After the free lessons
Three things you can do at work this week
Each one is taught in a free lesson. The first lesson takes about 6 minutes.
- Lesson 1
Get a straight answer
Ask the AI for the parts you might not want to hear, and how sure it is, so you know when to double-check.
- Lesson 2
Write an email you can send
Tell it who the email is for, what you need, the tone and the length. You get a draft that is close to ready.
- Lesson 3
Find the decision in a long thread
Paste a long email thread and ask what is being decided and who is holding it up.
