I Finally Figured Out How To Use Chatgpt Work Mode For Something Actually Productive

’m genuinely so happy with what I made today that I wanted to share it here.

I’m an artist in Maui, and I got an inquiry for a pretty unusual corporate event concept - potentially 500-600 guests collaborating on one large painting. After a call with the event planner, the idea evolved into a giant wave where guests would add their fingerprints/thumbprints into the foam and different blue tones, so everyone contributes to one finished piece.

The client is Snapdragon/Qualcomm, and their event theme is basically about the power of partnerships, so the collaborative painting ended up fitting the concept surprisingly well.

I used ChatGPT to help me think through the experience, pricing, logistics, alternative guest keepsakes, copy, visuals, and then finally used Work Mode to turn the whole thing into an actual interactive proposal website:

I’ve used ChatGPT for writing, brainstorming, emails, etc. for a long time, but this was the first time Work Mode really clicked for me as a practical business tool. Instead of ending up with another document or a bunch of ideas sitting in a chat, I ended the day with something polished that I could actually send directly to a client.

No idea if I’ll get the gig. ????

But even if I don’t, I’m really happy with the result - and maybe even happier that I finally learned a new workflow that I can see myself using again and again for custom proposals and creative projects.

That little transition from “ChatGPT helped me think about something” to “ChatGPT helped me actually build the thing I needed” felt pretty significant.
