A 182-page document. A Friday deadline. A briefing for Miss Tan. In Lesson 3, Si Bodoh uses ChatGPT to understand a long document and turn it into a clear briefing and presentation.

Follow him through a fictional request for proposal (RFP), from identifying the important requirements to checking the evidence, adding company information and preparing two documents that tell the same story.

Si Bodoh checks a short overview against the original 182-page document using page references.
A useful overview points back to its source. See how Si Bodoh checks key requirements against the original document before relying on the summary.

Four things you’ll learn

01 · UNDERSTAND

Find what matters

Ask for a concise overview with page references, covering the scope, deadlines, requirements and questions still to resolve.

02 · VERIFY

Check the evidence

Return to the source document and verify the details that affect the decision. The three checks shown demonstrate the method.

03 · BRIEF

Add the facts AI cannot know

Supply checked company information, then prepare an editable Word briefing that ends with the decisions Miss Tan needs to make.

04 · PRESENT

Turn the briefing into slides

Create a six-slide PowerPoint, then compare it with the briefing so the dates, requirements and advice agree before sending.

Si Bodoh presents a checked briefing and a matching set of presentation slides.
The briefing provides the detail; the slides support the discussion. ChatGPT helps organise the information, while Si Bodoh checks the facts and prepares it for a human decision.
