Key Points
- Four-stage writing workflow: Plan → Draft → Revise → Package
- ChatGPT can adapt tone across different audiences from same content

Summary
OpenAI Academy released a comprehensive guide on using ChatGPT for workplace writing tasks. The guide covers drafting from scratch, rewriting content, adjusting tone for specific audiences, and converting rough notes into clear communication.
Key Points
- Four-stage workflow: Plan → Draft → Revise → Package for most writing tasks
- File integration: ChatGPT can work with uploaded files or access files via connected apps
- Tone adaptation: Generate executive summaries, team updates, or customer-facing notes from the same core message
- Context-driven approach: Provide clear goals, audience definition, constraints, and format specifications
- Iterative refinement: Use specific feedback rather than broad requests like "make it better"
- Template prompts: Includes ready-to-use prompts for product launches, executive summaries, process documents, and follow-up emails
Best Practices
- Define assignment goals and target audience upfront
- Provide raw material (drafts, bullet points, meeting notes)
- Specify constraints (word count, tone, jargon avoidance)
- Request structure or outline first for longer pieces
- Verify facts and claims in generated content
