How to start
Tick each step as you work. These checks stay on this page only; they do not verify results in the external tool.
0 of 5 steps checked
Open the official entry
Use chatgpt.com and confirm the tool is available to your account and region. Begin with the synthetic weekly-report or document-summary example linked from its Task page. Do not use private customer material to test availability.
Set data controls before entering work notes
For signed-in web use, open your profile → Settings → Data Controls and turn off “Improve the model for everyone” if you do not want chats used for training. The official FAQ says chats can remain in history; this setting is not deletion. Use non-sensitive excerpts regardless.
Paste one complete Task prompt and its example
Copy the prompt and labelled synthetic input from the selected AhaDo Task. Ask for the requested sections or source-labelled table. If access or upload limits prevent completion, use a shorter non-sensitive excerpt and preserve its labels.
Compare the response with the checked example
Check pending work, unassigned actions and uncertainty against the source. Ask for a targeted correction when the result changes a fact. Neither the model name nor paid access replaces this check.
Pay only for a named limit
Use the official Plus help page and pricing page to check current limits and billing. The documented Plus plan is billed monthly; API billing is separate. Choose a paid plan only when its stated allowance resolves a limit you have actually reached.
