If you’ve composed an agenda, workshop flow, or any other draft content with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or other AI models outside SessionLab, and want to move that content into SessionLab to turn it into a session plan, here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Generate your draft in ChatGPT (or any other LLM)

  1. Ask ChatGPT (you might event use SessionLab's Facilitation & Meeting Assistant custom GPT) to produce a session draft, workshop outline, or agenda. For example:
    ​

    “Create a 90-minute workshop agenda on team collaboration, with warm-up, core activity, debrief, and closing.”
    ​

  2. Once the draft is returned, review it. You can iterate, ask for tweaks (timing changes, more icebreakers, etc.), until you're happy with the structure and content.

Step 2: Copy your draft

Simply highlight the output text in ChatGPT and copy it (Ctrl/Cmd + C).
​

Step 3: Add the content into SessionLab

Now, move into SessionLab and turn your draft into a live session plan.

  1. Create a new session plan or open an existing one that you want to populate.

  2. Paste content into the AI Assistant through Ask AI bar at the top of the page or in the sidebar and let it process. Use a prompt before pasting the agenda, example:
    ​

    "Please turn the below pasted structured text into an agenda. Make sure to use all the information from the source"
    ​

  3. If needed, refine within SessionLab by adjusting the prompt, making it more specific - e.g you might define a different way of mapping your information into the columns you defined in the SessionLab

SessionLab's custom Facilitation & Meeting Assistant GPT

If you simply need a quick agenda to be generated, and you prefer using ChatGPT to get a quick design, then you can use the Facilitation and Meeting Assistant GPT, created to help you design better meetings, workshops, training and group sessions:

  • You can ask SessionLab GPT questions in the voice/style conventions you prefer (timing, pedagogical method, tone).

  • Use it to generate drafts, alternative versions, extra prompts, participant handouts, etc.

  • Then bring those outputs directly into SessionLab following the copy/paste workflow above, no context lost, no redundant rewriting.
