ChatGPT Masterclass: Practical AI Workflows for Research, Creativity & Productivity

1. Welcome to the ChatGPT Masterclass!: Welcome to this class. ChatGPT has quickly become one of the most powerful tools available for thinking, creating, researching, and working smarter. But only if you know how to use it properly. Typing a question is easy. Getting useful, reliable, repeatable results is the real skill. In this course, you will learn how to use ChachiPT confidently and not just as a chatbot, but as a creative assistant, research partner, productivity tool, and automation engine. Start from the very beginning, setting up your account, understanding the interface, and learning how hhiPT actually works. From there, we'll move into prompting fundamentals, advanced tools like vision, browsing, reasoning, canvas, and voice mode, and then into real world workflows that you can reuse again and again. You see how ChatGPT can help you research topics efficiently, Brainstorm business and content ideas, plan real projects like a Youtube channel, write stories and creative prompts, generate and edit images, analyze data and spreadsheets, automate tasks with tools like Zapier, and even build your own Custom GPTs. Hi. I'm Kim Tiborska, a designer and a creative who has spent years blending design, content and emerging tech into real world workflows, and I will be guiding you through this journey. I have used Chachi PT extensively across research, creative work, automation, and content production. And my goal here is to help you think with the tool and not fight against it. You don't need any prior AI technical experience to take this class. If you can open up your browser and type, you are ready to start. By the end of this course, you won't just know what HachiPT can do. You will know how to apply it intentionally across work, creativity, and everyday life. Let's get started. 2. Account Setup & Interface Tour : So you're going to have to create your own account. You can start by clicking on the sign up button and continue from here. So you can either connect your GML or your Microsoft account directly or even continue with Apple, or you can just put in your email right here. You can use any password as long as it is safe, so it has to be at least 12 characters, some capital letters, and possibly some numbers. Here, the other information that HGPT will ask is your full name, your birthday, and later on, don't forget to verify your new account through your email. So once you have signed in, you will see the HGPT interface. On the left side, you have the history of your previous chats. This is where you can go back to old conversations and continue them without having to start a new one on the same topic. Also have the button to start a new chat. So by clicking on, you can start a fresh chat on a new topic, and it will save right here. Next up, you have the search button, which this allows you to actually search for keywords or titles if you don't necessarily. Remember the title. You can type in any keyword from a conversation, and it will pull up relevant previous chats with that particular word. So let's just say trip. Here I have my conversation about planning a trip to New York. 3. Settings & Personalisation : If you want to check out some settings from your profile icon on the top right corner right here, you can adjust a couple of things on your profile. So you can start with switching between dark and light mode. You also have the always show code when using data analyst. You can show follow up suggestions and chats. You can switch your language. There's many options to go through. Can also archive all of your chat history. You can delete chats. This will help you freeing up space if eventually you run out of it, and you can also logo. You also have personalization, which this will allow you to customize your chat GPT to fit your needs better. So let's go on and check that out. So first up, you will answer some questions about yourself. Let's just say, my name is Jane. What do you do? I'm an owner of a coffee shop. In here, it will ask you what traits should HGPT have? So you can describe anything that you would like to assign to your ha GPT, or you can go down here and select some of these. Next up, you have anything else HachiPT should know about you. So this is where you can put in what is it that you're looking for in HGPT, particular things that you think it can help you with specifying things about yourself, you will get more useful outputs. Besides that, you also have your advanced settings right here where you can select and deselect couple of functions that you can use in chat GPT. I have all of them selected because they all are very useful. Later, we'll go in and explain a little bit deeper on what these mean and how to use them. Another useful thing here in the settings, you can actually customize the voice chat that we'll also get into later, but here you can choose between a couple of different voices. For example, we have arbor right now. Hi. Glad to meet you. I think we're gonna do great work together. Where shall we start? We also have female voices. Hey, there. I've got a really great feeling about us taming up. How can I? So you can customize this. I'll just go with inert why not? And again, select your language, or you can leave it to Auto Detect. So finally, as you navigate the app, you can keep an eye out for helpful tool tips. If you hover over buttons, for example, here, it will explain to you what this button does. So this one is search the web, think before responding. Here it uploads files, and more. So if you need any help, just hover your mouse over these buttons and you'll get a clear answer. 4. Essential Commands and Prompting: You can start a new chat and type your question right in this chat box right here. Under eight, you will also see different suggestions from the chatbot about what type of things you can ask and how to start your prompt. So I have different kinds of options. So by clicking on any of these buttons, that's how your prompt will begin. So let's try with Surprise M. And here you have a couple of options to go through. Let's try Surprise M with a story about yourself. There we go. Here's something unexpected about me. I once had an existential crisis after being asked to write a poem. That is beautiful. Before we start, there is a simple formula you can use to get the best responses from Chachi Pitti. Every prompt works better when it includes a combination of these six elements. First up, you have task. So what do you want Chachi Pitti to do? Use an action verb like generate, explain, compare or write. Next is context. This will give background details relevant to your request. Then you have intent, which is to clarify what you are trying to achieve. Next is persona. This will assign a role or a style to guide Cha GPT's response. Next is format. This will specify how you want the output to be structured. So, for example, a list, a table or a paragraph, and so on. And last is tone. So this, if needed, will set a style like professional, casual, dramatic, or humorous. Every prompt needs all six components, but you can use this as a checklist to make sure that you're giving just enough information to get a useful prompt. So first, let's try a simple fact based question. I will type. What are the key differences between a comet and an asteroid? So as you can see, ChachiPT has provided a very structured answer with some key points, and each of these contain two bullet points on each comets and asteroids, which is great. And it's very short and straight to the point. However, sometimes you may want a shorter and more detailed response. So this is when you can go in and switch up the prompt a little bit. For example, Explain the difference between a comet and an asteroid in one sentence. And here we go, the long explanation, which isn't that long because it can get very much longer. In one sentence, let's see, a comet is an icy body that develops a glowing tail when near the sun, while an asteroid is a rocky or metallic object that remains solid. Tailless. This is a beautiful response, and it does capture the proper difference between a comet and an asteroid. So it pretty much adjusted its output accordingly, and it is important to remember that settled prompt tweaks can give you much better and more accurate outputs. Now let's improve a prompt by using the formula that I was just talking about. Give me a travel guide for the Caribbean. So instead of just leaving your prompt to be that, we can add way more details. I'm going to go in and say, you are pirate. How do you spell pirate? Jack Sparrow. Alright, and engaging Travel Guide about a one week vacation, three Caribbean Islands in an exciting and humorous tone. And let's add the amount of words. There we go. We have applied some of those elements to this prompt. We have assigned the role. We have the command, which is write an engaging travel guide, and we have also applied the tone, which is exciting and humorous and specified in 200 words. So we have a clear plan of three days in a very exciting and humorous tone because there are words that I did not expect to be so this is a very, very highly customized output. This is definitely going to attract some Is, that's for sure. So next, we will ask for a list. I will type, give me ten unique birthday gift ideas for someone who loves Astronomy. So HAGPTs really great at generating creative lists, whether for brainstorming, meal planning or even travel ideas. So I can personally confirm that this is actually a very good list, and I would love to receive nine out of these ten things. Thank you very much. Moving on. You can also ask for structured comparison. So let's try another example. Here, let's type, compare a MacBook and a Windows laptop for video editing in a table format. So now we are asking a particular format out of this output. So let's see how this goes. And it never disappoints. Now it has generated me a beautiful table comparing some of the features between MtBook and Windows laptop. Even with a conclusion, asking for your output to be generated in a table is a really great way to take this information and read it through quickly and understand it better because everything is compared and everything is organized. And if you need help writing, ChaiPT can actually generate text in different styles and tones. So let's try this with a prompt. I'm going to say, write a professional email requesting a job. Here we have pretty much a template. But from here, I can also adjust it even more and type in another prompt, saying, make it more casual. And here we have an entire tone change. So we went from professional and very clean cut and corporate to a little bit more casual in a couple of seconds. And again, this is a template that you can copy and paste and then just add your name and your content information and you're ready to go. And if you're into coding, you can ask for code snippets. Let's try write a Python. Function that calculates factorial of a number. Here is what Chachi Bet came back with. From here, I can even follow up with, can you explain this line by line? And here we have a full explanation of each line that is generated before. So we can really understand what is what? And this is also really great for learning to code. But overall, ChachiPT can generate Python code, but if you do need to run and analyze data, that is something we will, of course, cover later. But overall, as you can see, HachiPT is a powerful tool when you know how to phrase your prompts effectively. 5. Free Advanced Tools (Vision, Browse, Reasoning, Canvas): One of the most exciting features in Cha HiPT is HGPT vision, which allows you to upload images and ask DAI to analyze them. You can upload by clicking here on Upload Files and more and select your source. You have option four, connect to Google Drive, connect to Microsoft OneDrive and from your computer. I'm going to upload this image right here. Once you have uploaded the image, you can ask HGPT questions about it. So since I have uploaded an image of a dish I saw on Instagram, I will write. Can you suggest a recipe based on this meal. So Cha GIP T will actually analyze the ingredients and suggest a possible recipe. I find this to be extremely crazy because look at this. We have ingredients and instructions. And this is actually really great I'm actually going to make this. I'm so excited. This looks so yummy. And since Cha GIPT saves these chats, whenever the weekend comes around, I'm going to go back to my old chats, bring up this recipe and enjoy my ratatoui. That you can also upload charts, maps, handwritten notes, and then you can ask HGPT to identify them. Unlike older versions of HGPT that were limited to past knowledge, the free version now includes real time web search. To use it, just click on this button right here, which says search. Now that we have search selected, I'm just going to put in the prompt. What is the latest news on space X. Oration. And here we can see the first source, which by clicking on it will guide us back to the actual source, which is a website. And this is really cool because this way, you can actually get up to date information on anything, and ChaGPT isn't just relying on old information that it was trained on. But here we have the full breakdown on the recent news in space exploration. Each of these paragraphs have the source which we can then click on and verify and then read upon it. And then at the end, we have the resources here collected if we don't want to go through the entire thing. Way CHGBT will fetch the latest information from the web instead of relying on the older training data. This is really great for checking news, looking a recent research, or even finding today's weather. You can also specify your sources by saying search the web for the latest check trend from wired and the bridge. Sometimes Chat GPT will give you two responses to get your feedback. So this is also a really great way to find out which is the best way that you would like to get your responses in by reading through, see what fits you best and just select one of them. For the sake of this example, I'm going to go with this shorter one. But overall, you don't even have to select the search button right here. You can just specify it in your prompt and also specify the exact sources that you want the information to be pulled from. Other powerful function is reasoning mode, which allows CHGPT to make more time analyzing complex problems. You can select the reasoning mode by just clicking on this reason button, and then you can put in your prompt. I will go with something that definitely would benefit from reasoning. With the response, it actually gives you the time that it took it to reason, which then you can see the process by clicking on this little arrow right here. And here is how we got to this result. So I will not lie. I think this is the best way to explain quantum entanglement. And it's also very fun to read through the reasoning process on how it got there. Sometimes it can be longer, sometimes it can be shorter, but it shows the behind the scenes of what happens when you ask an AI to come up with an answer. So it's really cool. With reasoning mode enabled, ChachiPT processes more deeply before responding, which will result in more detailed and accurate answer. You can also literally read through the processing and see how it came up with this answer. This is definitely a game changer for technical topics, problem solving, and even research. Have you ever received an answer from HGBT and wanted to tweak it? That is where Canvas comes in. I'm going to start with asking it to write me a short script on, let's say, quantum entanglement. Here I have an example script on the same topic we were just using. What I can do here is select this little button right here, which is Edit and Canvas. So let's see what happens. Here in Canvas, I can make direct edits to this text and particularly without disturbing the chat that I was in just now. So going through the text is definitely not a bad script. However, I would want it to sound a little bit more serious. And so I'm going to go here on the side and ask it to change the tone to be a bit more serious. And we can see it in real time, how it changes this script right in front of me. So first thing I notice is that the emojis are gone, which is okay, but that's not really what I'm here for. However, reading through it, it is definitely a little bit more serious. So I definitely see the tone change, which is great. I love that. I would like to change this sentence alone. So I'm going to select it, and I'm going to click on Ask Cha Gi BT. Here's where I'm going to put in my prompt. Can you expand on this and make it longer? And here we have the same text, but much more longer and more informative. So very useful. Also, let's say I don't like this line right here. I'm not sure why AI does this, but I see this very often. Take out this dash from here and any where else in the text. Alright, so our dashes are gone. This is a super short and a quick way to show you how Canvas actually works. I have found it very, very useful, especially when it comes to things like emails, where I like to change a couple of things, but I don't want to go one after another. In the main chat, I can just go in Canvas and do all the edits uninterrupted. 6. Exploring Custom GPTs: The next thing I wanted to show you is this ability to explore and use Custom GPTs. These are specialized AI models tailored for different tasks. So you can find them by clicking on your profile picture and selecting Explore GPTs. So by scrolling through custom GPTs, you can find all kinds that can help you with all kinds of tasks. For example, you have programming that can help you with coding. You have lifestyle, research and analysis, education, productivity, writing. And you can also search for them here in the search bar. So let me search for something like learning Spanish. And here we have a very long list, but I'm going to select this first one and try it out. So we have conversation starters here. I'm a beginner, which does apply to me. So let's select that, which included a prompt. I'm a beginner in Spanish, and I want to become an expert. And it has begun the sentence with excellente. I am here to help you on your journey from beginner to expert in Spanish. My native language is Latvian, and I want to learn Spanish 'cause I love to visit South America. Alright, so I will start with greetings. Alright. So we have common Spanish greetings, asking how someone is. We have the actual Spanish. Then it says, whether it's informal or informal and English translation. And I love how with this custom GPT, it actually asks me very particular questions to help me with the process of learning Spanish through this. So this just shows a fraction of the power that custom GPTs have because they are particularly made and customized to perform best at those particular tasks. In this case, it feels like I'm talking to an actual Spanish teacher whose job is to know exactly my language background and my intentions so they know what to begin with and how to work with me. Even as a free user, you can browse these available GPTs and see which ones are best suited for your needs. Your own does require a plus subscription. You can still access many prebuilt GPTs to enhance your experience and tailor chatbot for specific workflows or even industries. As I showed you before, the list just keeps going on and on with these custom GPTs and I feel like there's a solution for every single problem you can think of. 7. Voice Mode Basics: So one of the most exciting features in HAGPT is its voice mode, which you can actually have a real time conversation with the AI. This makes HAGPT feel more like a personal assistant you can actually talk to. To start the voice mode, just tap on this microphone button and you can start speaking. JAGPT will listen to you, process the request, and then respond in real time with very natural sounding kind of speech. You are a personal productivity coach. Can you give me three quick tips for staying focused while working? Absolutely. Here are three quick tips to help you stay focused. One, prioritize tasks. Start by identifying your most important tasks and tackle them first. This ensures you're working on what truly matters. Two, limit distractions. Find a quiet workspace. Put your phone on silent and use apps that block distracting websites. Three, take breaks. Use techniques like the pomadorotechnique, work for 25 minutes, then take a five minute break. This helps maintain high levels of focus. Thank you. That was very useful. I'm glad you found it helpful. Let me know if you need more tips or anything else. Happy to help. So you saw how natural and interactive that was. Voice mode actually lets you bounce ideas back and forth, just like you would in a real conversation. I especially find this super useful when I'm on the go because I do have aGBT on my phone. And then whenever I have a creative idea and I want to brainstorm it right away, I just open my app and start chatting. It's like having a super smart assistant that never sleeps. 