Full transcript
- 0:00Let's talk about projects. Projects in
- 0:03Chat DBT let you collect your files in
- 0:06one focused workplace where we can
- 0:08prompt them. Think of it as a notebook
- 0:10LM from Google just here in OpenAI.
- 0:13However, we don't have audio overviews
- 0:15yet. These projects can't be shared with
- 0:19team members. So, and they're designed
- 0:22for single topic chats. That is because
- 0:24we upload files. To create a new
- 0:28project, I go to new project and then we
- 0:31can give our project a name. I will call
- 0:34this one workplace
- 0:37insights. And I choose to create the
- 0:40project.
- 0:43Then I can add files and instructions.
- 0:47Let's first add some files
- 0:50here. Click add files. And if I go back
- 0:53to the lesson files again in the custom
- 0:55DPTs and projects, I go to HR data. Here
- 0:59I have an absence report of our company.
- 1:02I have an employee satisfying
- 1:04satisfication survey and some exit
- 1:07interviews. Pick these three while you
- 1:09press control on your keyboard. That
- 1:11will select these and then they will
- 1:13upload. You can upload up to 25 file and
- 1:16again you can use PDF, words, excels,
- 1:19text, CSV, JSON, PowerPoints and
- 1:23markdown documents and a few more but
- 1:26those ones were the most accessible. So
- 1:31right now you will see that it has
- 1:34uploaded.
- 1:36It says that file content may not be
- 1:38accessible. As long as it it is data it
- 1:41is accessible. I can check that by
- 1:44closing it here and then I can say what
- 1:48does the
- 1:50absence report say? If I do that I will
- 1:55get a summary. Here you can see it
- 1:58overall absence trend. So that works
- 2:02perfectly.
- 2:04Then
- 2:05to go back to the project I just click
- 2:09over here. This is the project overview.
- 2:12We can also add more files. That is just
- 2:15to go down here and add more files.
- 2:18Let's add some instructions. That is we
- 2:20want to instruct this project how to
- 2:23behave. So if I go here, I could say
- 2:27something like use the
- 2:31provided references
- 2:34to help
- 2:36analyze
- 2:38workplace trends. Focus on
- 2:42summarizing
- 2:45insights,
- 2:46comparing
- 2:48departments,
- 2:50identifying
- 2:53patterns over time, and suggesting
- 2:59practical HR actions
- 3:02when
- 3:05relevant.
- 3:07Keep your
- 3:10responses,
- 3:12concise,
- 3:14structured
- 3:16and
- 3:18professional like this.
- 3:20Then I hit save. Now I told my project
- 3:25how to behave. Then we can start using
- 3:28it again. We can prompt it. Let's say I
- 3:31want to summarize key
- 3:36patterns and
- 3:39concerns
- 3:40across departments
- 3:43based on the
- 3:46employee
- 3:48satisfaction
- 3:53survey.
- 3:57Highlight
- 4:00differences in ratings and recurring
- 4:05themes in comments.
- 4:08Then it will look in my documents.
- 4:12Here you will see that the satisfaction
- 4:14is 3.2 in average 2.9 3.5 3.3 and
- 4:18operations 3.6 and engagement leadership
- 4:20trust and career growth. Then we have
- 4:24some recurring team themes in the
- 4:26comments from uh the exit themes
- 4:29positive notes and concerns. Then we
- 4:33also have suggested HR actions for
- 4:36example like a career growth framework
- 4:38prioritize career development and
- 4:40feedback structures for finance and IT
- 4:44again to add in a new prompt in a new
- 4:47context. Then I just go over here to the
- 4:50workplace insight. You can also see that
- 4:52the old chats are showing up here in the
- 4:55project.
- 4:56If I go up here, it took a little bit
- 4:59too long to just write. I can also click
- 5:01the microphone,
- 5:04analyze monthly absence trends by
- 5:07department, identify any outliers or
- 5:11concerning patterns, and suggest where
- 5:13further investigation might be needed.
- 5:21Then it will
- 5:24do voice to text. Much easier to talk
- 5:29than it is to write. Especially if you
- 5:32sit in a lonely office like me. I don't
- 5:34disturb anyone. Now it will analyze all
- 5:37the data in the workplace.
- 5:40And then it will here we have it.
- 5:43concerning patterns and outliers. HI
- 5:45department significant spikes in absence
- 5:47days during September. I can also choose
- 5:49to follow up by visualizing the things.
- 5:54Let us go to a new chat. Let's say I
- 5:57also want to for example answer an
- 5:59email. Then I can go to the lesson
- 6:02files. I go into custom GPTs and
- 6:05projects into the HR data. Here I have
- 6:07an email. Yes, in the real world this
- 6:09would be an Outlook but it will be the
- 6:11same. I just copy the email. I want help
- 6:15to reply on that. And here I can use my
- 6:20workplace. Here I can just say
- 6:23help me answer this email. Shift enter
- 6:28two times. Say controlV paste in the
- 6:31email. Now I get a nice answer. Here's a

- 6:38makes sources for example from the exit
- 6:40exit interviews. really nice. I can
- 6:43further brainstorm with it. And finally,
- 6:45let me go up to workplace insights. Here

- 6:56project files and with the instruction
- 6:58here. So if I take on my headphones,

- 7:29employees felt there was a lack of
- 7:31growth opportunities and a missing
- 7:33feedback culture.
