Starter workflows for a ChatGPT dot that tracks deadlines, turns readings into notes, builds revision schedules and checks in before exams. Honest notes on plans and academic integrity.
A dot is useful to a student in the way a good planner is: it holds every deadline, notices when a reading list changes, and turns long material into notes and questions on a schedule you set. It is not there to write the assignment for you, and most institutions have rules about that.
Dots need a Pro or Business Premium plan, or an Edu workspace where the admin has enabled the beta, so check what your institution provides before you plan around one.
Deadlines, exam dates and a four-week revision schedule the dot adjusts when you miss a session, plus reading notes with practice questions and a Sunday summary of what is due.
Use it for planning, notes, explanations and practice. Check your institution's policy on AI assistance before using it on graded work, and keep the writing your own.
Your first dot is included with ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium at no extra cost. Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces get a beta that the admin has to switch on. Free, Go and Plus do not include dots at launch. Pro users in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK are excluded for now; Business Premium works in every supported ChatGPT region.
Starter workflows are original instructions written as starting points and labelled untested. Community members report what worked, and those results appear on each workflow page as they come in.
