  1. Write spreadsheet formulas with AI: describe it, get the formula

    You don't need to know function names. Describe your table and the result you want, and a chat assistant writes the formula.

  2. Get a three-line summary of a long report

    Tell the assistant who will read it and what shape the three lines should take, and a long report comes back as a summary you can pass straight on. This guide also shows how to check its figures against the original.

  3. Write work emails in the right tone: requests, apologies, refusals

    Tell the assistant who you're writing to, what you need, by when and in what tone, and it drafts an email that fits. Worked examples for requests, apologies and refusals, plus what to check before you send.

  4. Turn meeting notes into action items

    Get meeting notes sorted into decisions, open items and action items, without the assistant guessing owners or deadlines, and confirmed by the people who were there.

  5. Let AI do the totals instead of a pivot table

    You don't need to know the PivotTable menus: describe the rows, columns and values, and the assistant writes the formula. The numbers come from the sheet or from code, never from the chat, and you check them against the source.
