| How to start | Send your message directly | Begin with @BrainTrust so the message is routed |
| Who sees it | Only you | Everyone in the Space |
| Best for | Personal tasks, sensitive work | Team collaboration, shared outputs |
What Good Prompts Look Like
Give the expert a clear goal, relevant context, and the output format you want. Example:“Summarize the Q4 marketing notes from Drive, then draft a status update email for leadership in 5 bullet points by priority. Keep it under 150 words.”
Working With Files
Attach a file and ask a focused question about it.- Attach the file to your message via Gchat uploads option.
- Query your requirement in the message and hit send.
“Attached quarterly-report.pdf. Give me: top 3 risks, top 3 wins, and one recommended next action.”
If Responses Are Off
Try this sequence before escalating:- Restate the task in one sentence — the expert may have lost context.
- Specify the source or tool — e.g. “use the Google Sheet at [link]”.
- Ask for a smaller output first — then expand from there.
- Request a revision — e.g. “rewrite for an exec audience” or “shorten to 5 bullets”.
