Ep 86 - Replicating A Document With ChatGPT

Author: Cary Weston September 16, 2025 Duration: 15:14

Episode Summary

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston tackles a common question: How do I replicate a document, memo, or report using ChatGPT to save time and make the process easier? Cary shares real-world tips on how to reverse-engineer repetitive documents and set up a system with ChatGPT that can help you build those same documents faster in the future. Whether your data lives in meeting transcripts, other documents, or just in your head, Cary walks through how to create a repeatable template that ChatGPT can use again and again.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Start with consistency: The more consistent your document layout and format, the easier it is for ChatGPT to reverse-engineer it into a repeatable template.

  • Use the 4-part formula: Always tell ChatGPT (1) what you're doing, (2) why you're doing it, (3) what success looks like, and (4) ask if it has any questions.

  • Let ChatGPT interview you: If the content lives in your head, use ChatGPT's voice mode to speak your ideas out loud and let it organize your thoughts into a polished draft.

Cary offers customized one-on-one ChatGPT training in 60 minute sessions. Find out more information on the sessions, answers to frequent questions, and how to register at www.ChatGPTExperiment.com