8. Paid-Plan Highlights: So far, we've explored everything you can do with the free version of HGBT. But now let's take a quick look at some of the most powerful features available in the paid plans. With HGPTPlus Pro and Teams, you actually get unlimited access to GPT 40 series, 01 and 03 series with no message caps. These models offer faster responses, higher efficiency, and enhanced reasoning capabilities for more complex queries. You also get priority response speed, so your chat loads much faster even during peak hours. If you work with numbers, research or coding, this next feature is definitely a game changer. The Advanced Data Analysis tool formally, it's known as the code interpreter. It lets you upload files, analyze spreadsheets, generate charts, solve math equations, and automate calculations. Going to upload a financial report and see what kind of insight it will give me. So I'm going to upload from my computer, select my file and upload. Now that my file is uploaded, I'm going to put in my prompt. So now that the bullet points and the actual chart is ready, you can see that it took my CSV file and made a beautiful chart out of it. This is way more pleasant to look at and it's very easy to understand in comparison. And the bullet points are very well summarized key insights from the revenue analysis. Besides that, I can also download this chart if I need to present it to someone. I can also change the color, and I can make this an interactive chart, which is way more fun to look at, as well. So going through detail by detail definitely helps understanding the data much better. You can use this for financial reports, business analytics, research projects, or even just exploring trends in your personal data. The newest features is scheduled tasks. This will allow you to set automated reminders or AI driven tasks. For example, I will make a task for HGBT to give me AI News summary every morning. So I'm going to begin by clicking on the model menu and select GPT four oh with scheduled tasks. Here I will begin my prompt. And here we go. It has created me a task. If I click on this, this is where I can further customize the name. Here are the instructions, which I can always also change, and I can also change the schedule itself. So I can go from daily to weekly, monthly, annually and custom. And also the times can be changed if you change your mind. Another option is to pause this task, or you can delete it altogether, but I'll hit Save. And here it says, Sure. I will provide you a summary each morning Am. You just need to set this task once, and HGPT will automatically deliver updates based on your preference, whether through notifications in the HGPT app, email summaries or integrations with tools like Slack and Google Calendar. Now I'm going to show you how to adjust how you get your notification. So you go to settings, and next you're going to hit on notifications, and here you have the task option, and over here, you can select whether it is a push notification or an email. From my experience, this feature right here has definitely kept me on top of my responsibilities. 9. Introduction to Practical Research with ChatGPT : In this lesson, I would like to introduce to you one of HAEPT's most underappreciated functions, which is practical research. So while most people use CHEPT for writing tasks and brainstorming, it can also serve as a highly capable research assistant, of course, if you know how to structure your interactions. Be someone who's working solo, maybe a student, a content creator, a strategist, or maybe you're just juggling a lot. So JachiBt can actually take some of that mental load off. It's useful for pulling together information, looking at topics from different angles, sketching out rough frameworks, and even testing out early ideas a little bit faster than you might on your own. But here's the key. GPT isn't inherently smart, which is a very common misconception. What it actually is is reactive. So the quality of its outputs depends almost entirely on how well you structure your input, which is your prompt. That's where prompting actually becomes a skill and not just a convenience. A well structured prompt defines scope, context, and intent. So, for example, instead of saying, tell me about market trends, this would be an example of a bad prompt because it is not very specific. Instead of this, you might want to say something like this, which is an example of a good prompt. Summarize current 2025 social media marketing trends for short form video creation, targeting Chen si, and highlighting any contradictions across regions. So this one line immediately sets constraints. It clarifies the audience, the year, and the lens through which to analyze. And this forces the model to generate a more useful and focused response. In this module, we will go deeper into how to engineer prompts like this one. We're not just going to get information, but we're going to go and generate insights and build repeatable research workflows that you can adapt into your own projects. Let's dive in. 10. Topic Research Walkthrough: Alright. In this lesson, we are doing a step by step walk through of how to use ChatGPT for practical research. This method works across most topics, but today I will be focusing on sustainable architecture as an example. I will walk you through the prompts, how to refine the results, and what to watch out for, especially when it comes to sources and verifying information. So you want to start with a brand new chat which I have opened right now, and I will put in my first prompt. So our prompt says I am researching the topic of sustainable architecture. Can you help me identify key trends, current challenges, and important sources or organizations in this field? So this is a solid baseline. We are naming the topic which is sustainable architecture. We are specifying what kind of insights we want, so we want to identify key trends, current challenges, and important sources or organizations in this field. And overall, with this whole prompt, we are giving it some good direction. So now I'm just going to click this and see. So here we have a very well structured answer, and it's very in depth and on point of what it is that I asked. So first, we have key trends in sustainable architecture. Everything is nicely numbered and are also very well digestible just because it is organized in a nice way. We have the current challenges, which we also asked for six points of that. Important sources and organizations. And he gave me a beautiful list to even the links to these sources, which is very useful, especially for doing this kind of research. I do want to quickly note that while I'm recording, this kind of research works way better with GPT 40, which as you can see, I'm on right now. GPT 40 is available on the Plus Plan, and it is especially good at keeping responses well structured as we just saw with this response that it gave us. Of course, you can play around with the format which I will show you later. With this model, you can trust that the sources and the information that you get is accurate because it is browsing the Internet. However, if you're using the free plan, you are limited to GPT 3.5, which means that you won't have the access to tools like real time browsing. So if you're doing research or you need current events, you'll either need to upgrade to GPT four or you just would need to verify the information through other sources. So you would have to do some more research. Okay, now that we have the first step done, next, I would like to see this information in a more structured format, which I just mentioned about tables. So I will ask the following. Can you create a table showing the trends, short explanation and related organizations? So now we're asking for this information to be organized in a table, which a lot of times is much easier to digest information from a table. And here we go. Okay, so I'll make this a little bigger just so we could see a little better. So we have the trends written out right here on the side. So I have net zero and net positive buildings, positive design strategies, and so on and so forth. With trends and short explanations, very nicely digestible. That's for sure and related organization. So we have these written out for each of these trends. These types of tables are super helpful when you're trying to scan for patterns or things like concentration, strategy documents or even for presentations. So overall, with everything that we had here written out, very well, I liked it, but we definitely improved it with putting it in a table by just asking. Another thing you can do, actually, if you, for example, feel like this is too little, you can actually modify this table by just ask, add more. Rose. And now it's going to do exactly that and add more rose to your table to broaden the information. It is saying I have added more trends to the sustainable architecture table. Let's check it out. Yeah, we have way more information now. You can keep on adding and modifying to your satisfaction. Another thing, actually, that you can do is, for example, if these explanations are too long, you can just say shorten the explanations. And now we have these explanations shortened to much shorter sentences than what we had before. For some people, things are better summarized in more short form can be much more useful because not always we want to read text on text on text. So that is how you can easily get tables, get information organized, and also modify them along the way. Now let's say I want to dig into some academic research. I will just go to the chat and ask so I am asking for it to provide summaries of two recent research studies on this topic. So this is where things get very interesting because you can narrow down, and you can also specify which exact studies maybe you want more information on, but now I'm asking just for studies in general. So here we go. We have understanding the embodied carbon credentials of modern methods of construction with some sources attached, and at the end is, why does this matter? Also very well organized? We have insight and significance. We can read through this and better understand what it is that we're other thing, I would like to let you know that if you're not using GPT 40, which has brows with being embedded, which pretty much means that you are searching the Internet, essentially, GPT doesn't usually have access to the Internet. So you may get a blend of real sounding but generated summaries. So in this situation, you would want to clarify, and you can do that by simply asking it in a prompt. I'm going to say, are these real studies or generated examples? How can I verify. Now, let's ask it. Are these real or not? It should be real because as I said, I am on GPT 40, but this pretty much is kind of a fact checked situation where I can really make sure. But if you are on the free plan, as I said, you can verify it. It might say that, Hey, I would encourage you to do more research or verify yourself because it wouldn't have the access to the Internet. Otherwise. So here we have the verification pretty much and also a method, how to verify them. Suggestions. I can provide direct links. I want to deeper breakdown of their methods, la la la, increased and other recent peer reviewed studies on sustainable architecture or building carbon. Let me know. So this is another great way to do that is just by ask. So as I said, GPT might cite realistic sounding studies, but unless you yourself can find them elsewhere, assume that they are examples. So you can use this as a jumping off point for your own verification. But again, even without the access to the Internet or searching the web through HGPT, this is a very great start when it comes to gathering your information and organizing. Okay. Now when we have the verification out of the way, now comes the part that actually makes this a research process and not just a tool. What you can do is follow up with a clarifying question. So now we're going to ask you to focus on eco friendly building materials in urban areas. So we are narrowing down even more. So we got our eco friendly building materials in urban areas. We start with key materials and their benefits. We have the material listed out description. So cross laminated timber is engineered wood panels. I did not know that. Now, I do. Thanks for that. Urban use cases, and it even gives us that. And this is also very beautifully organized. I absolutely love that. For research purposes, this is such easy information to digest. Next, we have why it matters in urban setting, so it really builds the case for that. Challenges in urban implemation. And urban projects using these materials and key organizations promoting these materials. So you have abundance of information surrounding the topic of not only sustainable architecture, but you have narrowed down to eco friendly building materials in urban areas. Now when we have all of this information beautifully laid out, we can take it a step further and ask for what regions are leading innovation in this area. And like this by asking more specific questions and narrowing down exactly what it is that is needed, we are not just passively receiving the information. What we're doing is steering the direction of this research. And the more context and direction that we have given throughout this conversation, the better the results keep getting. So if you look at this last answer that we got, we have top regions landing material innovation, numbered out with key takeaways, and we even have some green material innovation regions, and we have the actual sources where you can read more about it and get more information with links. So, here is a quick overall recap of this lesson. We started broad, but we were still very structured. We defined what is it that we were researching and what kind of insights that we wanted, and we got exactly that. We also used follow ups to organize, like we asked for tables and summaries. One thing I do want to point out, again, always verify sources, especially if you are asking for academic research. Like I said before, GPT four oh has automatic web browsing access through GPT 40 model, which is available on ChatGPT plus. So this means that unlike older versions of GPT four, you do not need to enable brows with Bin separately, which was the case before where you would go into settings and you would have to toggle it on. This works automatically for real time search and data, which is very useful. You are on GPT 4.5 or the free version, results can still be solid. Just know the limitations that you have and know how to work around them by verifying the information yourself. But overall, this process can save you a lot of time and help you go from I have no idea where to start to a rough outline. You have a content map or a research brief all in one chat, like we just saw. We asked a couple of questions, and we have all of this beautifully organized information on a very specific topic, and there you have it. 11. Brainstorming Session: Business/Product Ideas: In this lesson, we are diving into how ChaiPT can be your hi partner for brainstorming business or even product ideas. This is super useful if you're starting from scratch or you just need fresh angles fast. So I'm going to start with a new fresh chat, and I'm going to put in my first prompt. I'm going to start very simple and clear. So the prompt says, I want to start a subscription based business in the Health niche. Can you bring Storm ten unique business models for me? So the goal here is to get a quick list of ideas that we might not be able to think of. So let's see how it goes. First one personalized supplement packs. Not bad. We have the model, which would be monthly boxes. Okay. Twist. Include rotating educational material or recipes that match the user's current health focus. Example, stress, energy, immunity. Okay, we got mind body, journal club, healthy snack, discovery box, virtual wellness studio pass, digital health buddy for chronic conditions and plant based meal plans, plus grocery lists. Besides that, there is health biohackerTol Box. Menstrual cycle sinkit model subscription box is designed for each phase of the okay, Teas affirmation supplements. Okay, healthy pet and owner Wellness duo box. That love that idea. I love that. I don't think I would have thought of that. Okay, wellness on call Microcaching. Alright, so we have ten very interesting ideas. Some are better than others, but that's why we have a list of ten. And the fact that it has the model and a twist just to give that extra zing, I love that. So now that we have a list of ten, I think it is time to dig a little deeper. So I'm going to go in with another prompt. Let's see. I'm asking to pick two of these and expand them into a business plan summary. What you could also do is specify which two or three or how many, for example, Virtual Wellness Studio pass catches your interest. You can ask to expand on that, particularly, but I'm going to ask you to pick two. So let's go. Okay, we have the first one digital health buddy for chronic conditions. We have the concept, even target audience, product offering, pricing tiers, revenue streams, tech stacks, growth channels. And it has thought of everything. I love that. And also the second one, okay, that's funny that it chose this one, but why not? But so now, this second prompt that I put in, this was kind of a step that turned the broad ideas into something a little bit more concrete. It highlighted what the business does, who it serves, and how it might work financially and operationally, because we have all of these points, like product offerings, pricing tiers, revenue streams, logistics, everything. So now let's take it to another level. So let's say I really like these ideas that it narrowed down to, and it picked two. But one of my main concerns is the target audience, right? I think the idea is great, but the target audience is where things get confusing to me, for example. So I'm asking, can you give me three potential target audiences for these business models and suggest ways to reach them? We have our target audiences listed out, and it even has given us some ideas where to find them and how to reach them. So we have separate several things we can do that really puts things into perspective and gives us a lot of ideas. So I think this kind of research into, for example, businesses is really somewhat like spoon feeding you success. So overall, this is a really great method to start up your own business or even get out of a slump if you feel a little stuck because hachPT really lets you generate multiple creative angles all at once, which is, of course, faster than doing manual research or even brainstorming all by yourself. Also, it's an awesome tool for validating early stage ideas without needing heavy market research or even a full team. So if you're a solo person, you're in luck. Overall, whether you're working on startup, ideation, product design or even content planning as a content creator, this approach really gives you a solid foundation to build on. So while I'm recording this, GPT four is best for this kind of creative, fast, business focused brainstorming. It really helps you balance speed and quality really well. However, if you do want something lighter or even quicker, GPT 4.1 mini is a decent fallback. Of course, yes, this kind of stuff works on the free plan too. The results may be a little different, but do not let the plan limit hold you back from trying. That's the gist of using ChatGPT to spark business ideas and shape them into real plans. Next, we will explore how to turn these plans into actionable steps and content that you can share or use internally. 12. Planning a Project: Youtube Channel Launch: In this lesson, we are diving into how ChaiPT can be your hi partner for brainstorming business or even product ideas.

