You already know how to use SurfBuddy. If you can explain what you need to a colleague, you can explain it to SurfBuddy.
The Secret? Be Specific About What You Want
Vague requests get vague results. Specific requests get exactly what you need.
| Instead of... | Try... |
|---|---|
| "Find emails" | "Find unread emails from clients this week" |
| "Make a doc" | "Create meeting notes with sections for attendees and action items" |
| "Check my calendar" | "What meetings do I have tomorrow afternoon?" |
The more context you give, the better the result.
Real Examples That Work
Gmail: "Find the receipt from Amazon over $100 from last month"
Sheets: "Add a row with today's date, 'Marketing', and $250"
Docs: "Create a project brief with background, goals, and timeline sections"
Web Explorer: "Summarize the key takeaways from this page"
Calendar: "Schedule a 30-minute call with the team next Tuesday at 2pm"
