Why a planning chat gets hard to use
Plenty of people in the middle of their working lives use AI now: in an average four-week period during the March quarter of 2026, 72% of Australians aged 35 to 49 used AI tools, according to Roy Morgan. If you run a small business, you may use a chat for planning.
The trouble is that a chat keeps everything in order, including the decisions you later reversed. Nothing tells you which version stands.
AI isn't your accountant.
Use AI to think a plan through. For tax, legal, insurance or employment questions, check with the ATO, Fair Work, your accountant or a qualified adviser.
What a decisions memo shows
- What's decided: the choices that still stand.
- What changed along the way, and from what.
- What was set aside: the ideas you dropped.
- What doesn't add up: two decisions that contradict each other, like a budget that doesn't fit the plan.
Make one by hand
- Go through the chat and list every decision.
- Cross out the ones you later changed, and write the new version.
- List what you dropped.
- Read the list for contradictions.
The faster way: Memo, in Uncook
Uncook's Memo reads the chat and gives you that document. On the ChatGPT page, click the Uncook icon and pick Memo. You get what's decided, what changed along the way, what was set aside and what doesn't add up.
Planning spread across several chats? Pick them together. The memo shows where they agree, where they differ, and what's still open.
The task cost is shown in the tool box below. Copy it, export it to PDF, Markdown, text or Word, or share it as a page with your business partner.
Questions people ask

We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