Next, we will explore how to turn these plans into actionable steps and content that you can share or use internally. 13. Using Browse for Updated Research : In this lesson, we're going to explore how HGPT can access real time up to date information through its built in browsing capabilities. Maybe you're researching the latest scientific discoveries, maybe you're tracking current events or just digging up some stats for a project. This HGPT feature actually accesses the web letting you go beyond the base knowledge. First of all, to access real time web browsing, make sure that you're using GPT 40, which is the advanced model available through ChatGPT plus Plan. With this, you won't need to enable anything manually. Browsing is built in by default. I do want to note that the free tier users don't have access to browsing or real time info. So if you want this functionality, you're going to have to upgrade to the plus plan. One work around to this might be you giving a link to a relevant article with all the information in it, and then from there, HGPT would be working with that information, which is accurate to the time. But other than that, the base knowledge of GPT comes from 2023. So this would make it very difficult working with current events. But now let's begin with a prompt like what are the latest statistics on AI adaptation? And of course, the advantage of this model is that it can include sources, so let's make sure to ask that. And as you can see how usually it replies with just text. This time we actually get links to the sources where the information was pulled from. So by clicking on one of these links. It will take us exactly to that website, and let me show you. So here we have LiveWire, and it is referencing this 38% of USML and it says businesses currently integrate AI into multiple functions. But this goes for every single point that ChatGPT makes. As you can see, there's a source at the end of every single one and by hovering over them, it shows exactly which part corresponds to what source. Which if you want to do some further research or even verify your information, this makes it extremely handy. So here we have a summary of adaptation by definition, AI definition, adaptation rate, gives us percentages and final takeaways. And of course, at the end, here we have the key sources of small business AI adaptation. We can expand on all the sources that were listed in this response in particular. This is a really great way to have current information, current news or current stats be listed out with, of course, the source for verification. So now let's say that this information was great, but maybe I would like it to be a little bit more condensed, but also, I would like to put some of this in action in my own business. So next prompt will be can you turn this into a summary with action points for a small business owner? So from here, we go from just general information. I think this is great. I would like to be part of the fun. So now, let's see how this actually can help my business. And this really does help translate all of this data that we just saw into practical steps that someone can actually use in real world. So we have AI adaptation in small businesses, what you need to know. We have some good news, good to know, and action plans for small business owners. Can audit the current tools, start small with high impact areas, explore generative AI, train the team and track impact. Got some final thoughts. And of course, from here, if you want a little bit, something more specific, you can go in and follow up by maybe expanding on some of these points if something does catch your attention. But overall, this is a very great way to actually put all that information into actionable steps. When it comes to the browsing feature, this really gives you the access to the real time data, which is great for time sensitive topics like maybe a market launch, current events or breaking news, like I said before. But of course, remember that at the time while I'm recording this, browsing is limited to just GPT four oh. So if you don't have the plus version, unfortunately, you do not have this feature. But of course, always double check the links that ChatGPT gives you and verify the sources for yourself to make sure you're really working with solid information. This is how you would use HGPT's browsing feature to get the latest information and turn it into some actual practical advice. And this is how you would use ChatGPT browsing feature to get the latest information and turn it into some really practical advice. Also, remember to always double check your sources, since real time data also changes very fast. Browsing can seriously level up your research when you need current, reliable insights. 14. Introduction to Creative Use Cases: Like we saw in our previous lessons, Cha chi PT is a great research tool. It is great for pulling facts, summarizing articles, or even helping with writing tasks. And sure, of course, it is good at that. But there is this one thing that is often overlooked, and that is how good it is at being a creative collaborator. So it's not just for getting answers. It can help you imagine things. For example, story ideas, brand names, ad slogans, fictional worlds, character arcs, plot twists, even campaign ideas for games or writing prompts for videos. For example, writers can use it to test out story openings or break through blocks. Marketers can use it to come up with fresh angles, slogans or even campaign hooks. Game designers or DMs use it to flesh out quest or world building ideas. So as you can tell, there are so many avenues that creative work can be done with ChatGPT. So the key is learning how to talk to it like a creative partner and not just do this for me, but let's explore this together. In this module, we're going to walk through a bunch of hands on examples. For example, storytelling and copywriting to character building and script generation. So you can see how actually put it to work in your own creative projects. Let's dive right into that, then. 15. Storytelling Prompt Walkthrough: In this lesson, we will explore how to use ChatGPT for creative writing. We'll go from storytelling and character development to slogans and even scriptwriting. This is less about getting one perfect result and more about learning how to guide the model through multiple creative directions with follow up prompts. Let's walk through each of these use cases step by step. Before we jump into examples, let's review the creative prompt formula. Yes, there is a formula. This formula helps you shape the tone and purpose of the responses that you want. So the formula is task, plus context, plus persona plus format, plus tone. So these are all the components you want to include in your prompts. I will show you an example that includes all of these points. So for example, you are a mystery novelist, right the opening paragraph of a detective story set in 1920 Chicago. Now we have to assign a tone, so let's say in a suspense full tone, and that would be the end right there. So, this prompt has been crafted with all of the components from the formula. Let's dissect this prompt, and I'll show you exactly where the components hide. So first of all, you have the task. We have right, right? We an opening paragraph. Then we have the context, which is story set in 1920 Chicago. Then we have the persona, which is mystery novelist. Then we have the format specifically is an opening paragraph, and the tone is suspenseful. So now, when we prompt it, it's going to come back with an opening paragraph of exactly what it is that we wanted. Feel free to read this through if you want, but this is just really an example on how to use this kind of formula where you don't have to follow it in order, make sure that all the components are included. So this kind of prompt really tells the model who it is pretending to be, what the story is about, where is it set, the format you want, and the vibe that you're going for. But now let's open a new chat and try something original. So I'm going to write another prompt. Here's our prompt. Write the beginning of a Scifi story set in a world where plants have become the dominant species and humans live underground. So once we generate the response, which we have a title and a whole story, this is a good result. However, we can definitely spice it up and expand on it and overall reshape the story using follow ups. So first of all, one great option is to expand the story. So let's say continue this story. So now we have a continuation of this lowly Sci Fi story still going. This is how you can take your idea and expand on it. Very good method. Next, you can also add some dialogue. So let's do Let's add some character dialogue. Okay, so on our expansion, we have added more dialogue, makes it more exciting, more interesting. We can also change the tone overall. So now we have to go back to prompt section and Can you rewrite this to I would say rewrite this story to feel more let's say, comedic. Now we can with a single prompt, change the entire story and change the tone of it, change the genre of it with a single prompt. So what we have included is an actual dialogue, which useful. We don't have to go back from the top and re prompt everything. But also, besides that, we can also add a creative constraint. So, for example, now rewrite the same scene in a style of a Shakespearean story. So with this with a single prompt, we can change the entire thing to a complete opposite from a comedy to a Shakespearean story. And it definitely is taking the shape. You can see it just by the text format, almost. So, this kind of prompting lets you shape the tone, pacing, and even the format of your story without starting from scratch each time. This is a giant timesaver. But now let's move on to the next. Creative writing isn't only for fiction. Let's look at some slogan writing and copywriting, especially useful for marketers and brand builders. So I'm going to take and go to a new chat and give it another prompt. Let's say I'm launching a new productivity app for remote workers. Can you give me ten slogan ideas? And now, with a single prompt, we already have ten ideas perfect for a slogan for a productivity app. So from here, we can refine this even further. We can refine the style of these slogans. So what we can say is one slogan that is a pun, one that sounds like a motivational quote and one that would work well in a tweet. And by doing this, we already are refining the results that we got to something that fits our needs better because apparently we need a pun slogan, motivational quote slogan, and something that would work well in a tweet. So we have the pun remotely possible. That's actually Discipline is freedom. Your work space is where you decide. Lovely. Love that. Get more done. Log off earlier. Okay, that's kind of funny, too. But here we go. By just one prompt, we completely refine the answer and narrow down our options, which is also useful. Now that we refine the output that we got, we can also completely take this and make it into something else. For example, evolve these ideas into longer content. Let's do a prompt that says, Can you turn these ideas into headline for a landing page. And this is a great way to generate multiple creative directions quickly, especially if you're brainstorming alone. So now we went from ten slogans to three very tailored kind of slogans to a couple of headline copies for a landing page. Now, let's talk about characters and world building tools. So ChachiPT also supports more in depth creative development like building fantasy worlds or designing characters. For this one, I'm going to open up a new chat and start a new prompt. I'm going to say help me design a fantasy world where magic is powered by sound. Describe three locations and a ruling power structure. All right. So here we have a whole concept of a fantasy world, and it has followed the direction that we gave it, which is where magic is powered by sound. And we also have the three key locations and a ruling power structure. And from here, this is already pretty solid. We can also add some depth with a character. So from here, we would go and say, create a character. From this world, a rebellious bad opposes the rulers. And now with this prompt, we have given our story a whole character, which we have specified exactly what the character does. So the story is going to definitely revolve around that as long as far as the character goes. And we even have a name for it. We have backstory, abilities, motivation, quote. All right. And from here, we can also go further and refine with some narrative details. So with this prompt, we have really narrowed things down as far as the narrative goes. We have three flaws first chapter personal conflicts. So with this kind of prompting, you are leading the direction of your creative work, not just blindly saying, Hey, give me a wax story. You are actually putting in a lot of your own ideas where ChachiPT is just helping you execute it. So this kind of prompting is especially useful for writers, game designers, or really anyone. Building a fictional world. Now I'll go in with a prompt and ask it to turn this following idea into a Youtube video script. A fantasy barred attempts to overthrow a corrupt magical regime using forbidden songs. And now from here, we can actually restructure this idea into another piece of content, which is for Youtube video. It comes up with a title, and we have the entire script with direction. So we have opening scene, scene shift, narrator, narrator, montage, narrator. So this is very, very useful. So this is all good, but we can also refine it a little bit more. So as someone who has made a Youtube channel, we usually need a more structured way for Youtube kind of scripts. So you need an intro. You need the main sections. You need a closing line or an outtro. So let's ask Cha chiPT to take this idea and really organize it in that way. So I'm going to do following prompt. And here you can see that ChatGPT turns this idea that we've been working on and refining into a Youtube video structure, which is very understandable with an intro, Section one, two, and three and a closing line. So this really shows how flexible this model is across all formats and how you can reuse the same idea for different kinds of media like we just did with Youtube and stories and different genres of the story. This is such a versatile way to right, creative content. So when it comes to creative writing that is long form, structured and most reliable, GPT 4.5 is the best. However, GPT 40 is also a strong option for shorter form and playful creative writing, and also is available on the plus plan. Free users can absolutely follow along using GPT 3.5. But of course, some formatting and structure might require a little bit more manual tweaking. This lesson was all about creative control. We learn how to iterate, reshape and stretch a single idea in different directions using GBT. So if you're writing fiction, building a brand, or scripting for media, prompting is a very flexible tool that helps you explore possibilities way faster and with more structure. I hope this helps you with your future creative endeavors. 16. Introduction to ChatGPT's Visual Abilities: CachiBT now supports native image generation and editing directly inside the app. So you don't really need any extra tools, plugins, or even third party services. You can either type your request something like create an image of a futuristic city on Mars, right in the chat bar where you can then just send out your request and it will generate you an image. Or what you can do is click on tools and select Create an image. So this opens up a ton of creative possibilities from designing visuals for content and marketing to mocking up product ideas or even building reference materials for storytelling and world building. This feature can be especially helpful for someone who's like a content creator, who's looking for thumbnails, social visuals, or illustrations. Also, product designers might find this very useful because a lot of times these product designers need rough mockup. So for marketers who are building out campaign visuals, also for marketers who are building out campaign visuals or mood boards or just really anyone who thinks better in pictures. When it comes to the availability, this feature is available for both free and plus users inside ChatGPT. Free users, however, can use image generation but with some limitations. For example, fewer generations per day and even slower access. For plus users, they get faster and more frequent image generation in general. Feature only works reliably with GPT 40. Other models like GPT 3.5 or 4.1 mini doesn't support image generation natively. In the next lesson, we will walk through how to actually use these visual tools. Let's jump right in. 17. Creating Images from Prompts: Let's try out ChatGPTs built an image generation by walking through a real example. So go ahead and open up a new chat and then use a descriptive prompt, something like this. I'm going to say, create an image of a futurist di city at sunset with flying cars, glowing signs, and a golden skyline and hit Enter and now it's going to generate an image right here in the chat. And all of this is based on your description. So, the more specific and detail you are with your prompt, the better the output will be and more tailored to what it is that you want. So now we're just waiting, and it should generate any second now. And as it's generating, you actually on top of the image can see the process of what it is that it's doing, like adding details before it was generating. So it's almost as if you are seeing it happen in real time, which is pretty cool. So here we have the result of the prompt that we put in, we can click on it to really zoom in and see all the details and the overall style. It looks really cool. And also I'm very impressed with ChatGPT every time I make an image because the spelling recently is very correct, which is a very good sign. We have some flying cars. We have sunset. It looks very futuristic. So this is a very, very good output. So now that we have reviewed the image, we can also build on it by asking more things. For example, make a version with softer lighting and foggy skyline. And by putting another prompt, it is going to adjust this image based on this new prompt and really give us another version rather than you needing to start from scratch, where you're like, Oh, create another image of a futuristic city at sunset with flying cars, going signs and golden skyline. And then you're inputting the other details that you would like to change. Now you can just kind of follow up. Here we can see it's unveiling pretty cool already, and looks fairly similar to this one, which it's supposed to be. Now, let's take a look. Yeah, it does look foggy. It is softer lighting, that's for sure. And it is another version of the same image. However, I am seeing some signs are missing like here, this one. But besides that, it looks almost identical. So overall, this really shows that you can refine visual ideas. It's almost giving feedback to the designer in real time. You don't really need to start over from scratch, like I said before. This model also remembers the context of your previous request, and it adjust accordingly, and then you end up with another version, not an entirely different image. But now let's try switching up the style entirely. So I'm going to go back to the text box, and I'm going to say, can you show it as art? From a retro video game. And by putting in a simple prompt, again, it will take the same image and it will just switch the style. So this kind of style transformation is especially useful for content crators or game developers or really anyone who's experimenting with different aesthetics. This is an amazing tool, whether you're aiming for any kind of style, realism, flat design, surrealism or maybe something like nostalgic like pixel art. This is like guiding the tool with clear visual language in real time. So I can't wait to see how this turns out. All right, so we have the pixel art version of this image ready. Let's zoom in and analyze. This looks like exactly like a carbon copy. So this really does prove that you can start with a single image and improve it as you go. Just put in a prompt with any kind of change that you would like to make, and it's not going to get lost with information. It's not going to generate you an entirely different image. This is a really great way to find that perfect aesthetic, stay consistent, and at the end, get an amazing result. So overall, when you do this, be specific with your prompts. Mention things like lighting, mood, time of day or materials like I did before. And think of this directing a visual scene. Your words end up being the instruction. So be very clear and specific in your prompt about what it is that you want to see. You can also stock constraints like in a style of studio jibly or at night or with a magical vibe. So it really depends on what it is that you want. You can specify and be as creative as you want to be. Of course, the more intentional your prompts, the better your visuals tend to be, and you will start to actually develop a feel for how to speak visually to this model. We'll go even deeper in the next lesson, including how to edit existing images. But for now, I would encourage you to play around with your own scene ideas and styles and have fun. 18. Editing Images: Now that we have our generated image from our last lesson, let's explore how to edit this image using Chachi PT's built in editing tools. The first step will be clicking on the image that you would like to edit. For me, it's going to be this pixel art one just because I think it is the coolest one. So I'm going to click on that. And on the upper right corner, I'm going to click on Select. For some people, this might say edit. Now, I'm going to click on that, and this is the editing space of Haji Betsy. As you can see, I have a little circular brush here, which allows me to select a part of the image, and then with a prompt, I get to change that part. So it's really easy. Let's say I want to change one of the cars for something else. