT that writes the update in the required template. He spends about ten minutes tidying it, saving a couple of hours.
Turn these rough notes from my week into a weekly update using exactly this template: [PASTE TEMPLATE]. Notes: [PASTE NOTES]. Keep it factual, don't add anything that isn't in my notes, and flag any section where I haven't given you enough information.
On Hacker News, a daily Copilot user said it takes the tedium out of routine office work: writing boring reports and memos to an acceptable standard and finding a single key fact in a long document without skim-reading it.
Using [DOCUMENT NAME], answer this: [SPECIFIC QUESTION]. Quote the relevant passage and give the page or section. Then draft a short memo to [AUDIENCE] summarising the answer in under 200 words.
One user said Microsoft Copilot took a 400,000-line Excel file and a single ten-word prompt and saved him three hours.
In this data, [QUESTION, E.G. WHICH 10 CUSTOMERS HAD THE BIGGEST DROP IN ORDERS THIS YEAR VS LAST?]. Show the result as a table and explain how you worked it out.
One user had ChatGPT write an Excel formula for a billing file he fills in every month, saving him two to three hours of manual work each time.
In Excel, I have [DESCRIBE COLUMNS, E.G. COLUMN A: DATE, B: CLIENT, C: HOURS]. I want [WHAT YOU WANT, E.G. TOTAL HOURS PER CLIENT FOR LAST MONTH IN COLUMN F]. Write the formula, explain each part in plain English, and tell me how to copy it down safely.
One lawyer had Microsoft Copilot read and summarise a Teams conversation, pulled the drafting instructions out of the summary and, after 20 minutes of editing, reckoned it had saved at least five hours of drafting.
Summarise this Teams conversation: [CHAT OR CHANNEL NAME]. List the decisions made, the instructions given to me, any deadlines, and open questions. Then turn the instructions into a numbered checklist I can work from.
A consultant's main CV advice to one jobseeker was to paste the job listing and CV into ChatGPT and ask it to reword the CV to get past automated filters. The jobseeker found that advice demoralising, so treat it as a tool, not a substitute for your own judgement.
Here's a job advert: [PASTE]. Here's my CV: [PASTE]. Show me which requirements in the advert my CV already covers, which are missing or buried, and suggest honest rewording of my existing experience to match the advert's language. Don't invent skills or experience I haven't listed.
Instead of her partner awkwardly playing interviewer, one jobseeker gave Claude the job description, a link to the company's website and her CV, then did a mock interview. She went in far better prepared and got the offer.
You're interviewing me for this role. Job description: [PASTE]. Company website: [LINK OR ABOUT TEXT]. My CV: [PASTE]. Ask me one question at a time, mixing competency, role-specific and tricky questions. After each answer, give brief feedback and a stronger example answer using my real experience. Finish with my three biggest areas to improve.
