Scenario 47: Preparing for a new role step by step

Who and in what situation

Kerem, who is starting a new role as a quality coordinator at a fictional manufacturing company, wants to identify gaps in his knowledge by studying the job description and process handbook.

How it is done today

Kerem reads the handbook on his own, looks up terms and sends his notes to a colleague for review.

How to do it with AI

1. In a regular ChatGPT conversation on the web, type @study or select + > study > Study. This option is not available in Temporary Chats, GPTs or Projects. [89]
2. Upload the permitted PDF; state your level, your goal and how much time you can set aside. Study mode can work with uploaded material. [89]
3. Ask it to explain concepts from simple to complex, ask a question after each section and wait for your answer. [89]
4. For incorrect answers, ask for a hint, then a new example and finally a review list.

Example prompt

Use the {document_name} resource I uploaded for the {role_name} role I have just started. I am a beginner. First, create a {target_duration}-minute plan, then explain a single concept and ask a question. Wait for my answer. If I am wrong, give me a hint. Do not invent company rules or processes that are not in the source.

Evidence and real-world example

No company case study was found; the basis is Study mode’s features for asking questions, providing layered explanations, using files and checking understanding. [89]

Points to consider

Although Study mode is available on all plans, model, message and upload limits are subject to the standard plan rules. [89] It can make mistakes; check high-risk information in areas such as health, law and finance. [89] OpenAI recommends verifying important information. [91]
