Where to upload a document into ChatGPT

Copy and paste one of the following prompts into ChatGPT, along with your report upload, to get started:

• “Create a summary that highlights the county’s top three [economic]* opportunities and top three [health]* needs. Include and reference data values and data visualizations from the report in the summary. Format the information as a one-page information sheet.”
  
• “Provide a summary of the attached report. Include sections highlighting indicators that are doing well and indicators that need attention. Using actual data values from the attached report, explain why the indicators you chose are either doing well or need attention. Include evidence-based strategies for addressing the worst indicators. Create a [two-page short form summary]*.”
  
• “Create a summary that includes community-focused priorities based on the severity and impact of the data [on the economy]*. Include and reference data values and data visualizations from the report in the summary. Format the information as a [two-page brief]*.”

*to return more targeted results, replace words in [brackets] with terms that align more closely with your goals. For example, instead of “on the economy,” type “on children and families” or “on population health” to narrow the focus.

Once you have a summary that meets your needs, complete a quality assurance check. It is best practice to validate the information provided by ChatGPT before sharing or using it to make decisions in your community.