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take this brush and brush over the object. Now I have this object selected, and I'm going to go to the prompt box, and I'm going to put in a prompt that says, replace this flying car with a small hot air balloon. I hit Enter, and now it's going to be editing that image with my direction right here in the chat. Image has been edited. You can see right here. And also, one thing that stands out is that it actually tried to match the style and lighting of the scene, which is very impressive. So we had the car here, and it turned it into a hot air balloon, but it also added another one. This does bother you. You can, again, go over with the selection tool, brush over and say, remove this air balloon. But for me, I actually like the way it looks, so I'm just going to keep it here. So now we're going to try another edit, but in a different section of the image. So I'm going to highlight this section of the building here, and I'm going to write at a neon sign on this building. So I hit Enter and now it's going to do the same thing. So unlike before I was changing the object in the image. This time, I am adding something new to it. It should handle it very well also because there already are some neon signs in the image itself, but there aren't any right there. All right, so here we have the generated result. I have asked for a neon sign here. It has added. However, there are a couple more signs that has added, but as I said before, easy to fix by just selecting this and removing them or adding anything else you want. This is a really great way to give your image a more stylized or a custom vibe and really see how ChatGPT interprets those creative tweaks. So feel free to play around with this feature and have fun because it really is very useful if you're trying to generate something and you want to tweak it along the way. I do have a couple of tips before you go. So first one, of course, you can be flexible with your words, but clear prompts usually lead to better edits. Also, if something looks off, you can undo or even rephrase your prompt. And finally, keep your edit small. Think of it like painting with AI rather than redesigning a whole canvas. Just a heads up. This editing feature, which is also called painting is only available with GPT 40, which requires plus or the Pro plan. Free users can generate images, but they won't be able to edit them, unfortunately. So in a few clicks, you can make precise changes to AI generated images, whether for your creative projects, client work or even just if you're experimenting. I'll see you in the next lesson. To 19. Combining Visuals with Text Prompts: Let's take everything we have learned so far, which is text prompts, image generation, and creative workflows and put it all together in a way that mirrors a real world use case. In this example, we're going to simulate a branding and product design session for a fictional herbal tea company. I want to start with a new chat, and I'm going to put in a prompt that says design packaging for a new herbal Te brand with a Earty minimalist style. All right. Well, hit Enter. And this will give Cha GPT the general direction, but it does still leave room to suggest creative interpretations. So we have the brand name, which is SALT. Love that. Packaging style overview, color palette to typography, front of pouch design, backup pouch design. It has thought of everything. Now we want to expand this into a visual and brand identity. So I'm going to go on and type in a prompt that says, Can you create a branding image, a mood board style description and suggest fonts and a color pallet that match the vibe. So this is where ChatGPT will start to pair visual thinking with verbal reasoning, which is great for anyone who is a designer, a marketer, or really anyone who's trying to build something from scratch. This should be very interesting. Okay, we have the image generated, let's take a look. We have a beautiful, very minimalist looking packaging. It did stay consistent with the name, which is the salty herbal infusion, and we have some font or we have some typography recommendations right here with a color palette and everything. I think this looks absolutely beautiful. And it is very consistent with not only the requests that I just made in the prompt, but also to what it did suggest in the beginning. Right? So now we have this branding image done, but let's turn that identity into something with a bit more emotion and purpose. I'm going to go back to the prompt box and start a prompt that says, Can you write a product tagline and a short brand story? This tea. Alright, we have our tag line rooted in nature, zipped in stillness. And the brand's story is written out. I believe that quiet power of nature. That's beautiful. Okay. So you will notice how the tone shifts based on the visual identity Chachi BT just created that we saw right here. Now we bring it all together with a visual. Again, going back to the prompt box. So based on all of this, generate an image of the tea packaging. With a clean, minimal and the brand. So now it should bring it all together and show us how to put all of the ideas and all of the visuals that we've had into a whole brand. I just realized I was meant to put in design here. All right. And here we have the final packaging of this imaginary team brand. Of course, you can follow up by refining it, like tweaking the color palette if you would like to change that. Or you can also ask for different packaging formats, for example, a box, a pouch or a canister. So let me try to ask for a box. This would be the box version of the same packaging. And this is all created by AI. That's absolutely incredible. So this kind of workflow is really a great example on how ChachiPT can help translate an abstract idea into something tangible and without having you jump between multiple tools. I can see this being extremely useful for when you're really in the early stages of branding, exploring possibilities and quickly iterating on them in real time. So that's it for this lesson, I'll see you in the next one. 20. Visual Prompts as Inspiration: In this lesson, we will flip the usual process. So instead of writing a prompt to generate an image, we will upload an image and use it to inspire ideas. This is perfect for writers, game designers, or really anyone who wants to spark creativity from visual cues, especially when you're feeling stuck or want a fresh angle. So we will start by uploading an image into ChatGPT. You can do that by pressing this little plus button right here and click on At Photos and files. This will lead to your computer where you can upload photos directly from your device. I have this photo already prepared, so I'm going to upload that. This really can be anything from a fantasy map, which I'm using right now as an example, or even an old book cover or an abstract, whatever feels creatively rich. So now I have the image uploaded and in the prompt section I'm going to put in based on this image, give me three creative story ideas. And now we hit Enter and see the magic happen. So this is really where things get really interesting because Chachi PT analyzes the visual and looks at the elements and spins them into short, compelling story sets. So let's take a quick look. We have one Compass Key Chronicles. Two, the last voyage to the wind shade. Cool. Okay, and islands of the forgotten oath. Oh, that gives parts of the Caribbean vibes. I like that. So each idea might focus on a different aspect, like we saw from the titles, a mysterious symbol or a dramatic landscape or even a certain visual style. So now we have these three beautiful ideas, but let's move on and see what else we can do with this. So now I'm going to go to the prompt section again and put in another prompt. So describe this image like a seen in a novel. This really will push the model to use sensory detail, tone, and narrative rhythm. This is great for helping writers visualize settings or unlock new voices. Here we have the novel description of this particular image, the brittle scent of parchment and salt hung in the air as Elra unrolled the ancient map table. From the first line, it sounds very interesting already. I love that. But we have this beautiful description just from a very, very simple prompt. You can, of course, get a little bit more detailed and more in depth about what it is that you would like this description to have. So using visuals as inspiration like this is really a powerful creative technique. It is fast as you saw. It is intuitive and often leads to unexpected angles you wouldn't get by sharing from text alone. And also the best part is that you can keep refining. So as I said, you can keep going back and tweaking details and get more specific and really get exactly what you want. You can ask for character profiles, conflict ideas or even rewrite the scene in a different genre. And all of this started from one image. Thank you for joining me in this lesson and I'll see you in the next one. 21. Automating Tasks with Zapier: Let's talk about automation. One of the most practical and time saving ways to use HGBT. If you ever wished your tools could talk to each other and just get things done while you focus on the big picture, this lesson is for you. So we're going to be using Zapier for this lesson. What is it? Zapier is a tool that connects your apps, and when you pair it with HGBT, you can set up automation that feels essentially like magic. Example, imagine a new client fills out a form. ChatGPT can read the info, summarize it, and send it straight to your inbox automatically. Let me show you how to build this kind of workflow step by step. And, trust me, it's actually super simple. So first things first, we need a Google form. I'm going to go over to Google Forms, or you can type in dogs dogogle.com, and I'm just going to create a new form all from scratch. So I'm going to name it client intake form. I'm going to name this number two because I already have one in there just so I could differentiate them when we're in Zapier. Next, we need to put in our first question, which is going to be pretty basic, so it's going to be name. And answer type is going to be short answer. Then I'm going to add another question, and this is going to be business type. Again, the answer is going to be short and last question is going to be main challenges challenges with an E. Thank you. And the answer for this is going to be paragraph just in case, you know, people want to spell their heart in this section. Why not? So, now that we have the very basic example form made, I am going to hit publish and make sure to hit this copy response link, okay? And here you have the form. We're going to fill it out. Again, just for an example for this kind of video or lesson. Going to type in let's say Jane Smith. It's going to be the name. My business type is going to be coaching, and my main challenges are going to be struggling to attract new leads Cistently and difficulty converting website. Visitors? I'm like, trying to think of all kinds of challenges that people might be experiencing right now in their businesses. So bear with me into paying customers. Okay, so here we have an example, dummy form. I'm gonna hit submit in there. Now we should have another form waiting. So now we're going to go over to Zapier. You can access it by typing in zapear.com and make sure you have an account created to start this process. But once you have that, let's start with creating a zap, hitting this big orange button, create and Zaps. And here we have the workspace to create an automation. Of course, Zapper does have templates and things that can use for automation, but this kind of action really is not that complicated, and it's very simple to create from scratch. And also, once you learn it once, you can really start creating really complicated once if you're into that. But anyways, let's just keep going. So now we are here, we have to start creating our action. First things first, we need a trigger. So, luckily, we have already two Windows here, trigger and action, so I'm just going to hit on Trigger. And from here, we need the trigger app, which for us is Google Forms, right? So if, however, Google Forms is not available in your plan, you can also link your form to Google Sheets instead. And instead of Google Forms, you would have Google Sheets. And after this, you would need to have so once you have your trigger app, you will need your trigger event, which if you are using Google Forms. So instead of using what I would do, you would put new spreadsheet row. So new form response for me. If you're using sheets, it would be new spreadsheet Row. I'm going to click on this trigger event. And next, make sure that your email, your Google account is connected to Zapier just so we can extract the Google form from your account. So here, I already have it connected to my Demi email, but here it would just say it would have a blue button, would say connect. And from there, you can connect to any email or Google account you have Already. Since we have that going on, I'm just going to hit Continue. And here, in the configure section, I'm going to select my form. Okay, so here we can see I have not named the form properly. Of course, I haven't, so I'm just going to copy this and paste it in the name. Okay, it should be should be here. I'm going to refresh the results. Okay, here we have client intake form two. That's the one that we just created. And if you have many forms that you would want this kind of automation to have, you would have to create different zaps. So each zap is for each form, in this case, right? Okay, so now we have the form. I'm going to hit Continue. And from here, I'm just going to test the trigger. You always want to make sure you test them because sometimes details, you know, they kind of slip away and you don't notice things, and it's always good to kind of test your steps. So it looks like all was good. We have a green chet mark, which is good. It says, We found records in your Google Forms account. We will load up to three most recent records that have not appeared previously. Right, that sounds fair to me. But here, once we actually hit on the Form response, we can actually see the latest response, I suppose, or the response that I just made when I filled out the dummy form, right? I was just filling that out. So it shows us here. We have Jane Smith, main challenge is struggling to attract new leads consistently and difficulty converting website visitors into paying customers and business tapes coaching. And so all is good. Our trigger is sort it out. Now we can move on to action. So you can continue or you can just hit on this action window here, and now we need the action app. Action app for us is going to be hi GPT, OpenAI. So I'm going to select that. And action event is going to be prompt. So you can scroll through here and I'm just going to search for it. Here we go. Prompt. And again, here is where you would connect to your HGPT account. However, I want to make sure that you're aware that you'll need an APIKey to connect from your GPT or OpenAI to Zapier, which also requires a paid plan. So either pro or plus subscription, unfortunately, free accounts cannot use APIKys, so just keep that in mind. If you want this kind of very beneficial automation, then you'll need to get a subscription to OpenAI. Besides that, if you do have your OpenAI paid account, you can get your APIKys on platform dot.com. You can create yourself a new APIKey or use one that you already have. However, do keep in mind that your APIKey is kind of your password. Do not share publicly. And if you do either blur it out or delete it right after showing. Now that all the air is cleared up, I'm just going to hit continue. So here in the configured section, we have a couple of things to do. This is where you would choose your model. So I'm just going to go with the 3.5 turbo. I have tested this, and it works well, so I'm just going to keep that where it is. It comes to the prompt, okay? This is where things can get a little bit tedious, but no worries. I'm going to go to my document here, and I'm just going to copy this entire thing which I have prepared previously. And I'm going to go back to Zapier and just paste it in the prompt section. But the fun doesn't end here, because what we need is we need to add the actual the actions so hGBT can recognize or Zapier can recognize and hGBT can act on them. Here by name because I want this kind of automation to summarize the information I get in my forms and then send them to my email. And then this prompt section is the place where I organize that to happen, right. So make sure you use Colon. And here on the Plus button, make sure you hit that. And here if you scroll down, actually, here we got the copilot, AI already is suggesting some things, which is very handy. So first, we'll select the name next to name, okay. Then here by business, we'll do same thing business type and main challenges main challenges. Just make sure it is correlated correctly, right? And then at the end is summarize this information in three bullet points, include the client's name in the summary. Focus on their main challenges and suggest services they might need. So this is telling This is giving the information where ChatGPT should look from Google Forms, as you can see, that's the logo. And then this is the actual prompt. We're telling what ChatGPT should do. Okay. So from here, that's all sorted. I'm going to hit Continue. And here we can actually see how the information's already recognized because we did put in the correct correlated information. So I'm just going to test this real quick and make sure it works properly. Okay, no errors. Everything looks good. We get a green check mark. It says prompt will send to GPT. Okay, cool. But we also need one more step which would allow ChatGPT to send us an email. So what we need is Gmail, which should be right here. Okay, I would automatically connect it. How handy is? Make sure you connect this third step to the email where you would like to receive the email. So the action event for this, however, is going to be send email, which is right here. Now, just hitting next. So two. So I'm just going to put in the email where I would like to receive it. Then the areas with a little red star is where you actually want to pay attention a lot more. For now, especially as a beginner, make sure they're filled out, otherwise, this might not work. So the subject line is going to be new client summary. And now in the body, what I'm going to do is hit the plus button right here, and over here is you can tap on the second step, and this is going to give you a bunch of choices that you can select that what the body will include. So I'm going to just type out. Here is a new client lead. Why did I spell that with the capital? And I'm just gonna hit this because here I can actually see how the response would be made. So, for example, we have Jane Smith a coaching business owner, so it's naming the name and the business type from the form is facing. So it's pretty much giving us a full summary of what the form said and also giving us suggestions of what Jane might need for her business. So I'm just going to select response. This is very useful. It is very automated in that sense. You don't have to code it. You don't have to, like, make your own kind of order of these kinds of responses, which is cool. So from here, let me make sure I'm not missing A areas. Okay. Of course, you can go ahead and add a CC or just start customizing really to your liking. But from a beginner perspective, at first, it's always easier to simplify, just so this kind of information isn't scary. So I'm just going to hit Continue and test this step, as well. Okay, it seems like worked. We have a green check mark again, and a message was sent to GML. Let's go to GML and check our inbox real quick, just to verify that it worked. So here we have a new email, new client summary. Here's the text that I put in. Here's a new client lead. And here we have what ChatGPT actually generated. So Jane Smith, a coaching business owner is facing challenges in consistently attracting new leads. She also struggles with converting website visitors into paying customers. And here's a suggestion. Address these challenges, Jane may benefit from lead generation and conversion optimization services. Cool. Okay. I love this. For especially even a small business owner, this really does take off a lot of weight from one's shoulders, especially when you have, like, this kind of assistance and such, like, repetitive tasks. So automation with ChachPT is definitely a big advantage and something that people don't use enough, in my opinion, because there's a lot of benefit. From here, you would just hit Publish, and you have your automation officially running and helping you out run your business successfully. To recap this lesson, GPT plus Zapier can save a ton of time of repetitive tasks like intake summaries and even follow ups. It is ideal for solepreneurs, freelancers, marketers, and really anyone who is juggling a lot of moving parts all at once. Again, you need to know that you will need a paid OpenAI account to make the ZAPR plus GPT connection. So keep that in mind. And even if you're a free user, you can still use Zapier manually. You just won't have GPT in the loop automatically, unfortunately. But I hope you learn something new, and I hope that this really does come very handy in your daily life, your business, because I really do appreciate these kinds of automations, especially with HGPT. I'll see you in the next lesson. 22. Leveraging Reusable Content Workflows: In this lesson, we will look at how to use ChatGPT to generate content that is ready to reuse across your favorite tools, whether that's notion, Google Docs, Excel, Canva, or slides. When you're building content or managing tasks, reformatting things manually can eat up a lot of time. But with a little bit of prompt planning, you can have ChatGPT deliver content already structured for the platform you're working in. So let's say I want to draft a blog post outline for Google Docs or Notion. This works for both. I would give ChatGPT this kind of prompt. So create a blog post outline on Remote Work in 2025. Format it in Markdown. So I can paste it into Google Docs. You can say Notion or whatever it is. So let's hit Enter. And ChatGPT will create this Markdown formatting that will actually make it pasting into Google Doc super easy because everything is already formatted for me. So you're not going to need to tweak any headers or even bullets. Now, next up. Let's create a table for, let's say, customer feedback that we can drop straight into Excel or Google Sheets. So going back to the text box, I'm going to put in a prompt saying I need a customer feedback table. With columns for name issue and resolution out put in a CSV format. So here we have the CSV format of the table, and from here, you just copy and paste it into Excel Google sheets, like I showed before, but now we actually can select copy and go to your Google Sheets. And just paste it. And there you go. That's just as easy as the previous one. And when it comes to this kind of stuff, you can also actually have it create some text blocks for a presentation that you're making on Canva. So for example, you can go back to the chat box and say, create three slide headlines and bullet points for a presentation on, let's say, sustainable business practices. And here you have the same thing, and you can, as well, go back, copy the title of this, go to your Canva design and paste it. I'm using my keyboard because that short gets very easy for me. And from here, that would be your title. And going back to your chat GPT, just copy the bullet points and change. Okay. And, of course, from here, you can start adjusting and designing to your own liking. But this is how it will go. So I'm going to do only one example, but going forward, this overall makes this kind of presentation making much easier. When it comes to the compatibility, this works both on the free and the paid plans. You'll get the cleanest formatting, however, using GPT four oh and GPT 4.5. GPT 4.1 Mini can work for simple structures. Just double check formatting before copying. And pretty much this is how you can use HHIPT to prep content for Notion, Google Doc sheets, Canva, you name it. The key is to structure your prompt with the end format in mind, so it can be markdown, CSV, slide bullets, whatever you need. It's a massive time saver and makes HachiPT way more plug and play for your daily workflow. 