Open ChatGPT Work
ChatGPT Work is the current starting point for Improbable Publishing. Other assistants, including Claude, may be considered in the future; they aren’t part of the current getting-started flow.
Your first publication
Bring an idea.
We’ll start there.
You don’t need a finished brief. A few sentences about what you want to make will do.
Connect Improbable Publishing
Use the Improbable Publishing plugin and sign in with your approved UCI account. If you need help finding or connecting the plugin, ask Rhett for the current setup instructions.
Tell your assistant what you have in mind
Describe the purpose, who the site is for, and anything you already know about its content or look. Ask the assistant to use Improbable Publishing.
“Use Improbable Publishing to help me make a website for a workshop. It needs an overview, a schedule, and information for attendees. Help me work through the audience and design before we build.”
Shape, review, publish
Work through content and design together. Review the draft, check links and key interactions, and ask for changes. When it’s ready, ask your assistant to publish it.
Published websites are public. Keep private information and credentials out of the content and published files.
Come back when something changes
Ask your assistant to find your existing site and help update it. The source and version history support ongoing maintenance, whether it’s tomorrow or next semester.
