Open in new tab
How to use
1
Ask a question
Ask a plain-English question (e.g., “Can I paste customer data?”, “Can I publish AI-generated content?”).
2
Get your answer
You’ll get Yes / No / It depends / I don’t know based on the sample policy, with a reason and reference.
Good test prompts
“Can I upload a CSV with employee details to summarise it?”
“Am I allowed to post AI-generated code to GitHub?”
“Can contractors use ChatGPT with our internal documents?”
“Do I need approval before publishing AI-generated marketing content?”
When you build your own GPT, replace the sample policy with your organisation’s policy PDF and follow the steps in this guide.

Upload your policy

"Can I paste customer data to summarise it?"
"Am I allowed to publish AI-generated content externally?"
"Can contractors use ChatGPT with our data?"
"Do I need approval before posting AI-generated code on GitHub?"
"Can I upload a CSV with employee details?"