23. Building Prompt Templates for Repeat Use: A big time saver when using HHIPT is actually creating prompt templates you can reuse over and over again. You don't need to set up any automation or advanced tools. Just build a solid prompt once and reuse it weekly, daily or whenever you need it, like a shortcut to consistent output. Now let me walk you through an example of a reusable content prompt. So I have it copied right here, which I have it saved on my Google Docs, and I just copy it, go to ha HiPT and paste it into the chat box. Hit Enter, and HachiPT will give me a whole content calendar. Here you go. And that was that easy. I had prepared this prompt way before, and from here, I can actually always tweak the topic. So, for example, it doesn't need to be AI trends. I can do remote work or digital wellness. For example, I have a copying, let's paste it again. Let's do something else. Remote work. And here, by changing the topic, I get a whole new thing with the same structure. I didn't need to rewrite the same prompt twice. Even make a little folder of reusable prompts, one for content planning, one for email writing, one for research, et cetera. If you ever build a Custom GPT, you can paste them into the instructions field, so they're always ready to go. These prompt templates are a simple, practical way to speed up your workflow. Just write it once, reuse it whenever needed, and make the adjustments as necessary. 24. Understanding ChatGPT’s Data Capabilities: ChachiBT can actually help you clean up messy data. It can interpret spreadsheet content. I can analyze strends and even generate summaries or visualizations. You can do this in two main ways. So first of all, you can paste the data into the chat, like a table copied from Excel or Google Sheets. Or you can upload a file, either a CSV file or an Excel file. You can do this in two main ways. You can paste the data directly into the chat right here, like a table that is copied from Excel or Google Sheets, or you can upload a file, either a CSV or an Excel file by pressing on this little plus sign and then add files and photos. From there, you can ask questions like, what are the most common issues in this support log? Which product had the highest sales in the first quarter? Can you spot any trends or anomalies in this data? This is especially useful if you are an entrepreneur who is making sense of reports or maybe a student writing a data driven paper or even a marketer reviewing campaign performance. So you don't really need to sort rows manually or build pivot tables because Chachi Bit can help you understand and explain your data in plain language. Next lesson we'll be uploading a sample file and walk through a full analysis from raw spreadsheets to actionable insights. Let's jump in. 25. Analyzing CSV or Excel Files: Let's get into the real power move. Uploading actual spreadsheet files and having ChatGPT do the heavy lifting for you. Now I'm going to click on this little Plus button and select Add photos and files. This way, I can upload files straight from my computer. I'm going to select this example file and hit Upload. Once it is uploaded, ChatGPT we'll show you the name just like this and confirm it's pretty much ready to go. Now we're not done. I'm going to go into the prompt section here and start typing away. Please analyze this data set and give me insights on top performing products, monthly sales trends. And any anomalies. Any anomalies you notice. You'll see how ChatGPT will process this data, and as you can see, it broke down the information into human readable summaries. This is, honestly way faster than going through the rows myself. Here we have sales anomaly says unable to display the visualization. That's okay because I never really asked for visualization. But here we have some insights, the top performing products, monthly sales trends, sales anomalies. Now, significant anomalies were detected. Maybe that's why it was unable to display. So here we go and here's all the data, but now we can take it a little bit further. So we get to dig a little deeper and ask it to create a summary and also visualize it in a bar chart. So I'm going to start typing. Can you create a table summarizing the monthly trends and sualize this as a bar chart. It's not a question. It is a statement. Okay. If you are on GPT four, Oh, like I am, as you can see up here, you will see this kind of native chat appear in the chat. And this actually helps you a lot because you don't really need to fire up Excel or Google Sheets. You get all the visualized data right here in ChatGPT. And now let's squeeze out some insights. I'm going to go back to the prompt and start typing. Do you see any out liars or have any commendations based on this data? And it has broken down everything that we need to know in a beautiful way, go recommendations, performance trends, and outliers, everything that we needed and more, conveniently more. So this works both on free and the paid plan. So you can upload files and analyze them. But deeper analysis and visualization, like I just did, and of course, cleaner formatting works best with GPT 40, which is part of the plus plan. Users, of course, have the ability to upload files, but it is limited on how many files you can upload per day, so keep that in mind. Overall, this kind of workflow is perfect for anyone who's working with reports, survey results, product tracking, really anything you name it. In the next lesson, however, we will look at using ChatGPT to extract insights from pasted data without uploading any files. 26. Text-Based Data: So what if you don't have a spreadsheet to upload or you're on the free plan and you unfortunately have hit your file upload limit for the day? Well, like I said before, don't worry because you can still analyze data inside GPT by just pasting it as plain text. So here's how it works. Let's say you've got a small list of expenses, something like this. You can copy this from any other source that you have. Go back to ChatGPT. I usually put these things in quotes, paste it in. I just used my keyboard shortcut, which was Command C. And now I'm holding down Shift and return on my keyboard so I can put in my prow because we're not done here yet. I'm going to ask it to group these by category and show totals in a table. And boom. Everything is organized and everything is calculated. This is absolutely perfect for things like quick budget reviews, tracking simple lists, or even categorizing survey responses. Now we can take it a step further. You can also organize this information in any way you want. So I'm going to go back to the prompt box and say, now, sort this table by total spent highest to lowest. And here you have it completely organized. So this, like I said before, works for both the free and the plus users. There is no file upload necessary, which makes it super easy. And, of course, as you can see, this is best used with smaller databases. And also, this kind of thing works across the GPT models. However, the formatting is much cleaner with GPT 40. Yeah. Even without uploading anything, you have still got a solid way to break down your data fast just by pasting and prompting. It's like Excel light, but in a conversation. 27. Data Cleaning & Formatting Help: All right, so let's talk about something that might not be super flashy but still is super important when working with text or spreadsheet data, which is cleaning and formatting. So imagine you've got a bunch of messy data, names typed in all lowercase, maybe dates in random formats, or even a mix of columns you would want to clean up before uploading somewhere, right? So this is actually where ChatGPT can seriously save your time. Don't need to be a spreadsheet wizard. You can just describe what is it that you want to Cha GPT, and it will handle the logic for you. So let's say you have a list that is super random. Here, I'll copy an example in the chat box. So as you can see, you have all this messy data here. Got names and random letters and random sizes. The dates are kind of whacked. Like some are written like this. The other ones are written differently. So what would you do in this situation? So you have all this data. I'm just going to put this in quotes just because I'm used to doing that at this point. And now you would type in this kind of prompt. In this data. So each name is in title case, and all dates follow the day month format. So I'm exactly describing what it is that I need GPT to do. I'll hit Enter and watch the magic unfold right in front of your eyes. As you can see, it fixed up the names. It capitalized the first letters of each name, and it fixed up the dates. And now I can just hit copy and paste this data in wherever it is that I need, and everything is consistent and everything is clean. You can also change, for example, Jason to CSV, or you can also convert full names into separate first slash last lame columns. Also, this is one of my favorites. You can turn paragraphs into bullet points. So if you need to change of format there, this is a super fast and easy way to do that. So you pretty much just describe what you want clearly. And, of course, the more specific, the better. And of course, this does work for both free and paid plans. But if you are using GPT 4.5, it will be even more accurate for things like JSON structures or larger data tables. And GPT four oh is also great, especially if you're working fast and on the fly. Cleaning and formatting data doesn't have to be a drag like we all are familiar with. Just paste it in, describe what you want and ChatGPT will do the heavy lifting. Hope this comes in handy, and I'll see you in the next lesson. 28. Productivity Workflows: Let's talk about productivity and not the boring, rigid kind, but the kind that actually helps you get your life together without feeling overwhelmed. ChatGPT isn't just for brainstorming or writing. It can actually help you organize your entire week, balance your personal goals, and even take over some admin stress. So maybe you're juggling side projects, self care or just trying to remember to buy basic things like bread and butter. Chachi BT can actually help you with this. Let me show you how it's done. So first, you're going to start with a basic prompt. I'm going to put in, help me organize my week. I need time to work gym, of course, grocery shop, and read. I'm going to hit this, and Chachi PT might come back with some questions about or not this time, but it might ask you some more specific questions about your schedule. And that's why you can start feeding in more information. Or from here, you could be like, Hey, no, but I don't work these hours. I work these hours, and then it would adjust the schedule, but as you can see, it has created me schedule based on this information right here, which it assumes that I work 8 hours gym three to five sessions. So if you want to tweak that you can be like, No, maybe I want to go to the gym twice a week or maybe seven days a week. Depends. And same goes for everything else. But as you can see, you have a beautiful schedule right in front of you, which is fully adjustable. Now, you can follow up this with something like, can you turn this into a table with days times and task durations. Here we go. We went from here, which was pretty good to this. So, I suppose for now, we have a table for Monday, but then can go back and tweak more things, put everything else in a table, but you got the idea of how easy it is to create a very organized schedule for you. And now here is a bonus prompt. If you want to take it a step further, you can actually follow up with another prompt to really improve your life. So let's say I have some issues with creating healthy meals, for example. I'm going to say, give me three healthy meal ideas. I can prep in under 30 minutes this week. And ChatGPT follows up with a couple of healthy meal options for me, giving me all the ingredients and even the instructions. And this as a busy person, this can be extremely helpful. So besides scheduling out your entire week, it can also help you with healthy eating in a very organized way. Next up, we will zoom into how Cha chiPT can help you handle emails and calendars. So I'm looking forward to that. I'll see you in the next lesson. 29. Email & Calendar Help: Okay, let's dive into how ChatGPT can help you with two everyday tasks, writing emails and managing your calendar. If you're drafting up something new or polishing your updrafts, ChatGPT can jump in like your personal editor. For example, let's start with a prompt. Let's say draft an email asking for feedback after our product Launch. And what Chachi Pitt is going to do is give you a clear professional message that, of course, after that, you can tweak a little bit. So we have a whole template ready. Here is where you would put your actual information. But here we have the main body of the email, and as I said before, from here, you can make it more casual or maybe more concise or more enthusiastic. It really depends on what you need, and you would just follow up with another prompt asking to adjust it. This is a really solid way to stop overthinking and just hit Send much faster. You can also do is paste in a messy draft that you have and just ask. Let me paste in the draft right here. Quotes in why not? No. Here we have the messy draft, for example, that I have, and I'm going to say, Ken, you rewrite this to sound more confident and friendly. As you saw, the draft was pretty not great, not something you would want to send out. It said, Hey, just wondering if you had time to look at the doc I sent last week, no rush if you're busy, but it would be great to get your thoughts when you can thanks. Also written in a very unprofessional manner, and it came back with just checking to see if you had a chance to review the doc I sent over last week. I really value your thoughts when you have a moment. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything from my side. Thanks so much. It has also made the overall look of the email much more professional. And I do I do personally use this feature a lot. When it comes to the calendar integration, if you have a plus plan and you have actions enabled in your settings, where you would find that is go to your profile picture on the right hand corner and click on settings. I don't have actions right now, unfortunately, but you would find them here. But if you have these actions enabled, this is where you can actually have ChachiPT help out with your calendar. So by having those actions enabled, then you can go on and ask it to schedule meetings or block off time in your calendar directly. So this also is pretty useful for staying organized without bouncing between apps. It's like having your own little assistant. So when it comes to the email help, of course, this option is available for both paid and free plans. However, the calendar integration is only available for plus users who have actions turned on. So if you have a tricky email sitting in your drafts, you can also drop it here into GPT and for example, help me respond to this in a respectful but direct way. You'll get a suggestion that saves you a lot of time and stress. Next, we will explore how to use OpenAI's operator for daily tasks. So think of it as giving ChatGPT even more real world powers like sending messages or fetching info for you. I think it's a game changer for boosting productivity. 30. Deep Research Digest & Voice Mode: Okay. Today we are unlocking something next level, deep research. Think of it as your personal research magician. It scours the web across multiple steps, pulls in the latest info, and drops a neat sighted summary. No more endless Googling for us. I'll also show you how to ask follow up questions hands free using Voicemde because sometimes typing is not an option. All right. So now let's make sure we have a brand new chat waiting. And also, I will need to switch the deep research mode on and show you how it works with a real world example. So if you go down here, buy tools and click on that and select Deep Research, now the deep research is enabled, and you can start asking your questions. Before we start, I want to preface that this is a plus and a pro feature. So if you're on a free plan, unfortunately, it's not available, you might want to upgrade to unlock this feature. But now I'm going to paste in a prompt like this. So the prompt is very simple. It says, Track and summarize the top three climate tech funding rounds announced in the past seven days, include company names, funding amounts, and sources. And hit Enter and you will see the difference on how the output is going to happen. So as you can see, first of all, I don't get a full answer. What it does is actually asks me for follow up questions so Chachi BT can really get this down and correct. So let's read what it said. To make sure I capture the most relevant information, could you clarify? Should I focus globally or just on a specific region, example, US or Europe? Are you interested in only private venture capital rounds? And, three, would you like details about what each company does or just the funding data? Once I have this, I'll get started right away. Okay. So I'm going to do my answer just so we could move on with this process. But this is, I think, very unique where instead of you giving a prompt and the AI just does whatever it can, it actually comes back and really clarifies to really ensure that the output is the best that it can be. So, let's answer some questions. Let's focus on Europe and private venture. Okay. Here I have answered all the questions. And now, as you can see, again, it hasn't given me a full breakdown of the answer. It actually is taking its time doing deep research. Hence, it is called deep research. It is actually digging very deeply and researching. And a lot of times this kind of research for ChaGBT can take quite a bit, you know, it's not something that we all are used to, like, a couple of seconds with deep research, it actually can take like five or 10 minutes sometimes. It also depends on how late it is in the day. Maybe there's a lot of people online. Maybe you have slow Internet. It really depends on many things, but this kind of feature takes its sweet time. So, we're just going to sit back, relax, grab a cup of tea or coffee, and wait for the results. Okay, as you can see, we have something already popped up. Not going to get into it now because I really want to go over the full thing, so I'm just going to exit from here, but we can see the progress happening right here. So now I'm back and we have the output all ready, and the deep research is all laid out. First things first, notice how it didn't just spit out, just text that has been bullet pointed randomly, right? That is very important because this window is all the research that it did, and it took 6 minutes with 14 sources and 56 researches. So this wasn't just some random generation. This was actually deep research. So without too much reading exactly what it's saying. We can just expand it. And first of all, see the layout, which is absolutely beautiful, and it looks like an actual research paper. But then if we scroll down, we have the citations which actually happened to be clickable. So if we click on one, it brings us to the exact place where this information was taken, which this in particular is from EU Startups. Going back out of 14 sources, it gathered all of these citations that are completely available to click around and read around yourself if you're interested. You can also find them here next to the actual test that represents that information, right? You can also click on these, and it will take you right to the place. But let's just look at the overall information. So the title is top three European Climate Tech VC funding rounds past seven days. We have Dexter Energy Netherlands. The funding is 23 million raised. Cool. We have a description. We had lead investors and announced. Then we have Tulum Energy, Italy, same thing. All the information's broken down, and all of it is backed up with clickable citations. I emphasize it so much because for someone who needs to do deep research for school or work, this is incredibly useful because you end up not spending your own time and wasting your own time, essentially, just kind of going around and verifying the information, trying to find it by Googling. You can just click on here and really make sure that ChatGPT has done it correctly. Right. So that's pretty cool. Then we have I'm not sure if I'll be able to pronounce that. Anyway, it's Germany. And here we have also the sources where it mainly took. So we have the tech startups, EU startups. And at the bottom, you can find the main sources where it got all this information, which we have three sites, we have tech startups, EU startups, and a artists. So also, again, clickable. Now, another cool thing that you can actually do with this, you can download it in a PDF. So if you want to use it in a project or you just want to have it on your device, whether it's your iPad, iPhone or phone, your tablet, your computer, you can totally do that by just downloading and you'll get a very clean PDF. And, of course, also you can share this link here. But usually, you also would get a pin button, but sometimes ChachiPT has some UI bugs that unfortunately, I cannot see the little pin button anywhere, but it usually is down here where you can click on it and save it for later in your ChatGPT account. So the cool part about this whole thing is voice mode because not always typing is an option, as I said before. And to activate voice mode, again, it's super simple. Just click on this little soundwave button right here, and you should be able to talk to ChatGPT. I'm going to hit on this button and continue this conversation with clarifying some things with my voice. So let's click on that. We'll hit A LOW. Okay. So can you summarize any new climate tech funding rounds announced today? So one of the notable climate tech funding rounds announced today is for a UK based company called Lumen Stream. They secured 1.2 million pounds in investment, led by a local Angel Investment Syndicate and Co fund three. They're focused on expanding their lighting as a service model, which helps businesses cut down on CO two emissions and operational costs. That's pretty cool, right? Alright. Thank you so much. Welcome if you need any more. Alright. So you saw how it responded talking back as if it was a real conversation. I know we covered this already in one of our previous lessons, but I really, really do like voice mode, and especially when you pair it up with deep research, you can genuinely end up being an experience where there's just two researchers trying to get to the most valuable information. And again, this is also very amazing for multitasking. So you can use this on your phone or on your laptop, on your desktop computer anywhere. This is your shortcut to staying on top with credible up to date insights. So no endless searches, no guessing, smart, source backed info delivered your way. I absolutely love this pairing, and I really hope that you learn something new and then you get to use this in your projects. 