You're probably already comfortable chatting with an AI. This site shows you how to take the next step: setting up an AI agent that works for you to perform public health tasks with no coding required. Your expertise stays in charge: you write the prompts, you review everything it produces. Things get done faster.
What this is
Agentic AI goes beyond answering questions in a chat. It takes instructions, works through complex tasks step by step, uses tools on your behalf, and produces ready-to-use structured outputs such as policy drafts, dashboards, websites, campaign materials and more.
Follow the general principles of the Claude Cowork setup guide using the AI platform of your choice (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Gemini or other platform) and personalise it so that it knows who you are and how you work.
Choose a platform →Use structured skills and prompts to run public health tasks faster and with less effort. Do things that you would have needed to outsource to somebody else in the past.
Explore use cases →Browse the repository of public health skills and tools contributed by practitioners. Share your own so that other public health professionals can benefit from what you've created.

Each use case comes with step-by-step guidance and examples you can adapt to your own setting.
Draft policy briefs, executive summaries and reports at the right level of detail and in the right tone in minutes, using relevant frameworks and analytical lenses (e.g. upstream, midstream, and downstream analysis; systems thinking; WHO frameworks etc.). AI will learn your preferences over time.
Structured analysis of health problems, interventions, or policy documents using your preferred frameworks and analytical lenses. Analyse what you've been asked to review, or work through a complex problem step by step.
Turn surveillance data, spreadsheets, or reports into interactive dashboards — no specialist software or coding knowledge required.
Quickly build accessible, multilingual websites on specific health topics to test different ideas and iterations.
Prototype and test public health campaign materials and branding; quickly create messages, visuals, and audience-specific content before committing to production.
Summarise systematic reviews, policy documents, and grey literature into clear, structured briefs for decision-makers.

Wait a minute...
If you work in a national health agency, a ministry, an international organisation, or any institution running Microsoft 365, there is a good chance Copilot is already available to you through your enterprise subscription. It lives inside the tools you already use, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams. The Notebooks app in particular (available to those with a Microsoft 365 Premium licence) can be extremely useful.
Repository
The repository is a growing library of AI skills, prompt templates, and tools contributed by public health professionals. It is by no means comprehensive, but I will try to keep it updated and relevant as AI functionality continues to develop quickly. Browse what's there, use what fits, and please consider submitting your own to share with the community.
A customisable assistant that guides you through systems thinking analysis step by step — mapping feedback loops, equity dimensions, and intervention recommendations across upstream, midstream and downstream levels.

Builds visually appealing, accessible, multilingual health campaign pages and websites for specific populations. Choose your target audience, theme, languages, and branding — the skill handles structure, reading level, and design.
