Generic chatbot vs your co-pilot
The difference is context
ChatGPT is a great general tool. The co-pilot is the same idea, pointed at your real team, with the answer saved where you manage.
Plain ChatGPT
- Starts from a blank box every time
- You re-explain your team, roles and history on every prompt
- Gives solid general advice, with no idea who Maya or Tom are
- The answer disappears when you close the tab
Ask Simon, in the co-pilot
- Already knows your team, their goals and their levels
- Pulls your real 1-1 notes, feedback and concerns into the answer
- Writes SMART KPIs and 70/20/10 plans straight back onto each person
- Keeps the rhythm going week to week, so nothing slips