31. Recipes, Travel Planning & Life Help: Let's talk about one of the most fun and surprisingly helpful ways to use ChatGPT for personal life help. So maybe you're planning a dinner, a weekend getaway, or just trying to figure out what to buy at the store. JGIPT is basically your go to life coordinator. Let's start with food. So you can ask ChachiPTTs like, give me a week's worth of easy grocery, easy vegetarian dinners. And here you have a beautiful list of vegetarian dinners that you can implement in your week. Beautiful. You can also do something like I have eggs, spinach, and feta. What can I make for lunch? You have many ideas for your lunch with just the ingredients that you already have. As you can see, ChatGPT has thrown together a whole list of ideas. And also, if you want, you can ask for step by step instructions on how to prepare these meals if some of these look or sound, especially delicious to you. And, of course, like you saw before, I mentioned that I'm a vegetarian, for example, if you have any other dietary needs like maybe your gluten free, dairy free, maybe low carb or anything else, you can include that in your prompt, and Cha chiPiT will make sure to note that when it gives you, for example, a grocery list. So let's say now I'll be gluten free. I am gluten free. Make me a grocery list based on this diet. And you even have categories. So you got produce, pantry, staples. Got to have those, dairy and eggs, extra flavor boosters. If you're new to a diet, this can be very useful because, for example, there are things that I didn't know that had gluten in has gluten in them. So this can be very, very helpful. Now let's level up. Ji BTs also amazing at planning entire trips, especially when you are short on time or just short on brain power, which happens to the best of us. So, for example, we can continue on this chat or actually, I'm going to start a new chat. And for example, I am going on a trip, and I need some advice. I'm going to say I am planning a three day trip, let's say, vegetarian trip to Lisbon. Suggest a full itinerary. And boom, you get suggestions for restaurants, sights to see, cultural and even sports things to do. This is very rich and very worth trying, especially if you travel a lot to a lot of destinations that you're not familiar with. And also, you can get some hidden gems from these kinds of suggestions as well. Another way to even dig deeper, you can follow up with something like, what's the best way to get around Lisbon without renting car if we're talking about unfamiliar destinations. And you have a couple of suggestions that you can definitely take into account and plan around and make your vacation or your trip even more stress free. You can also adjust your itinerary. For example, you're more into nature. So perhaps when it comes to the itinerary, you can ask, can you adjust the itinerary to include more nature spots? Now Chachi PT has a tailor made list for you to do and explore Lisbon in your own taste. So with this kind of method, you're not just getting general and generic advice. You're actually having, like, a conversation that gets smarter the more it gets to know you. And overall, you get some good advice. So the point of this is that you don't really need to do anything alone anymore. You pretty much have a side kick in your pocket. Couple of quick notes before we end this lesson. I wanted to mention that, of course, this kind of interaction is available for both free and paid HGBT users. You can ask for recommendations, checklists, plans, or even reminders to help you follow through. And, of course, the more context you give, the better the output. And, of course, the more context you give, the better output you get. But of course, even the basic prompts work, and then you can do your own adjustments. I'll see you in the next lesson. 32. Voice Mode in Real Life: Let's revisit something we briefly introduced in the 30 minute walk through, which is voice mode. Now we're going to be diving a bit deeper, showing you why it's actually a game changer in everyday life. So what is voice mode good for? Think of it as hands free ChatGPT when you are practicing a new language, brainstorming ideas on the go, cooking, cleaning, walking, and just need real time help without typing. It's not just about convenience. It's more about fluidity. Having a back and forth with AI that feels more like talking to a really smart friend. Typing into a box. So where do you find this voice mode? If you take a look at my phone screen, on the bottom right corner, there's a white button with sound waves. That is exactly what you would need to tap to start your conversation with AGBT. Oh, that sounds fun. Alright, let's see. First, you could do a picnic in a local park, pack some homemade snacks, maybe bring a blanket and enjoy the fresh air. Another idea is to have a movie marathon at home with a fun theme like pick a genre or a favorite director. You could also do a DIY craft night, maybe painting or making something creative together. Another fun idea is to go stargazing. If you have a clear night, just find a nice spot and maybe use a stargazing app to identify constellations. And lastly, you could do a game night with board games or card games and just help. Friend kind of games would you suggest? Can you give me like two or three options? Sure. For something classic and fun, you could go with a game like Scrabble, especially if you both enjoy word games. Another great option is something like code names, which is a team based word association game that's always a lot of laughs. Okay. I love that. I actually love that idea. Thank you so much. You're welcome. I'm glad you like the suggestions. I hope you have a lot of fun on your date nights. If you need any more ideas, just let me know. So as you see, I was actually also able to interrupt, which made this conversation feel a lot more real and human, which I find very interesting. And it really does adapt and it catches on, and it doesn't go back to what it was previously saying. It actually, like, takes on what you just interrupted it with and carries the conversation. Kind of feature is actually available for both free and plus users, which is amazing. However, the best experience is on GPT four oh, but it does still work on other models. And like I said, you can interrupt it and talk over it, and it will adapt. That's amazing. This is awesome for anyone who thinks out loud, gets ideas while moving or just wants to multitask a little bit smarter. So if you're practicing your Spanish or planning your week, while folding your laundry, voice mode brings a whole new rhythm to how you use AI. 33. What Are Custom GPTs: Custom. Let's talk about one of ChatGPT most powerful features, Custom GPTs. We touched on this briefly in the first module showing you how to browse and try existing ones. Now we're going to go deeper. We're going to learn how to actually create our own. What is a Custom GPT? Well, think of it like building your own AI assistant. You don't need to code. Just use natural language to describe what you want. Your Custom GPT can respond in a specific tone, follow certain rules, focus on a niche or a skill set, and even browse the web, use dolly or read files. Of course, if you enable those tools. Here is what people are building. For example, there is a scriptwriter GPT that helps brainstorm scenes and dialogue. There's a travel planner that finds hidden gem destinations, a sales email assistant that knows your offer and your brand voice, a language tutor that quizzes you based on your level, a study coach that helps you prep for exams, or even a GPT trained to sound exactly like your brand or boss. If you've got a repeated task, content style or workflow, you can probably build a Custom GPT to handle it. Creating Custom GPTs is available for paid users only. Means GPT 40, or higher. Free users can still use many existing ones, but unfortunately, they cannot make them. In this next lesson, we'll actually build one from scratch step by step. So get ready to build your own personal AI sidekick. 34. Building Your Own Custom GPT: Let's actually build a Custom GPT from scratch. This one will be designed to help freelancers with client communication, contracts, follow ups. Basically a personalized assistant for managing projects. We're going to walk through the whole process step by step. So let's begin. First things first, we need to head over to the GPT section, which you can find on the left side on the sidebar, that's a GPTs. You can click on that and from here, go to the right side of the screen and on the upper right corner. Click on Create. Now you are in this workspace where I'm going to go a little bit back and forth with ChatGPT to really figure out what is this Custom GPT that I want to build. So on the left side, it has given me the first prompt, and it says, Hi, I will help you build new GPT. Can you say something like, make a creative who helps generate visuals for new products or make a software engineer who helps format my code? What would you like to make? Now I'm going to put it in my first prompt. So I'm going to say I want to build a GPT that helps freelancers, manage client communication. Okay. Hit Enter, and now it's working on it a little bit. Okay. Great. Now, let's pick a name that fits this GPT's purpose. How about client comp P? That's not a bad suggestion, however, I already have something different in mind. I'm going to say, let's name it Freelance. Buddy. Nice choice. We'll create a profile picture for freelance, buddy. Okay. Now it's going to generate an image. Oh, that's very cute. Okay. I think this is great. Can now try out Freelance buddy in the preview chat to the right. I'm here if you have any tweaks or new ideas. What would you like to do next? Okay, so here we have on the side is the preview chat where we can see more or less how it looks. Now, next, I would like to change this description that is here to something a little bit different. I have prepared something on a Google Doc here, which I'm just going to copy pasted because I kind of predetermined this. I'm going to say, I'd like to change the description to that. Okay, there you go. You see? I immediately changed. All said, description has been updated. Would you like to refine anything else about freelance buddy? Okay. And let me go and copy the instructions that I have prepared. Go back to chat GPT. The instructions are paced and code closed. The instructions have been updated to match your guidance. Would you like to test how Freelance buddy responds now or make further adjustments? So I would like to add a greeting message, which is right here, it says, Hi, I'm Freelance buddy. I can help you write client email, set up contracts or follow up on project timelines. What would you like to do today? I think that is very nice, and it states exactly what is freelance buddy about? So, now I'm going to go back to the chat and say, this should be the greeting message. Okay. So from looking at everything, everything seems to be ready to go. Everything that I wanted to change, I have done, and other things that here, if you click on Configure, this is where you can put in the information that you would want. I did choose to do the chat version, which I personally prefer, but there's nothing wrong with doing it this way. So instructions, this is where I would have pasted them in. Same thing with description, the name, and everything else. But besides that, there's also other things that we can look at, for example, conversation starters, right? Over here, you can actually upload files, and this is where you can upload documents like contract templates or onboarding guides for your GPT to reference later. I'm not going to do that right now, but just so you know this is an option. Well. And now let's go down to the capabilities and make sure that we have everything that is toggled on. Is necessary. We have web search, yes, Canvas. Why not? For our image generation, code, interpreter and data analysis. Yeah, why not? And of course, you can adjust these conversation starters, which are these little windows that you see when you first open a Custom GPT. I'll keep it as is. I think they're great. But if you want to add something or say take something off, you can do that here. So I'm going to click on Create. So for now, I'm going to keep anyone with a link. So gonna hit save, and the GPT is finished. Let's start with a test, prompt and see how it goes. I need to follow up a client who's Mm hmm, who's late on their invoice. Can you help me write firm but polite email? GPTs working. Okay. I love that. So we have a template for an email. Hope this so no. Follow up invoice, invoice number. Good. Invoice date. Okay. It seems firm, but it is polite. So I would say that this was a success. And it's very professional, especially if this is for a freelancer who needs to, of course, come across very professional and polite to their clients. So I think this is a big win. So before we go, here are a few pro tips. You can, of course, go back and edit anything later that is always an option if you any adjustments or as you're using it, maybe you have new ideas for it. You can easily go back and edit just about anything about your Custom GPT. You can, of course, keep it private or publish it publicly with other users. And all of your GPTs live under Explore and M GPTs. Let me show you. If you go to your left sidebar and click on GPTs. This is where you will find all of them. So you go to the left side and click on My GPTs. This is a list of everything you've created, and here we have Freelance Buddy that we just made together, and here you go. On the left side, if you click on the dropdown menu on Freelance Buddy or your GPT, hit on Edit, and this is where you can make further adjustments. And there you have it. You just made a full functional assistant using your own instructions. Congratulations. 35. Memory vs Custom Instructions: To Let's clear something up that trips up a lot of people. The difference between Custom instructions and memory. They sound similar, but they work very differently. Here's how to tell them apart and when to use each one. First, let's start with Custom instructions. We touched on this back in the intro module. You can set these in the settings. Click on your profile picture. Go to settings, personalization. Custom instructions. They're great for setting up your vibe and your preference, for example, like your preferred tone, which can be casual, formal, Gen Z coded, et cetera. Also, biobasics. So this would be what you do for work and your goals. And finally, response style, whether you want things to be brief or detailed. So Custom instructions are static. You write them once, and ChatGPT refers to them in every new chat. Let's talk about memory. Memory is way more dynamic. It's like long term knowledge ChachiPT collects and uses to give you more personalized help over time. Here's how it works. You naturally mention something like, I'm a UX designer working on a portfolio site. ChatGPT quietly adds that to your memory. In future chats, it might say, Here's a layout idea for your portfolio. It remembers your goals, your interests, even your preferred tools. You can always view, edit, and delete anything it stores. As you can see, here I am in the memory area, and it is toggled on. So it will reference chat history, which is what you've mentioned before, like I said, and reference saved memories. So now I'm going to go back to Custom instructions. I'll put in my nicknames Alex, and I'm going to say I'm a UX designer and want to build a career coaching side hustles. Side hustles. Let's keep it up there. And now I'm going to hit Save. And now we have those personalizations saved. Now I'm gonna go back to the homepage or the front page, and I'm gonna start a new chat, and I'm gonna say something like, can you help me plan content for my career coaching? Blog. Okay. So let's take a look at what it generated. So let's build a strategic content calendar for your career coaching blog that supports growth, engagement, and trust. First, I'll assume you are targeting young professionals and mid career changers, people seeking job search interviews and personal branding advice, possibly freelancers or remote workers. How convenient. And here is your calendar. So do you see how you remember the context without needing to be reminded? So this is how it works. What you put into your custom instructions is what Cha HiPT will know about you, leading for your conversations to be a little bit more productive because you're not going to have to put in 101 things about yourself or your goals, right? Now, who gets access? Memory is being rolled out to all users gradually. But pay plans get better access to editing, full control, and more consistent results. So just a reminder, use custom instructions to set your general tone and intro info and use memory to build a smarter AI assistant that grows with you over time. 36. Advanced Prompt Engineering 2.0: Now that you have built your first Custom GPT, let's push even further and see how power users automate code and integrate ChatGPT into full workflows. But for this lesson, let's focus on writing some prompts because by now, you've probably gotten very comfortable with writing prompts that get you decent results. But when you start asking ChatGPT to think, reason, or plan, the basic prompt structure sometimes just doesn't seem to cut it. In this lesson, I want to show you two patterns that power users use to get smarter and more reliable responses. These patterns are chain of thought and the REA framework, which stands for reason, expand and answer. These are subtle tweaks, but they make a huge difference in OA quality, especially for research, decision making, product thinking, or really anything strategic. Now let's make sure we have a fresh GPT 40 hat open, and let's dive in. So first up, let's talk about chain of thought. This is where we ask ChatGPT to break things down step by step before giving us an answer. This one sentence upgrade can completely change how it responds. Let me show you. I have a document prepared here with some prompts, but let's focus on these first two ones. So this is the same prompt. It's just one is default and the other one is enhanced with this kind of pattern. So the prompt says, What are the risks of the EU AI Act for startups. Not a bad prompt at all, but let me show you what happens when you put these two kinds of prompts side by side. So I'm going to copy that with Command C on my keyboard and then Command V in the ChatGPT, and let's run this first. So the answer that ChatGPT will give with this kind of prompt is not bad at all, but it's just a little default. It's a little basic. So we have high compliance costs, time to market delays, regulatory uncertainty. So it's not, as I said, not a bad response at all, but it's just a little bit generic. And here is where the improvement comes with the chain of thought pattern. I'm going to go back to my document and now copy this enhanced version of this prompt. Now the prompt instead says, act as a policy analyst thing step by step. Then summarize EUAI act risks for startups. So as you can see, this prompt has been enhanced with the chain of thought. I'm going to again copy it and paste it in the chat, and I'll show you the difference that this makes. Let's run that. And here you see the structure has already improved quite a bit. We already have a step by step, which we specifically asked for. So first of all, it understands the structure of the EUAI Act, which previous answer didn't quite do. And we have everything broken down in a very beautiful way. Then we have identified compliance requirements, evaluate capacity of startup. So it's really analyze every single aspect of what I just asked. And now we even have the summary beautifully organized in a table very easily readable and, of course, the final take. So this difference between these two responses is astonishing because it really goes in and breaks down every single thing. The response you got here is actually something an analyst would send, right? So with just a couple of words, you can improve the output that you get. So what we are doing here with this is encouraging Cha EPT to slow down its thinking. So that means fewer gaps, clearer logic, as we saw, and more persuasive answers. So maybe this can be great for consultants, analysts, and creators who need depth. Let's go back to my document, and I'll show another quick example. I'll copy this. And this prompt, as well, has been enhanced with the chain of thought pattern. So the prompt says, You're a UX designer. Think step by step through improving a homepage for a personal finance app. Then summarize your recommendations. So again, we are giving it almost a role. So it kind of really fills in those shoes and starts thinking from another perspective, from a professional's perspective. And then the step by step part also very crucial and, of course, the summarizing. So again, let's run this