What we cover
1
Where we are with ChatGPT
A clear picture of what ChatGPT does well, its current limits and how it compares to Copilot and Claude.
2
What are charities are doing with it
Real examples from across sector: comms drafts, meeting summaries, donor communications and repetitive admin.
3
Prompting
Character, Context and Clarity, worked through live, with participants building a prompt for a real task from their own role.
4
Work mode
Building simple, reusable setups so staff aren't starting from scratch every time.
5
Risks, limitations and what's next
Data privacy, accuracy and safe use, plus a top-level look at where the tool is heading.
Your team is already using ChatGPT. They're just not getting much out of it.
-
People type one-line prompts and settle for whatever comes back
-
Nobody's shown staff how to build or reuse a good prompt
-
There's no consistency, so results and quality vary wildly
-
Leadership has no visibility into how or where it's actually being used
-
Free-tier habits are creeping into how sensitive material gets handled
This session takes staff from casual, inconsistent use to a confident, repeatable way of working with ChatGPT, built entirely around real charity tasks.
