Integration with Productivity Tools

The most productive users rarely "go" to chatgpt.com. Instead, they bring ChatGPT into the tools they are already using.

1. ChatGPT for Notion

Notion AI is built directly into the sidebar.

• Use Case: Summarizing a database, generating a project plan from notes, or "continuing" a draft.
• Pro Tip: Use the /ai command anywhere in a Notion page to trigger the assistant.

2. ChatGPT for Slack

Many teams use "AI Bots" in Slack.

• Use Case: Summarizing a long thread of messages so you can catch up quickly.
• Workflow: Tag the bot (e.g., @chatgpt) in a channel and ask it to summarize the last 20 messages.

3. ChatGPT for Google Docs/Sheets

You can use Add-ons (like "GPT for Sheets and Docs") to run prompts across hundreds of rows at once.

• Google Sheets: =GPT("Summarize this text", A1)
• Google Docs: Use the sidebar to rewrite entire sections of your document.

4. Custom GPTs

OpenAI allows you to build your own "Mini-ChatGPTs" that are pre-loaded with your files and instructions.

• Example: A "Company Policy Bot" that only knows your internal HR documents.

Hands-on: The "Sheets" Challenge

1. Open a Google Sheet and install a GPT add-on (many have free trials).
2. Create a list of 5 product names in Column A.
3. In Column B, use the GPT function to generate a 1-sentence sales pitch for each product.

Key Takeaways

• Built-in AI saves time by reducing tab-switching.
• Custom GPTs allow for specialized knowledge.
• AI in Spreadsheets is the fastest way to process bulk data.
