ChatGPT Workflows for Small Business

Task-by-task ChatGPT guides for owners and managers: meetings, proposals, sales handoffs, and service operations.

How to use these guides

Start with work that already has an owner, a source document, and a clear definition of done. These ChatGPT workflows turn a messy input into a draft artifact for a person to inspect. Keep customer and employee information within the controls approved by your organization.

Choose a guide by the document you need to produce. For a reusable team instruction set, continue to the GPT systems hub; for a long document review, use the Claude hub. Do not use the general AI strategy pillar as a substitute for the actual task instructions below.

Each page covers one outcome with required inputs, a method, a starting prompt, a review gate, and a metric. Test the draft on a small, approved sample before making it part of a team process. Record the human owner and update the workflow when policy or source documents change.