prompt. And again, you will see how the output is much more. And again, you will notice how much more specific and concise these outputs are when you enhance your prompts with the chain of thought pattern. So we have step by step, define user goals, audit the existing homepage. We have some solid recommendations and suggestions, and again, a beautiful summary at the end. So you can adapt this to your own role or even niche. Just adding things step by step to your prompt can intensely level up your output. Now I'm going to open up a new chat. Now let's talk about the REA framework, which, again, is reason, expand and answer. So this prompt pattern is powerful when you want ChatGPT to weigh both sides of something or come to a thoughtful conclusion. Go back to my prompt document, and let's put in this prompt that has been already formulated in this manner. So I'm going to copy and paste it. The prompt says, se reason, expand, answer to evaluate the pros and cons of AI generated ads. Let's run this and see how much more beautifully we get the output. So we have three pros and three cons. Let's take a quick look. So we have the reason, expand and answer. And all of these sections have been organized in such way with reason expand and answer. And then going back to the cons list, as well, we have the reason expand and answer. So all of these are organized in this kind of matter. Which, of course, helps us really narrow down the information. And at the end, we have the conclusion, which is exactly what this really shines with. Let me explain how this works. So when we go up to the pros, for example, so the reason, what is the reason. The reason is the why. It tells the model to pause and consider the logic or core issues behind the question, right? Next up, we have the expand section. The expand is the context, right? It tells GPT to elaborate with examples, comparisons, or even counterpoints. And lastly, we have the answer which is the final step. This is where you get the summary or the recommendation. So this can be especially useful if you're writing a report, you're analyzing something for work, or just trying to avoid surface level answers that you would get if you would skip this part of your prompt. So instead, you would say, evaluate the pros and cons of AI generated as, and then you would also get a very default answer. But just by adding use reason expand answer, this is what you end up getting, which in my book is way better. Whether remote workers are more productive than in office workers. This is a very good question and something I'm personally very interested in. So let's see. First pro, we have fewer workplace distractions. Okay? The reason remote workers often have more control over their environment. I approve. The expand section says at home employees can minimize interruptions like office chatter, planned meetings or noisy environments. Many report better focus and deeper concentration. And the answer, remote work can significantly boost productivity for tasks requiring sustained focus, especially in well managed home setups. Okay, so again, this is a very easily digestible output, which can be super useful if you're doing heavy research on something, not even heavy research, just research in a way where you don't want to weed out the extra information. So to wrap this section up, here's a pro tip, you can combine the RA format with a role. So you would assign a role in the same prompt as using the reason expand and answer method. So, for example, this is a quick example I put together. It says, act as a hiring manager. Use reason, expand and answer to weight the value of remote first culture. So what you're doing is not only using the REA, which already organizes the output and makes it very specific, but you're also add a role, which pretty much guides a ChatGPT in a way where it gives you the output from someone else's perspective, whichever or whatever perspective you're looking for. So not only can you add a role, but overall, by separating the steps, you're basically teaching ChatGPT to think before speaking. This can be a very powerful move for complex decisions or maybe risk assessments or really any time nuance matters. Now let's take it a step further. Sometimes you don't just want a written answer. You want structured data that you can reuse. That's where Jason OPA comes in. Let me go back to my prompt page and copy this prompt, which says, return your answer in JSON format with keys, pros, cons and mitigation. So I'm going to command C that right into hA GPT with Command V. As you can see, the output isn't in regular text. It is in JCN format, which is JavaScript code, pretty much. So now we're going to quickly go through the output that we got. We have pros. AI generated ads can quickly produce large volumes, okay, cons and as you can see, it's actually also listed out. So we have one, two, three, four, five different cons and same thing for pros and also mitigation. Let's look at that. Use human oversight to review and edit AI generated content before publishing. This is amazing if you're working in notion or Air table or just building workflows in Zapier, for example. You can take this raw response and plug it straight into your tool. You won't need to do the copy paste cleanup because with this, you can just put it in there and it's already going to be formatted correctly. So this kind of method, when you're requesting JCN format, it can be really great for, as I said, air table records, maybe even product feedback databases, and automation tools like Zapier or make or retool. So to wrap this up, I want to leave you with a mini challenge. Go back to a recent prompt you wrote, maybe for writing, planning or strategy and add either think step by step or use the REA format. Compare it to your original responses like we just did in the beginning of this lesson. Because what you will see is that you'll see immediately how much more clearly and helpful these outputs become. These aren't just prompt hacks. They are actual ways to make Chachi PT think more like you. More context, more reasoning, and less guesswork. Hope you had fun in this lesson, and I will see you in the next one. Oh. 37. Code-Interpreter Deep Dive: Alright, so you've already seen how CahiPT can work with files, like giving you insights from a CSV or generating tables. Now we are going to take that up a notch by diving into something way more powerful Code-Interpreter. This feature isn't just for developers, even though it might seem like it. It is really for anyone who wants to analyze, clean, and visualize data without touching a spreadsheet formula. Walk you through a real use case, merging two sales files, fixing the data, and getting presentation ready charts in seconds. So now, make sure you have a clean GPT four oh chat open, and let's get cracking. So the Code-Interpreter is automatically enabled, and you will know it is active when you see this little plus symbol, which this is how you would upload your files. But you can also drag and drop. So I already have two CSV files prepared. One is quarter and one is the quarter of sales data. Now, I'm just going to highlight both of these and dragon drop into the chat like so. These files have missing values and slightly different structures, which you will see shortly. But this is very common when working with quarterly reports. So now, when I have both of my files uploaded, I'm going to start typing my prompt, which is super simple, and I'm going to explain. But first, let me type that out. I'm going to say merge, fill nulls, pivot, total revenue by month, draw line and bar charts. So before I send this out, let's break down this prompt so you know exactly what's going on. First of all, I'm asking it to merge. So this is going to combine two of these datasets, o quarter and ir quarter into one unified table, pretty much. Phil nulls will fill Nulls is for if there are any empty cells, so like missing revenue for a product, for example. This is how we tell ChachiPT to fill those with a zero. This will prevent month errors later. We don't want blank spaces breaking our totals, right. Next up, we have the pivot total revenue by month, which this means pretty much recognizing the data so that it shows monthly totals instead of row by row transactions. And finally, draw line and bar charts. So it's pretty self explanatory. Tells Ja GPT to create two types of visualizations, line charts that will show trends over time and bar charts to easily compare values. As we all know, visuals make data easier to understand. We are turning a spreadsheet or in this case, two spreadsheets into a story you can see at a glance. So now you will see it walk through the merge, clean the nulls, and create the pivot all using Python under the hood. So now I'm just going to hit Enter and send it out. So as I said before, it has some missing data, and it's not very consistent. But here, if I scroll down, this is the output. So we have two of these beautiful charts that I specified with the line chart, and it has filled in the empty spaces and created a very beautiful chart. For example, we have 2,400 revenue in January of 25, and then we can see some stagnation, growth, fall, serious growth, and then a little bit of a fall. Beautiful. Next up, we have the bar chart, which does make it easier to compare the revenue at a glance without really looking into the numbers as much. And finally, we have the table with the combined information from both of the CSV files that I uploaded. So these are all auto generated charts from the information that we put in with no spreadsheets involved, which in my book is quite the win. So if you ever need a dashboard or report graphic, this is a very quick way to get the visuals that actually work. So here's a little pro tip, though. You can also ask ChatGPT to customize these visuals. You can do it either by clicking on this little adjustment button and you can change, for example, the colors of your bars, or you can also go into the chat and ask for things like make the bars green. Now it will give us the same bar chart just with green bars. Well, you can also ask for label the months, here we have the months all written out. You can really go as creative and as detailed as you want. There really aren't any rules. Just ask plainly what it is that you would want to customize about these charts. Now let's export everything. So how can you export these charts? I'm going to go back to the original ones and just click on this download chart button, and it automatically drops it in whatever folder you have set up for your download. So let me show you. I'm going to go down open my download fold. Now, let me show you. I'm going to go to my Download folder, and here are the both of these downloaded as PNGs. These outputs can go straight into reports, slides, social posts, whatever you're working on. If you want even more control, you can ask Chad GPT to merge datasets as a cleaned CSV. So if you need a CSV file, you can just ask for it. This is a great method for backups and even sharing. Now let's just take a step back and take a look at what we just did. We did merging inconsistent files, cleaning data, pivoting by time, and visualizing trends. This would usually take a bunch of steps in Excel or Python. But in ChachPT it took us minutes. So with code and interpreter, you literally just used one prompt. This kind of process is amazing for small business reporting, maybe marketing, campaign analysis, or even school projects. And the best part is that you do not need to write a line of code. Just give it clear instructions and let it handle the messy stuff. Alright, I will see you in the next lesson. 38. OpenAI API “Hello-World”: It's time for us to level up. We've been using HHIPT through its interface so far. But what if you want to plug HHIPT directly into your own code? This is where OpenAI API comes in. And don't worry. You do not have to be a full stack developer to follow along, even though it might seem like it, because I will walk you through the simplest working demo using Google collab, which is a free tool from Google that lets you run Python code directly into the browser. So this is going to be our Hello world moment HGBT style. First step, we should probably open the collab site. I have it right here, but you can access it by typing in colab research.google.com. Next step is going to be opening a new notebook. I'm going to go ahead, click on file and click on New Notebook and Drive. This opens a new window with a new notebook. You can rename it up here, which I'll rename it. Hello world. ChatGPT. I think that's quite accurate. And this is where you're going to be putting in your code and running it. So first things first, we need to install the OpenAI library. And we can do that by pasting in a simple code. I have it prepared right here in my document. I'm going to highlight it Command C and Command V in this line. And this pastes in the simple code that will essentially summon OpenAI. Before I run it, let's just take a quick look. So the code says Install OpenAI, 0.28. So 0.28 is the version. Using this version because it works with the older API syntax. It has less setup and more results, holding shift and hitting enter or return. So this is going to run the code and connect us to OpenAI. There we go. The connection is successful. If you see an error message under here, you can go back to your code and just make sure you have typed it out all correctly. So now we're connected to OpenAI, but we also need to connect to our own ChatGPT account. So for that, we will need some more code. Here, you probably notice it says paste your key. This is where you need to get your own API key from your OpenAI account. I'm going to be pasting in mine, but then deleting it right after this recording because it's very important for you not to share your API keys because they are like passwords. So if you are doing your own recording, make sure you blur it out or delete it right and write in between the quotes. And also, notice that this code includes a prompt, which says, write a haiku about sunrise. So this is what the response should look like. It should respond with an answer. So now to run it again, shift and enter and here we have the response. Golden Hues, awaken nature size. The world ignites Dawn's gentle promise. Beautiful. Love that. So before we move on, let's just kind of digest and dissect this section of code just so we could understand what is what, right? So again, going back to the API key, this is what allows you to connect to your OpenAI account to your ChatGPT account, so you can actually talk to it because remember that GPT, you can only get API keys. From any kind of paid subscription, so you cannot get it from a free account. To run this, you're going to need yourself a subscription. Next up, we have the hat complete create section, which this sends a message to ChatGPT using GPT four. Then we have the messages, which includes the prompt, and the response object contains the full chat reply. But this is just for the sake of example for this lesson. Because this will demonstrate something very interesting. You know, run it. And as you can see, so the prompt here is, what is the weather like in Paris? And we have the city and state location, get weather and all that. So because it's not connected to the back end, it won't actually check the weather, but I think this kind of action actually shows how ChatGPT structures responses for function calling. So this can be super helpful for developers. Another example I would like to show you is how this simple code can send a prompt and get a response from ChatGPT. So again, copied it, and I will paste it here. Now, again, we have the chat completion create. We have our message, which includes this prompt, write me a short poem about space. So the response should be a poem. So again, I will just shift and enter, and the poem should appear right here. There we go. In the depths where silence blooms among the stars and cosmic ums. Interesting rhymes. But yeah, this is another really great example on how to communicate with ChatGPT through. So again, we have the chat completion create method, which expects the whole conversation context to be passed in the message list. Then it replies with a new message continuing the conversation, which you can then show or use as input. For the next turn. And having system messages lets you steer the AI's personality or instructions before the user message, which for us is you are a helpful assistant. And the structure lets you build multi turn conversations by adding previous user and assistant messages into the message list. And here is a pro tip for my beginners out there. If you want to keep chatting with the AI and a loop, just append new user messages and AI replies to the messages list before calling chat before calling chat completion, create again. That way, the AI remembers the full chat history. And this is pretty much it. It's not very complicated. All you need is a couple lines of code and a keyboard. Before we wrap up this lesson, I do want to say again that be very careful with your API keys. Remember to delete them after you use them or at least store them securely using ENV files or environment variables if you're working on real apps. That's it. You have now sent a real API request to GPT four using nothing but a few lines of Python. This is how developers bring ChatGPT into their tools, dashboards, automations, and even apps. You can build chat bots. You can generate content, analyze data. Anything you've learned in this course can now live inside your own code. I hope you had a lot of fun and you learned something new and I'll see you in the next lesson. 39. Zapier End-to-End Automation: We have built prompts. We have built Custom GPTs and even played with APIs before. But now I think it is time for us to level up just a little bit more, we're about to connect three tools that not only we already kind of talked about Module five, but you already probably use these tools in your every day, which is Google Forms, Cra GPT, and Slack. And again, we're going to do all of this through Zapier. This kind of automation is something that can save you hours because imagine if every time someone fills out your feedback form, it gets summarized by GPT and sent straight to your team's Slack. Does that sound good? Sounds good to me. So no manual copy pasting, no back and forth, just instant clarity. And this kind of automation process is how real teams scale, because if you're a solo freelancer, maybe you're running a startup or managing even a big team, automating communication is not only time saving, but is key to success, in my opinion. And again, the best part about this is that you do not need to know any coding. You just need to do a couple of smart clicks, a GPT prompt, and you're good to go. Without further ado, let's begin and set it up together. So first things first is before we get Zapier to talk to ChatGPT, we need to fund the API. So I know we talked about API keys before a little bit in Module five, but this time, I want to actually show you exactly how APIs work and how you can get them running. So first things first is you want to head to platform dotpai.com. I have it opened right here. And make sure you login with your HGPTPlus account. So you're going to have to have a subscription with your GPT. Now, I'm going to go on the right side of the screen and click on this little gear button right here, which is going to lead me into settings. And on the left side, I am clicking on Billing. So now from here, we're going to go up here and click on payment methods. And as you can see, you already have a credit card uploaded. But how you can add your own payment method is just click on this little button and fill out your information, and you're good. So you can also do PayPal, which a lot of people I know prefer. So you have options, and this is a and I do want to note that this is separate from your ChatGPT plus billing. So you won't be billed twice. I do want to note that this is separate from your CHGPT plus billing. So in this case, you won't be billed twice. It's just you need some credit for your API key so you can make those connections. Now I'm going to go to the usage button right here and click on that. And this is where you can actually monitor your usage and your credits and how much you have left and all that fun stuff. Also, here, you can set your hard limit of I did $5 right here, as you can see, and I've used it once. That was for our Module five lesson on connections with Zapier. The cool thing about just adding $5, which is not that much money is that five bucks is more than enough. Each summary will run is about 100 to 150 tokens, more or less, which is under $0.01 per call. So with $5, you can get very, very far. So now, when you have your $5 uploaded, you're going to go to API keys right here on the left side. And here we have a list of previous keys that we've created, but you're going to click on create a new secret key. So I'm going to click on that. You can name it. Let's do Module nine, just so I know what it's for. I'm just going to select default project and click on Create Secret key. Now I'm going to copy this, and we're done. It is copied. And from now, next thing, we're going to paste this into Zapier. Okay, so we're going to head over to zapier.com. Again, make sure you log into your account. So from here, I'm going to go to the left side of the screen and click on App Connections. And here you have a list of things you've connected we did already connect to GPT in Module five. But for the sake of the example, I'm just going to do it again. I have taken it off from this list, so I can demonstrate to you how it's done. So what I'm going to do is click on add Connection, and here is where I'm going to search for the app. I'm going to type in ChatGPT. You should find it right here and add connection. So this is where we're going to paste in the API key. So command V, and, yes, continue to ChatGPT OpenAI. There we