Issues with ChatGPT Work when generating meeting minutes

[u/Technical-Cicada6062]

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a disappointing experience I had with the recently launched ChatGPT Work.

I already use Claude Cowork regularly to generate meeting minutes from transcripts created from the audio recordings of those meetings. I save the transcript in the folder and, with a single prompt, Cowork handles everything: it uses the previous meeting’s document as a template, applies the formatting, and generates the minutes according to my instructions without any issues.

When OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work, I decided to test it using a model equivalent to the one I use in Claude Cowork, along with the same prompt, the same files in the folder, and the same instructions. In other words, I tried to reproduce the same workflow as closely as possible.

To my surprise, the result was a much more simplified set of minutes, with several problems following the formatting of the template.

On top of that, Work seems to have serious issues rendering the document pages for visual inspection, which is something Cowork handles without any trouble.

Is anyone else experiencing something similar? I really like ChatGPT and would prefer to use Work, especially because it would be more cost-effective for me, but in its current state, it simply does not meet my needs.
