Maximizing ChatGPT Use

Jun 11, 2025

Overview

The speaker shares advanced strategies, prompt engineering techniques, and practical use cases for maximizing the value of ChatGPT, emphasizing workflow creation, context-rich prompting, and community learning to drive business and personal results.

Key Strategies for Using ChatGPT Effectively

  • Treat ChatGPT as a strategist, requesting insights, tactics, and unique angles rather than simple facts.
  • Provide extensive real-world context and references to get tailored, high-quality outputs.
  • Develop repeatable workflows and systems instead of one-off prompts for scalable results.
  • Layer prompts iteratively to refine responses, moving beyond single input/output interactions.
  • Engage ChatGPT as a business partner, delegating tasks like investor reports, pricing models, and newsletters.

Prompt Techniques and Examples

  • Use polls on platforms like Instagram to test marketing angles generated by ChatGPT and select optimal content ideas via audience feedback.
  • Simplify writing to a fifth-grade reading level for mass appeal and clarity.
  • Analyze favorite authors’ writing with ChatGPT to extract and emulate their effective styles.
  • Craft content with compelling hooks and delayed payoffs to retain reader attention.
  • Source unique quotes from niche texts for presentations or lessons, minimizing repetition and generic content.

Business and Personal Application Prompts

  • Identify industries with poor reviews for targeted outreach or business development using API integrations and data analysis.
  • Brainstorm businesses around trending products, such as Tesla Cybertruck, by leveraging polarizing features.
  • Generate product ideas for specific user bases, e.g., Uber/Lyft drivers and their passengers.
  • Optimize customer reviews into SEO-friendly blog content by integrating targeted keywords.
  • Transform negative reviews into opportunities by creating cold outreach plans for business improvement.
  • Use ChatGPT as a personal coach or therapist by providing nuanced context and seeking balanced advice.

Community and Additional Tools

  • Join AI communities like TK Owners for real-time prompt sharing, tool recommendations, and collective learning.
  • Use model aggregators (like T3) to compare LLM responses efficiently within one workspace.
  • Reveal custom GPT prompts by using specific text code block methods to enhance your own prompt engineering skills.

Workflow and Process Hacks

  • Save effective prompts and responses for future reuse or ongoing projects by instructing ChatGPT to remember them.
  • Summarize long-form content or extract recipes quickly by pasting links or content into ChatGPT and requesting concise outputs.
  • Audit recurring charges by uploading bank statements and receiving personalized financial suggestions.
  • When lacking ingredients, use photos or lists for ChatGPT to recommend meal options based on current supplies.
  • Mitigate detectable AI writing traits (like M dashes) by editing output for human tone.

Decisions

  • Engage ChatGPT as a strategic partner rather than a simple tool.
  • Leverage community resources for continual improvement in prompt writing.
