Assemble licence and grant applications from scattered files in hours

A Denver social club for parents, opening a second location, connected its email, chat and drive to ChatGPT so it could gather documents, spot what was missing and convert files for a liquor-licence application on short notice. The same workflow is used for grant applications.

Reported results

  • The source reports grant applications taking 2 hours instead of 3 days, the licence pack 3 hours instead of 4 days, and 10–15 hours a week saved by the leadership team.
