Der Kurs vermittelt sehr klar, wie man ChatGPT gezielt für geschäftliche E-Mails und Berichte einsetzt. Die Beispiele waren praxisnah und ich konnte die Techniken sofort in meinem Job anwenden. Besonders die Tipps zum richtigen Formulieren von Prompts fand ich hilfreich.

El curso explica bien cómo usar ChatGPT para redactar correos y reportes de forma más profesional. Me sirvió bastante para organizar mejor mis ideas antes de escribir. Solo hubiera querido más ejemplos de reportes largos.

Solide Einführung, aber für fortgeschrittene Berichte hätte ich mir mehr Tiefe gewünscht.

Dati, natatagalan akong magsulat ng mga business email na hindi tunog robotic, pero malaking tulong ang kursong ito. Natutunan ko kung paano gawing mas malinaw at nakakahikayat ang mga ulat at memo ko. Sobrang praktikal ng mga halimbawa ng prompt na ibinigay. Sana lang mas marami pang sample para sa mahahabang report. Pero sa kabuuan, talagang sulit at ginagamit ko na ito araw-araw sa opisina.

Хороший практический курс, но местами не хватило более сложных примеров деловых писем.

Utilissimo per scrivere email più professionali.

I signed up for this hoping to speed up my email writing, and it delivered way more than that. The course walks through practical prompt structures for everything from quick status updates to longer formal reports, and each lesson builds on the last in a way that actually makes sense. What stood out most was the section on tone adjustment, since I always struggled to sound professional without sounding stiff. By the end I had a small library of reusable prompts I still use every week. Genuinely changed how I approach business writing.

Gute praktische Tipps für professionelle E-Mails mit ChatGPT, auch wenn manche Beispiele etwas zu allgemein waren.
