Help me, AlliedGPT

AlliedGPT is customized with AGM-specific prompts to maximize efficiency and relevance. Here are some prompts to try this week:

  • Summarize virtually any content, from PDFs to articles, with this prompt to quickly condense lengthy text.

  • Use this prompt to identify potential media vendors for a given tactic. If needed, you can even use AlliedGPT to compare the pros and cons of vendors.

  • You can use this prompt to create a meeting agenda or a recap. Simply enter your notes, and the bot will produce a version you can share with your team.
