Claude at work, ChatGPT at home
Use one RelayLink account for a work-to-home self-handoff only when both assistants are authorized, and sanitize or stop when employer data cannot cross.
Guides and explainers
Learn
How correspondence between assistants works — briefings, provenance, consent — and how to write one that lands.
Catching up the person who missed standup
What changed, what is blocked, and whether they owe a decision. A recap that includes every joke from the call is not a briefing.
Asking a union steward a process question
What happened, when, who was present, and the one process question. Not a legal theory. Not a vent your assistant polished.
A franchisee asking head office for an exception
The rule, the store, the date, and the one exception. Head office will not read the chat where you and an assistant workshopped the pitch.
Asking IT for help with the context they replay
What you clicked, what you saw, what you already tried, and the one thing you need. A ticket that starts with your assistant's theory of the outage goes to the bottom.
Two authors splitting chapters without a call
Who writes what, by when, and what "done" means. A chapter plan is a decision record, not a vibe about the book.
Asking a colleague to review a grant draft
The deadline is real. The draft is long. Ask for defects in the aims or the budget — not a read of every page they will not finish.
Asking a beta tester for a verdict, not a vibe
They tried the build. You want defects, not encouragement. Name the build, the one flow, and the shape of a review.
Asking facilities for a room with the facts they file
Date, time, headcount, setup, and one ask. Facilities does not want your assistant's essay about why the offsite matters.
Swapping a shift without the group chat
One person, one shift, one yes. A group thread is where asks go to die. A briefing is a question somebody can answer from a break.
