Give ChatGPT
the assignment.
You’ve practiced building useful work through conversation. When the outcome is clear, you can put that direction into one complete assignment.
FIGURING IT OUT?
Work with ChatGPT.
Ask, review, add context, steer, and verify as the work takes shape.
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED?
Give it the assignment.
Describe the result, provide context, set constraints, and explain how the information should be checked.
The same ingredients. More execution delegated.
The assignment below combines the role, purpose, direction, deliverable, and verification expectations you practiced. Relevant files or notes can be provided too, when you have them.
For this optional exercise, adapt the team and matchup, then give the assignment to ChatGPT Work. If you start a separate conversation, include any earlier research or source material you want it to use. Don’t assume the new assignment already has it.
Where to find Work
In the ChatGPT desktop app, the toggle above the composer selects Chat or Work. Use Work for this optional exercise if it is available in your account.

If you don’t have Work available, you can still read this example and practice giving a complete assignment in ChatGPT.
Game Day Broadcast Card
Example: Washington Commanders. Change the team and specify a date if “this week” doesn’t fit your game.
I am the color commentator for this week’s Washington Commanders game. Create my Game Day Broadcast Card for the upcoming matchup. Make it concise, easy to scan during a live broadcast, and written for a color commentator. Include: • Game in One Sentence: the central theme of the matchup • 5 Things I Need to Know: the five most important points to keep in front of me • 3 Matchups to Watch: player or unit matchups that could shape the game • 3 Numbers That Matter: useful statistics I may want to mention on air, with enough context to explain why each matters • Latest Developments: injuries, lineup changes, or other recent developments that could affect the game • Watch Early: three things I should look for in the first quarter that may tell us how the game is developing • On-Air Talking Points: three short observations written naturally enough that I could actually say them during the broadcast Use only information that has been supported by the research and sources. Do not invent or assume missing facts. Place a source next to important factual claims. If something has not been sufficiently verified, mark it CHALLENGE FLAG instead of presenting it as fact. Keep the entire card short enough to use as a quick-reference sheet during the game.
The Challenge Flag still belongs to you.
Inspect the card. Does it meet the assignment? Open a source behind an important claim. Check the date, distinguish fact from interpretation, and resolve any CHALLENGE FLAG before relying on it.
Delegation changes how much execution you hand over. Human review remains part of the work.
