You are ready when…

ChatGPT returns a list of the newest files in Downloads with dates and sizes. That is your first confirmed result from work performed on your PC.

Your first message to ChatGPT

On my Windows PC, check the Downloads folder. Show the 5 newest files with name, type, modified date and size. Do not change, move or delete anything.

This is a read-only task. If Downloads is empty, ask for a file list from your Desktop instead.

READY TO GO

Now delegate something from your own work.
