Collect context in Google Docs

LLMs are far more useful when you give them sufficient context.
To do this, I use a handful of Google Docs. For example:
- I keep weekly, monthly and quarterly plans in one big doc.
- Every major project I work on has a "project sheet". This doc is a hub for project management, and it's also a great resource for LLMs. On the margin I put more information into the project sheets (using tabs) instead of creating separate docs.
- I have a "meeting doc" for everyone I work with.
- I maintain an "about me" doc.
Storing context in Google Docs makes it easier to use multiple LLMs, and to share context docs with collaborators.
In Claude, you can attach a Google Doc to a project (and Claude can see changes you make to the doc after you attached it). You can also paste a Google Doc URL directly into the conversation box.
In ChatGPT, you can't attach a Google Doc to a project. You have to add them to each chat thread.
If you use BetterChat, you can add docs to a Claude or ChatGPT chat by pressing Ctrl+G.
