One Pager

Big Decisions/one page

There is a famous quote “If I Had More Time, I Would Have Written a Shorter Letter.” (Paradoxically this has been attributed to a LONG list of really smart people: Mark Twain, Ben Franklin, Winston Churchill etc.) The idea being that writing concisely is significantly harder than blabbering on. Use this prompt to boil an entire long doc into a one-pager.

Project/Idea Text: {Bring back Clippy the Microsoft word helper, but power it with ChatGPT}

Output From ChatGPT

Operation: Clippy 2.0

Objective: To bring back the beloved Microsoft Word helper, Clippy, and update it with the latest natural language processing technology to create an AI-driven assistant for users.

Hypothesis: Users will be delighted by the new and improved Clippy, as it helps them navigate the Microsoft Word programs and offers personalized advice based on their writing. This will provide a unique and hard-to-copy margin-enhancing experience, as other programs will not have this same AI-driven assistant.

Resources Required: Engineers will need to develop the AI capabilities to power Clippy, while designers will create a user-friendly interface for the AI-driven assistant. Product marketers will need to create campaigns to introduce users to the new Clippy.

Timeline: The initial development for Clippy will take two weeks, followed by two weeks of testing and bug fixes. After that, there will be a two-week period for fast follows, where any additional features or fixes will be implemented. Finally, there will be a two-week period for product marketing and user engagement.

What does success look like for customers:

"I no longer need to worry about navigating Microsoft Word or the internet, because Clippy 2.0 is there to help me every step of the way. It provides personalized advice based on my writing and makes the entire process of using Microsoft Word easier and more enjoyable." - John, 25.

What does success look like for the business: The success of Clippy 2.0 will be measured by the number of users who adopt and regularly use the AI-driven assistant. If Clippy 2.0 is successful, we will see a marked increase in user engagement with Microsoft Word, as well as a boost in customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Steps if fail/succeed: If Clippy 2.0 is successful, we will continue to refine and update the AI-driven assistant to ensure that it meets the needs of all users. If it fails, we will need to identify the areas where users are struggling, and then develop new features or make changes to the existing AI-driven assistant to improve user engagement.
