I Use ChatGPT-5.6 Sol For All My Work - Testing Sol across files, research, builds, and planning
by•
I tested ChatGPT-5.6 Sol across five real work tasks: multi-file data analysis, hallucination research, long-context writing, website building in ChatGPT Work, and an end-to-end product decision package. The video shows where Sol passed, where it needed edits, where it hallucinated, and whether it is worth using as a daily work model.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
This video is a practical work test of ChatGPT-5.6 Sol.
The question is simple: is Sol actually strong enough to become a daily work model, or should it only be used for harder tasks?
So I tested it across five real workflows with prepared answer keys.
Inside the video, I cover:
- Testing multi-file data analysis with a spreadsheet and PDF report
- Checking KPI accuracy, duplicate rows, and conflicting numbers
- Using live voice to review the result with ChatGPT
- Running a hallucination test on conflicting AI coding assistant research
- Checking whether citations actually support the claims
- Testing long-context instruction following with brand rules and editor feedback
- Building a full website inside ChatGPT Work
- Asking Sol to self-check and fix website issues
- Running an end-to-end product decision project
- Comparing Sol’s final recommendation against the answer key
- Finding where Sol produced a polished but wrong output
- Breaking down whether Sol is safe for daily work
The biggest takeaway is that Sol is very capable, but still needs review.
It can create strong research briefs, roadmap drafts, content plans, file analysis, and internal docs. But when the output involves numbers, citations, priority decisions, or team-level recommendations, manual checking still matters.
Curious to hear from you: would you use ChatGPT-5.6 Sol as your default work model, or only for complex tasks?
One thing that would make this even better is offering a short follow-up email after each session with the exact prompts, tools, and workflows covered, so attendees can revisit and apply them without rewatching the whole recording. It would help busy people actually implement what they learn during the week.
the live demo format is such a smart call — way more useful than another slide deck webinar. love that you guys focus on real workflows people can actually steal and use monday morning.
Love how the structure leans into live demos and real workflows instead of just theory—makes it way easier to actually apply stuff the same day you learn it.
