Give AI access to the work.
Help me set up computer use so you can work with my files and apps. Check what you can access and request the permissions you need, including taking screenshots of my screen, clicking, and typing. If there's a setting or approval I need to handle myself, walk me through it one step at a time. Then help me run a small test so we know it's working.
Use in your desktop assistant. Let it check the tools and permissions available in your current session.
Check each kind of access.
- 01See. Can it describe the sample window from a screenshot?
- 02Act. Can it click a control and type in a scratch document?
- 03Files and apps. Can it open the approved sample and save a result where you asked?
On Mac: Screen Recording enables visibility; Accessibility enables clicking and typing. In ChatGPT Work, enable the Computer Use plugin and review app access. Official setup guide
Prove it with a visible result.
Use computer use to open a new scratch document in an app I approve. Take a screenshot and describe what you see. Click in the document and type “Computer use test — October 6, 2026.” Save it as computer-use-test in a folder I approve. Reopen it and verify the text. Tell me which steps worked and where you needed my help.
Use the Skill on next week’s work.
Use my weekly-report Skill with this new sample tracker. Draft the status report for the week I specify. Flag missing owners or dates. Save the draft for my review and tell me how you checked it. Stop before sending or publishing.
Compare the output with your template. Correct the Skill, then rerun the same sample.
Show it. Test it. Use it again.
