TLDR;
This video reveals how to use ChatGPT more effectively by employing strategies used by top professionals. It emphasizes moving beyond basic question-answer interactions to using ChatGPT as a dynamic system. The key strategies include building context vaults, using web browsing for research, creating prompt templates, developing custom GPTs, leveraging image analysis, batch processing tasks, iterative prompting, knowledge extraction, practicing difficult conversations, and designing systems and workflows.
- Build context vaults for personalized and organized conversations.
- Use web browsing for real-time research and save it in structured formats.
- Create prompt templates for consistent and efficient results.
- Develop custom GPTs for specialized tasks tailored to your needs.
- Utilize image analysis for strategic insights and problem-solving.
- Implement batch processing for repetitive tasks to save time.
- Engage in iterative prompting for refining outputs to meet specific needs.
- Extract and organize knowledge from various sources for active learning.
- Practice difficult conversations through roleplay for increased confidence.
- Design systems and workflows to automate and optimize processes.
Building Context Vaults [0:19]
The first step is to create a context vault within ChatGPT by actively feeding it information about your role, goals, preferences, and communication style. This allows ChatGPT to tailor future conversations to your specific needs without repetitive explanations. You can also use projects to create separate context vaults for different areas of your life, such as business planning, personal projects, or travel, to keep information organized and relevant.
Web Browsing for Research [2:27]
ChatGPT can search the web and compile research, saving hours of manual work. By using the GPT5 model with web browsing enabled, ChatGPT can pull real-time information from the web. You can refine the research by asking specific questions related to your situation and save the research as a PDF or structured document for future reference.
Creating Prompt Templates [3:45]
Instead of throwing random prompts at ChatGPT, create reusable prompt templates for frequently performed tasks like writing emails, social media posts, or video scripts. By answering questions about your preferences and the type of content you need, ChatGPT can build a custom prompt that you can save and reuse, ensuring consistent results.
Developing Custom GPTs [5:26]
Custom GPTs allow you to create specialized versions of ChatGPT trained for specific tasks. You can build your own GPT by providing instructions and uploading examples of your past work so it learns your style. This custom GPT becomes your go-to tool for that specific task, providing more accurate output than regular ChatGPT.
Leveraging Image Analysis [7:03]
ChatGPT can analyze images and provide strategic insights. By uploading an image and asking specific questions, you can get detailed analysis and suggestions. For example, you can upload a screenshot of a website layout and ask for design principles or upload a photo of your workspace and ask for reorganization suggestions.
Batch Processing Tasks [8:06]
Instead of performing tasks one by one, use batch processing to complete multiple tasks at once. For example, if you need to write 10 social media posts, provide all 10 topics at once and ask ChatGPT to generate all the posts in one go. This saves time and reduces the back-and-forth process.
Iterative Prompting [9:07]
The first output from ChatGPT is never the final output. Push it further by providing feedback and asking for revisions. Instead of starting over from scratch, refine the output through multiple rounds of prompting to get closer to exactly what you need.
Knowledge Extraction [10:13]
Use ChatGPT to extract and organize knowledge from various sources like podcasts, books, and articles. By uploading the transcript or URL, you can ask ChatGPT to extract the most important insights and provide a summary and practical ways to apply them.
Practicing Difficult Conversations [10:51]
Use ChatGPT to roleplay difficult conversations before they happen. By typing out the scenario and asking ChatGPT to play the role of the other person, you can practice responding and get feedback on what to say and not say.
Designing Systems and Workflows [11:49]
Use ChatGPT to design systems and workflows for your life or business. By describing your current process and asking for improvements, ChatGPT can identify bottlenecks and suggest specific tools and workflows to optimize your processes.
