Seven sheets and 13 slides from the cheapest setting: the two-step guide and the exact prompts I use for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.

Claude Fable 5.1 is a knowledge work monster!

TL;DR

  • Fable 5.1 can be used for knowledge work by starting on a 'Low' effort setting and increasing to 'High' or 'Extra' for tasks requiring judgment.
  • The 'Low' setting is sufficient for initial draft generation, making it cost-effective to iterate on work.
  • Knowledge work requires more human judgment than coding because AI tools lack robust feedback mechanisms for argument quality or assumption validity.
  • The author shares specific prompts for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, along with lessons learned about Fable 5.1's capabilities and limitations.
  • Building spreadsheets, decks, or written content with AI assistance helps the user better understand the business, refine the narrative, and solidify their own beliefs.
