Pull the rules that matter out of a long handbook, with page numbers

Medium · Work · about 20 to 40 min

You'll go from a 60-page handbook to the travel-expense rules on one screen, each with a page you can open.

Example: made up to show the idea.

You're ready if you can check a claim in a source you opened (Lesson 4) and know your workplace rule for files (Lesson 5).

Tool to reach for: Ask your own documents, or a Chat assistant you can attach a file to. Use the tool and account your workplace approves for this file.

Steps

  1. Check that you're allowed to put this handbook into this tool and account.
  2. Attach the handbook, and paste the prompt below.
  3. Open each page the reply gives, and find the quoted words. No page numbers? Go to the heading it names.
  4. Ask one question you know the handbook doesn't answer.
  5. Write the checked rules into your note for your new colleague.

Prompt to copy

From the attached handbook only, list the rules on claiming travel expenses. For each rule, give the page number, or the heading it sits under if there are no page numbers, and quote the sentence it comes from. If the handbook doesn't cover something, say "not in the file". Keep it to the rules a new starter needs first.

What good output looks like

A short list, each rule with a page or heading and a quote. For your test question in step 4, the reply says "not in the file".

Check before you trust it

Watch for: a rule whose page or heading doesn't say it.

For each rule, open the page or heading given. Search the file for the quoted words.

  • Pass: every quote is on the page, or under the heading, given, and your test question gets "not in the file".
  • Fail: a quote you can't find, a wrong page or heading, or an answer to the test question. Cut that rule, or find the right place yourself.

What goes wrong

The quote sounds like the handbook, so you skip opening the page. A quote the tool predicted looks just like a real one (Lesson 4).

Learn the idea

Try it on your own task

Pick a long document you're allowed to share with your tool. Ask for the rules on one topic, with pages or headings, and quotes.
