30 Things You Didn't Know ChatGPT Could Do

Learn about 30 Things You Didn't Know ChatGPT Could Do,
 including leveraging it's huge potential with A1! Things like creating content and support with coding etc, to brainstorming business ideas and personal coaching, we are going to discover the undiscovered roles and capabilities of ChatGPT for us. See how many of these ideas might help you think about clever ways to use ChatGPT that could free up time, make you more creative, and ultimately enhance your life!

 I want to point something out. Most people are using ChatGPT wrong. They simply throw random questions at it and get an average result. After working with thousands of creators at my YouTube agency I have figured some tricks out that allow you to use ChatGPT as a basic chatbot, but instead to unlock it into your personal genius assistant.

Let me clarify, these are not your regular "use better prompts" tips. These are the underground tips that we use on a daily basis to produce 10x results. Are you ready to step up?

 

1.     The Chunking Function

Stop giving ChatGPT massive prompts! It is not a mind reader. Complex requests should be broken down into smaller components.

1. Ask a question, or one clear question

2. Get the response

3. Build out the response with followup questions

For example, instead of "Write me a business plan", do this:

"First, give me an outline for a dropshipping business plan"→Then, "Now, expand the marketing section"→Then, "Finally, add financial projections"

 

2. RolePlaying

Assign a title to the ChatGPT and see what happens:

"Act as a Nobel Prizewinning chemistry teacher, describing ionic bonds to a beginner"

It can work with ANY title, marketing wizard, therapist, even a pirate if that's what you like!

 

3. Chat Organization 101

Is your chat history a complete mess? Two options for resolution:

Rename chats descriptively ("Blog Post Vegan Recipes")

Delete old worthless chats weekly

Pro Tip: We use color-coding at the agency: red for urgent, blue is for research, etc.

 

4. Talk Like a Human

Do not be a robot. Nobody likes "Please generate " nonsense. ChatGPT is able to understand normal language:

Bad: "Create content about dogs"

Good: "I need a fun Instagram post about golden retrievers - make it playful as if we are talking to dog lovers!"

 

5. Chat Mode Temporary

This is kind of like incognito mode for sensitive stuff:

1.   Brainstorming business ideas

2.   Private health questions

3.   Anything you do not want saved

You can find it in settings → toggle ""temporary chat"

 

6. Treasure Chest of Custom Instructions

A lot of people completely miss this! You can tell ChatGPT:

Who you are (student, marketer, etc.)

How you want it to respond (in a formal way, with bullet points, etc.)

We set ours to: "I run a Youtube agency  just give concise, actionable advice, with examples"

 

7. Memory Flush

When ChatGPT starts to get weird, it's reached the limit. You have to flush it at least once per month:

Settings → Personalization → Clear Memory

Think of it as restarting your phone for when it starts acting glitchy, usually fixes 90% of the issues

 

8. Voice Identity

1.   The default voice making you fall asleep? Change it!

2.   Settings → Speech → Select a different voice

3.   My entire team enjoys "Ethan" for serious discussions, and "Sophie" for not so serious

 

9. Privacy is Important!

1.   If you are talking about sensitive matters, TURN THIS OFF!

2.   Settings → Data Controls → Improve Model for everyone

3.   Now your chats will stay private

 

10. Google Drive Integration

This feature is invaluable for content creators:

1.   You can integrate your Drive

2.   Use clear names for your files ("Q3 Marketing Strategy" rather than "Draft 2")

3.   ChatGPT can reference/edit them directly

4.   Saves my agency hours each week

 

11. Turn ON EVERYTHING

You don't want to disable your AI! Turn ON:

Browsing (entire internet)

DALL·E (image creator)

Code interpreter

Settings → Beta Features → Turn ON ALL

 

12. Formatting Requests

If you want it, you will get exactly what you want!

1.   "give me a step-by-step guide and bullet points"

2.   "make a comparison table between X and Y"

3.   "just write in 3 short paragraph's max"

 

13. The 10 Year Old Strategy

Stuck on difficult ideas? Try asking:

"Explain quantum physics to a 10 year old"

Works for ANYTHING  finance, programming, you name it

 

14. Dark Mode FTW :)

Easier on your eyes, especially at night:

Settings → Appearance → Dark Mode

(Or Auto to follow your system)

 

15. Context is King

ChatGPT cannot read your mind. Share:

1.   Your background

2.   Your specific needs

3.   Any details that are unique to you

E.g. "I'm a college senior writing about the impacts of climate change on coastal cities"

 

16. Prompt Doctor

If you're having trouble writing prompts, you can always ask:

"Make this prompt better, and tell me what you changed"

ChatGPT will teach you while fixing your prompts as well.

 

17. Plus, Plus Plus!

1.   GPT4 (so much smarter)

18. Model, Model, Model

You want GPT4 > GPT3.5 for:

1.   "GPT4 with Advanced Data Analysis"

3.   complex math problems

4.   data science

1.   Travel itineraries

2.   Meal plans

3.   Time management

"Make a week schedule for a freelance writer"

 

30. Tips for using DALL·E Images

For the best images:

1.   Be hyper-specific.

2.   Include style (i.e. photorealistic, anime, etc.)

3.   Specify aspect ratio required.

For example "Generate a wide 16:9 image of a cyberpunk city at night with neon lights in the rain."

 

And one final pro tip. You can combine the methods! Example process:

1. Use roleplay ("Act as a marketing expert")

2. Break it down into steps ("First analyze this market...")

3. Specify format required ("Give me a table that compares...")

4. Store successful prompts to utilize again

 

At my agency, we have trained all our writers using the exact same methods. The effect is that scripts which previously took 3 hours are now taking 30 minutes with a better result.