go. This is how simple it is to connect your Zap your account directly to ChatGPT. So whenever you're going to make a separate zap, you're not going to have to do it every single time. You already have it connected. You're just going to have to kind of click from the little menu bar later. But this is a cool way to overall connect. So from here, we're going to start creating the automation process. I'm going to click on this big orange button, create and select Zap. And here we go again. You should probably already know how this is going to go if you paid attention in Module five less than one. But if not, let me refresh your memory. So first things first, we need the trigger. So let's click on this little window that says trigger. And from here, we're going to select Google Forms again. Now we have Google Forms selected, and we need a trigger event, which is going to be new form response. And from here, again, we have to reconnect to our Gmail account. I'm going to do this one. And all is good. Okay, now I'm just going to hit Continuu and now I'm going to select this customer feedback form. It is exactly the same as we had in Module five Lesson one. About Zapier automations, because the whole setup of the form is exactly the same with three very simple questions. Feel free to use your previous form, whatever you want, but I'll have this as a new kind of VSCase situation going on. So I have selected the form that I want, and now I'm just going to test this trigger and see if it will pick up the correct information. Okay, so here, after the test was run, we have a green check mark. All good, and this is where we see that he actually picked up the information. We have the name, which is from the form, product, and the feedback. So now all of this is set up. Now let's continue to the next step. Now, the action is going to be, again, chat GPT. So I'm going to select that. And from the action, event is going to be again, we can do send prompt, or you can also do create chat completion, both work. I'm just going to stick with prompt. And from here, as you can see, I have already connected to my ChatGPT and I didn't have to put in the API key separately because we already just did. So all is good. Going to hit Continue. And so when it comes to the model, for example, you can choose any kind of model that fits your automation. I am going to stick with GPT 3.5 turbo because it is very reliable in this case, but you can also use GPT 40. For the example, I'm going to stick with that. When it comes to the prompt, so I have, again, made a whole little document. I have two prompts here, and I'm just going to copy, paste this in there. So what does it say says, summarize this customer feedback in three bullet points and suggest one next step. Include the customer name and the product. And we have everything laid out. So this is very similar to the previous prompt that we used in Module five. So Command C on my keyboard, going back to Zapier and Command V. So I'm going to click B Name and I'm going to hit the Plus button. So this is why it was so important for us after we tested this step because it actually picked up the answered questions. So from here, we should find them. And here it is. So from Google Forms, name, same thing is going to go for the product. If the copilo has not suggested, just keep scrolling on your selected Google form. And the product corresponds with product and feedback, same thing. And now we have this all set up so we can exit from this little window. And a very interesting thing about temperature, I thought I would point out. So this number actually controls creativity. So at where I have it now at 0.7, this is a nice balance. It is creative but still grounded. So you can go up and down whatever you find necessary, whatever fits your vibe. So I thought that was interesting to know. Now we're just going to hit Continue. And from here, we're just going to test this step. Okay, so the test is done. We have a green check mark. Again, all is good, and the interesting part is that you can actually see response from ChatGPT right here. So our prompt asks to summarize this in three bullet points, include the name and the product, and also give the next steps, right? So let's take a look. It says, Rai Patel is satisfied with the overall performance of the SmartBke 3,000. So both the name of the customer the name of the product. The gear shifting on the bike feels rough after two weeks of use. That's the feedback, and this is the next step. Next step, suggests checking and potentially adjusting the gear shifting mechanism on the bike. So everything worked fine. And from here, we could hit Publish or we could add another step, and this is where Slack will come in. So hit the little plus button right here, and from here, choose salac. So we have the Slack app right here. We need to choose an action event, so click on that. And from here, I'm going to see if I can find Send channel message. So in the search bar, send channel message right there. So select that and, of course, connect to your Slack. I already have it connected. I'm just going to hit Continue. And here is where we're going to choose the channel. So this probably makes more sense to do in the customer feedback channel. So I'm going to select that. And here in the messages, we're going to go back to the document, copy this, go back to Zapier and paste it Command V. And as you can see, there is a little bit her, but that's okay because that was a placeholder, so click on that, delete it. And what you're going to do here is that add the ChiPT response, right? So, click on the second step, and you want to have this as response because this is what we want to be posted on the channel in Slack, right? So this is the generation that ChatGPT came up with, okay? So we have that, and it's going to start the post with new feedback summary. So now we can also give the bot a name. Why not? Feedback Bt. Say that five times fast. And from here, we're all done. Let's just hit Continue. Okay, let's test this step and see what happens. Okay, a message was sent to Slack about 0 seconds ago. It looks like it worked, but let's verify it. Again, I'm going to go onto the Slack page. And as you can see here, it is sent by Zapier. I've already done a test run with this, so let's just give it a little B, I worked. Round of applause. Alright, so to wrap it up, here's a couple of notes. Again, as I said before, each GPT call here costs less than $0.01. So with $5, you can go very far and do a lot. Also, don't forget to monitor your usage limit on platform.ai.com because you can actually see how much you've spent, how much you have left, and it's very useful to track these things. Cool thing is that with this kind of automation, you can replace Slack. You can replace Gmail. You can use notion. You can use Trello. Like, the parts are all moving and all flexible. The only thing that stays put is ChatGPT, and you can build yourself some really solid automations. Can also switch the form to collect testimonials, report bugs, or even collect interview answers. As I said, the middle step stays the same. So have fun, keep experimenting, keep building. And most importantly, make sure to use this to make your life easier and your work smarter. I'll catch you in the next lesson. 40. Super-Charging a Custom GPT: Let's kick this lesson off with a real upgrade. Earlier in this course, if you remember, we built a basic Custom GPT called freelance Buddy, which was a helpful little assistant for freelancers managing clients. But now we're going to turn it into a Power domain using two features. First one is a Custom PDF upload, so we can reference your own knowledge. And second one is at web browsing, which lets you pull real time information from the Internet. Ing these two features together makes your Custom GPT that much more powerful. This lesson is all about taking what's already working and turning it into something you would actually trust with deeper and smarter tasks. So let's start with uploading a document. So why does this matter? Because a Custom GPT that understands your exact workflow, legal structure, and terminology is actually ten times more powerful than one that just guesses. So first, we have to access our GPTs. So first things first, we're going to go here to the side and open the side bar and click on GPTs. Now, from here, we're going to click on my GPT. So this is going to be where you're going to find your custom ones that you have made yourself. And from this list, we'll find our beloved friend trusting little freelance buddy will make sure to hit this edit GPT button. Okay. So from here, I'm going to go to Configure section right here and start scrolling a little bit lower. So now when we're here by the knowledge section, I'm going to hit on Upload Files, and it's going to drop me into the folder where I have this sample contract prepared. I'm going to click on that and hit Upload. The document has been uploaded. So what this does is embed the contract directly into GPT's brain, so to speak. I know it sounds weird, but that's essentially what it is. It doesn't just scan it once. It can actually reference this information in this document in future chats. That means instead of giving you general advice about contracts, it can actually say things like, Oh, based on your contract, here is what Clause three point something says. It's pretty cool, now. A quick note, I do want to mention that this works with any readable PDF. So it can be anything. It could be, for example, your company internal documentation. It can be product manuals, client onboarding sheets. It could also be brand guidelines and even study guides or technical specs. So of course, the cleaner the file, the better the results. So think of it as feeding your GPT, the playbook, it should follow. The possibilities of all kinds of documents are actually endless, so you can really get creative with this. So from here, we have this file uploaded, and now we're going to go down here by the capabilities. So we want to turn on the web search. This is what's going to allow this GPT to actually start searching on the web. I know that I toggled this on in our Custom GPT lesson, but I wasn't really thinking about it. I was just kind of showing what you could do, what can and are free to opt in for. But now actually pairing up web searches with a PDF uploaded information, this really makes this GPT a powerhouse. And I do want to remind that this web browsing is not the browse with Bing tool that I've mentioned before, because this is now a core capability built directly into GPT four. Be with web browsing, your GPT can fetch real time news. You can get stats from government or even academic sites. You can get current pricing data and many, many more things. I could go on for hours listing everything that I can do, but I think the pictures pretty clear. Now that we have everything done, let's give it a quick little test. Here on the side, I'm just going to paste in a prompt I have prepared just to test out what it can do with both of these on. So here's the prompt, and I'm just going to send it out. The prompt says, What payment clause does the PDF suggest for wind one authoriative, source. And here is the answer. So first things first, here is the outcome, and you can see that it has pulled up an actual clause from the contract, which is great reference. And also, it has pulled up a source from the Internet, which is from freelancers Union Contract Guide. And it's a clickable link. I can click on it and see where it's getting its information, verify it. And this combining the actual clause from the PDF I uploaded plus of information from the online web world. This is an amazing way to get your Custom GPT to be a real beast. So overall, this kind of conversation makes me feel like it's an actual consultant, and it's just not guessing things from thin air or guessing its sources. So that's pretty cool. So now I'm just going to hit Create and click Save. And now we have our Custom GPT freelance buddy updated and upgraded to the MAX. So now when we have our freelance buddy all powered up, let's take a second to pause because what we just did is a massive shift in how we interact with AI tools because we're no longer just prompting. We are curating our GPTs knowledge and expanding its reach to the MAX. It's like pretty much building your own expert assistant that understands your exact workflow, your lingo, and your goals. And here are a couple of ideas from my side from how different industries might use this kind of upgrade to their Custom GPTs. So, for example, we have maybe coaches and educators. They could upload their lesson plans and guides. Also, small business owners could benefit from this by uploading policies or contract templates. Also, don't forget about designers because designers could upload brand books and client briefs. Also HR teams with employee handbook. So the possibilities here are actually endless, and the best part is that you are in control of the content. And also, by the way, you're not just limited to one single file. I forgot to mention that. You can upload several. And it really is up to the platform's file limit, and it just depends on how many you're able to upload because of the sizes of the documents. But your GPT will use all of them together in context. So do remember that. And overall, this pretty much means that your assistant your GPT can speak from multiple guides all at once. So if you have many documents, it can do pricing, delivery timelines, legal notes, all Baten all in one. And that's how you can supercharge your GPT. It's pretty much one toggle, one upload, and you end up getting a giant upgrade. Now your assistant is no longer generic. It is informed. It is a cured and tailored completely to you. In your capstone project later in this course, feel free to try this. You can upload something real or even if it's a cleaned up sample, and you will see how much better your GPT performs. To end this lesson, I would like to tell you that this is exactly what separates power users from casual users. And now you are in the first category. I hope you have fun with this, and I'll see you later. 41. Introducing the Capstone Projects: Alright, you made it. Now it's time to put everything into action. This is your capstone, your final challenge. Don't stress though. It is totally flexible and creative. I have designed three project options and you only need to pick one. Choose the one that actually excites you, something that you would actually use in your own work or creative life. Before we get into the projects, I would like to take a second and look back. You have learned how to prompt like a pro, how to analyze data, how to automate tasks, and even build your own Custom GPTs. In my book, that's a big deal. Now let's apply these skills to something real. These capstone projects are like mini simulations, designed to reflect actual tasks you might do as a creator, a strategist, a freelancer, or just someone who's curious to build something with AI. You'll find this presentation PDF in the resource section. You can use it to help you map out your chosen project step by step or just as your personal checklist. Okay, let's get into it. First project is Project A. Create a Custom GPT for a niche use case. So this kind of project can be great for you if you are someone who's creative, maybe a freelancer or even a niche educator. You're going to make your own AI assistant for a niche task, something very specific. So, for example, it can be a GPT that helps beginner photographers learn composition techniques. This can be great for anyone who wants to scale their expertise, build a tool for a community, or even launch a micro product. If you've ever wished you had a digital assistant trained in your specific niche, well, then this project is for you. Now let's talk about the steps that you will need to take to complete this project. First step, you'll need to pick a niche. Just like I just said, the photography example is great, but you can pick whatever speaks to you most. After you have picked your niche, you will fill in the fields. So like we saw in our Custom GPTs lesson, you'll fill in the name, the description, and instructions. After that, you will write a short, welcoming greeting message, so something that will greet the users of your Custom GPT. And finally, you will add a simple prompt users can try out. Then you will test it, tweak the tone if necessary, and just make sure it works. And, of course, don't forget you have the option to add the file upload, and here's a little bonus for you. You can add the option to upload files or even use Dolly for your GPT. If it needs more functionality. Remember, one thing with Custom GPTs that when you're building one, make sure you're using natural language and not like coding because that is actually what builds these GPTs. Next step is our second project, Project B. This is about designing a visual product workflow. So if you are a marketer, a designer or even an Indie founder or a product developer, this project can be very interesting. You will walk through a fictional product launch, kind of like a fantasy board game, and you will let GPT help you bring it to life visually and even strategically. This mirrors a real world product and content design workflow. You will be combining brand story, design, vision, and visuals all in one flow. Now let's talk about the steps that you will have to take. First up, you will ask GPT to name your product. Describe the concept, and, of course, outline the launch plan. After that, you will ask for a branding theme and packaging design ideas. And finally, you will generate a product image using Dolly. It can be a box, a bottle, or an app screen or just about anything that will reflect your idea best. And as a bonus, you can actually request a product description or an ad copy for a website or a sales page. So with this kind of project, you will notice how quickly ChachiPT can go from idea to visuals to marketing copy. That essentially is a full stack creative workflow in minutes. If you're more into the creative product visuals, you can definitely pick this project, but now let's move on to the third and last one, which is Project C. Build a research report using GPT four O's, real time info. So if you're someone who's more into analysis, maybe a student, a strategist, or even a journalist, this kind of project can be very interesting. The skills that you will need for this kind of project is, of course, real time research, summarizing structured reporting and ChatGPT memory. You'll create a short briefing report like a mini white paper on a real world trendo. So it can be about AI hiring, remote work, or climate tech, really anything that you can think of. This is kind of like a power move for anyone who's doing competitive research through leadership or even staying on top of their field because haGIPT in this instance, becomes your personal co researcher. Now when it comes to your steps for this project, you will begin by asking ChachiPT to look up the latest stats, insights, and sources using its built in browsing. Next step, you will summarize the most relevant findings, of course. And lastly, you will ask CachiPT to format the content as a report, blog post, or a slide outline. A bonus for you is you can turn it into a concise summary you could send via email or a pitch deck. So this reinforces the power of pairing AI with human judgment. You will let ChatGPT do the heavy lifting, but you will shape the insights. As I said before, choose wisely whichever project speaks to you most, but most importantly, of course, have fun. And after you are done with your project, take a second to reflect. Look at what was it that worked best for you? What surprised you about ChatGPT abilities? And what would you like to do next? What would you like to build or even explore? Whether you will create a GPT, maybe we launch a fictional product or deliver a research report, you just brought an idea to life with AI. That's quite the big win, and that's the whole reason behind this course. Best of luck, have fun, and I'll see you later. 42. Class Project: Choose One Capstone Project: The previous lesson, we explored three different capstone project paths you can take using ChachiPT. Now it's time to choose one and build it. For your class project, pick the option that best fits your goals and interests. Whichever option you choose include these three things. Number one, a short explanation on which project path you selected and why. Number two, the prompts, instructions or workflows you use. Number three, one or more example outputs showing your results. Screenshots, text examples, or short descriptions are all perfectly fine. Focus on clarity and not polish. Once you upload your project, I will be reviewing them and leaving feedback. You'll also be able to explore how other students approach the same tools in completely different ways. This project is about application, not perfection. Choose one direction, build something useful, and make ChatGPT work for you. 43. Congratulations! What’s next?: Congratulations. You have reached the end of this class. You have explored HGPT from the ground up from basic prompting and interface settings to advanced tools, creative workflows, data analysis, animation, and Custom GPTs. More importantly, you have learned how to think in systems, not just single prompt. ChatGPT evolves constantly, but the fundamentals you have learned here like structuring prompts, guiding reasoning, combining tools, and building workflows will continue to serve you no matter how the interface changes. Your next step is simple. Keep using what you've built, refine your prompt use your workflows, experiment with new ideas, and don't hesitate to revisit lessons as HIGPT adds new features. If you haven't already, make sure to upload your class project. I would love to see how you're applying these tools in your own way. Thank you for learning with me and for being part of this class.
