Intro [0:00]
Most people use ChatGPT as a smarter search engine, missing out on its powerful features that can significantly boost productivity. The video aims to show these features and how to use them effectively, which are unknown to 90% of users.
Free vs. Paid [0:27]
ChatGPT offers a free version and two paid tiers: $20 and $200 per month. The video will highlight features available in the free version and discuss the benefits of the paid version to help users decide if the upgrade is worth the cost. A special feature for Apple users will also be presented.
Custom GPTs [0:51]
The free version of ChatGPT allows access to custom GPTs, which are like plugins that extend its functionality. One example is Canva, which can be used to design thumbnails. By using Canva as a plugin, users can ask ChatGPT to create designs and then open and edit them directly in Canva.
Siri + ChatGPT [1:48]
Apple users can replace Siri with ChatGPT by going into the settings menu under Apple Intelligence and enabling ChatGPT. This allows Siri to delegate tasks it cannot handle to ChatGPT. Users can ask Siri to perform tasks using ChatGPT, such as writing a YouTube script or creating a note, which will be saved in Apple Notes.
Canvas [3:13]
Canvas mode, available for free users, is activated by starting a prompt with the word "canvas." This mode provides a split-screen format that is useful for writing or working with code. It allows users to collaborate with ChatGPT and directly edit the generated content, similar to sharing a Google Doc.
Temporary Chat [4:21]
ChatGPT offers a temporary chat mode to address privacy concerns. This mode, accessible via a dotted chat bubble icon, functions like an incognito mode, ensuring that prompts and information are not saved or used for model training. Users can also adjust data controls in settings to prevent ChatGPT from storing data or using it to improve the model. These settings include disabling model improvement and turning off memory and chat history.
Voice Mode [7:21]
Voice mode allows users to converse with ChatGPT as if it were another person. Located next to the microphone icon in the chat box, this feature enables interactive conversations for rehearsing job interviews or presentations. ChatGPT can provide feedback on responses and presentation skills.
Visual Analysis [9:07]
ChatGPT can visually analyze images to understand their content. For example, a user can upload a screenshot of their calendar and ask ChatGPT to suggest optimal times for scheduling tasks. This feature can be more effective than directly connecting a Google Calendar.
Paid Features [10:17]
The paid version of ChatGPT offers additional features that may be useful for average users. One notable feature is the ability to share your screen with ChatGPT, available on the iPad and iPhone.
Share Screen [10:37]
The screen sharing feature in the paid version allows users to show ChatGPT what they are looking at in real-time. By using the camera icon in the app, users can ask ChatGPT to identify objects or answer questions about their surroundings. This is particularly useful when users are out and need information about something they are viewing.
Projects [11:58]
The paid version of ChatGPT includes a "projects" feature, which allows users to organize their chats into folders based on specific topics. This helps keep conversations organized, unlike the free version, which lists chats randomly. Users can also customize responses within each project, ensuring that ChatGPT responds appropriately to the topic.
Tasks [14:16]
The "tasks" feature in the paid version allows users to automate routine tasks. By starting a prompt with the word "tasks," users can instruct ChatGPT to perform specific actions regularly, such as providing daily AI news updates. This can save time by automating repetitive tasks.
Outro [15:24]
Both the free and paid versions of ChatGPT offer numerous features that can enhance productivity. Users are encouraged to explore and experiment with these features. The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their favorite features and how they plan to use them in the comments.
