👨‍💻 NAVIGATING THE PLATFORM: WETHOSXO™️ 

Leveraging Wethos Copilot for individuals, teams and organizations. Helpful tips, troubleshooting and more!

Overview

WethosXOTM is your AI-powered workplace assistant and coach, ready to help you excel in every aspect of your professional life. From navigating complex team dynamics and mastering the art of difficult conversations to preparing for impactful meetings, WethosXOTM has you covered. But wait, there's more! WethosXOTM also brings a touch of fun to the workplace. Dive into this guide's "Fun Section" to discover its playful side!

Accessing WethosXO

  • The WethosXOTM symbol is in the bottom right corner of every page, you can click on it and begin conversations immediately!
  • The full WethosXOTM experience can be accessed by clicking on the link in the left-hand navbar.
  • Connecting your Slack Workspace to Wethos AI (ask your Administrator to do this!) means you can talk to WethosXOTM directly through Slack.

Helpful Tips

  • Make sure you use the @ Symbol: Ask questions about individual team members using the @ symbol: For example: "How can I best communicate with @Sarah?" Once you've @-mentioned a team member, you can then ask a series of questions about working with them without using the @ symbol again, eg “What type of project would Sarah and I do well on together?”
  • @-Mention Multiple Team Members: For instance: "How can I effectively collaborate with @Sarah @John?”
  • Define your Team: Let WethosXOTM know who your teammates are, for example “I am on a team with @Sarah, @John, @Justin and @Chris all reporting to the same boss @Fiona.” You can then ask WethosXOTM questions about the team, eg “Tell me about the dynamics of my team.”
  • Ask About Workplace Scenarios: WethosXOTM has been specifically trained to answer questions about workplace scenarios using the Wethos framework, though because it wants to be helpful it will provide a best effort of answering anything at all, using the Wethos framework where appropriate. 
  • Rate your Responses: There is a thumbs up and thumbs down that appear at the bottom of every WethosXOTM response. Feedback is how WethosXOTM can improve, so please do share. Also if you really love an output there is a copy button so you can share it with your colleagues and friends! 

Getting Started

Once you have completed the assessment, you can get started with WethosXOTM by asking questions about yourself, your team and different workplace scenarios. See below several different example prompts (however, this is not meant to limit how you can utilize WethosXOTM!).

Troubleshooting Techniques

  • Reword Your Prompt: Try phrasing your question in a different way, adding more context, or breaking it down into smaller parts.
  • Provide More Information: Give WethosXOTM more details about your specific situation, team dynamics, and desired outcomes.
