Find onboarding information in Dropbox Dash

Let's step into that new hire shoes for a little while. I just got hired by DX Health, and I opened up my email this morning to find a welcome email with one link and an assignment to page through the resources and complete some of the items on an onboarding checklist contained within that link. This is refreshing. I've never started a new job that didn't come with five different emails and a vague directive to poke around. On a day when I'm already feeling a little overwhelmed, simplicity of one link is really reassuring.

Once I click that link, I'm presented with this collection of information, which according to HR, contains an onboarding checklist for me to use. It's really nicely laid out, but I'm feeling a little frazzled from the general stress of a new job. So let's go ahead and ask Dash. Immediately, I can see that I can summarize this stack or create an executive summary, but let's see if it can find me that onboarding checklist.

So Dash will start to think and pull together information from within the stack, and it looks like it tells me exactly what it's doing. It'll search for the onboarding checklist, and of course you can see within the stack.

Right away, it tells me that the best match is DX Health Systems onboarding checklist. And even better, it gives me an overview of what that is going to look like broken down week by week. Then last, it offers me the chance to pull together a checklist or copy into a doc. Now that I have a good understanding of the steps that I need to take to start my onboarding journey, I want to dig into some of these specific documents.

So as I scroll through, I think I'll use the summarize and ask feature.

Dash Chat is going to think for a couple of seconds about what it needs to tell me about the file, and then I'm given a great overview and a couple of suggestions on where to go next. So as you can see, I can interact with the summarization of the document. All of this information is really helpful, and I definitely like reading summaries more than I enjoy reading the full doc. I feel like that's an essential part of working smarter, But I'm impatient to make my mark on this company and build my brand and really make a difference. So I think maybe I can leverage Dash's information to turn it into action.

I've challenged it to set my priorities. I asked Dash what would be the most impactful action I could take to successfully onboard today and be productive.

Dash shows me the highest impact thing that I could have would be to have a focused conversation with my manager. This will align short term priorities, it cites its sources, and offers to pull together an alignment questions in a quick one to one checklist. So not only does Dash give me a plan, but it cites its sources along the way and closes with a simple task.

With Dash being more chat first, this becomes the primary way that people interact with their content, onboarding and beyond. We've even built different models into chat to solve for the nuances of the tasks that you'll want to use it for.
