🌠 Zap your emails to actual summaries?

In tune with the earlier nifty emojis I had mentioned….

Did you know you can use GPT3+ (aka for the most part, the stuff that powers ChatGPT) to product concise summaries of your emails?

As a person who loves using 53 pages where 1 paragraph might sustain, I found:

learnprompting.org/docs/basic_applications/zapier_for_emails

rather nifty:

“….There are a few easy ways to improve your results. Adding context and role prompting can improve the output. However, the topic and contents of your emails might cover a wide range of topics. This means that general instructions will do a better job than very specific ones, which might throw the model off.

For practical reasons, it is useful to give an instruction, followed by telling GPT-3 when the email starts in the prompt by simply adding “Email: ” and ending the prompt with “”Summary”: “. This avoids GPT-3 answering with “Sure! I can summarize it for you…”.

Role prompting can be useful here as well. Asking GPT-3 to act as a personal assistant helps increase the quality of the summary. If you want to summarize work emails, simply adding the role you have gives GPT-3 context to work with. It acts as if it assumes some level of knowledge from the reader, which helps filter out the non-relevant parts of the email. Below we show some examples with emails an office administrator might receive…”

Now, true, you *can* use Zapier for free but chances are, after X number of zaps, the cost might start to rise.

And I also discovered:

embed.trydyno.com/

allows you to embed the same example on your page as well (except, alas part 2, you have to provide your openai key).

Your takeaway?

Soooo many applications for ChatGPT exists….

Why not consider them today?

Enjoy!
