Setting up Projects in ChatGPT and Claude for beginners
188 segments
Hello everyone, this is Bravesa patterns
and in this video we're going to be
covering AI projects. Now if you've been
using tools like chat GPT or anthropic
cloud you might have noticed a really
frustrating problem. Every time you
start a new chat you basically just have
to restart from the complete beginning.
The model doesn't actually keep context
it doesn't remember information doesn't
remember files or any of that stuff. So
projects actually solves that problem.
Let me show you what I mean. So here I
am on my chat GPT interface and to
create a new project I simply will
select new project give it a name call
this wedding planning and then I'll
create the project. Now here I can add
files. This is where I can actually
throw in every single piece of
information that was used in this
wedding planning document. So think the
entire set list of all the guests that
are going to be there. I can throw in
every single meeting transcript that
I've had with the wedding planner. Um, I
can add in all of the food vendors that
are going to be there in the area. So,
all of that information can just be
thrown here. I can really do the same
thing on Anthropic Cloud as well. So,
here I added in the meeting transcripts.
So, this is a bunch of fake meeting
transcripts uh between a couple of
different people here that are getting
married. It I also have some information
on food vendors as well as the wedding
information. So, now if I ask questions,
so suppose something like can I get a
chocolate cake for my wedding? it's
going to be able to reference all of
those files when it's giving a response.
So, it says, "Looking at your wedding
budget, I see that you have a $500
budget. There's no uh flavor, but you'll
want to consider a bunch of different
things like the size, um if it matches
the aesthetic, any dietary
recommendations. Let's ask another
question. Do I have a song picked out
yet?" Right? So, this is something that
was referenced in the meeting
transcript. that based on the wedding
planning documents you have your first
dance song that's perfect by Edurren. So
I'm going to say where is that
information and it's going to be able to
provide me from the meeting transcript.
So it does say it over here when this
meeting happened and where that
information is detailed. So how do you
actually add something to your project
knowledge? Well suppose I remove this
food vendor research. I can click on add
content to the project and I can either
add some text content blah blah blah
blah blah or it could be for example
information from my Google drive and if
you link your Google drive you can
actually pull all of your files from
your Google drive here. Um you can also
add code. So over here I connected my
GitHub repository directly to Enthropic
Cloud. So I can select a repository and
then based on all of those files in that
repository it's going to be able to um
access or the either the entire
repository or the specific files from
there. So over here I can say look get
all of these files add this over here to
the knowledge base and then I can ask it
whatever question that I would want. Now
I wasn't joking I really do use projects
for every single thing. Uh as an
example, if I have to create a
PowerPoint presentation on whatever
topic, what I would do is like I'll
simply take in every single piece of
information that I have and I'll just
throw it over here. Then I'll actually
give it a prompt. So for example, the
prompt that I give here is create eight
PowerPoint slides about the wedding. Be
as detailed as possible, include a bunch
of bullet points in each slide. I also
said make it content rich and give me
VBA code that I can copy paste into
Microsoft PowerPoint. So what that means
is while it's actually creating this
code, let me show you how you can really
easily add that to Microsoft PowerPoint.
So first you want to open the program up
when you see PowerPoint for the first
time, you will not have this developer
um available. So you have to first
enable it. Click on file and then select
options.
After that you want to click
on customize ribbon and then over here
you want to scroll down and just make
sure that this developer is checked.
Then you can select okay and after you
do that you should be able to see this.
Now why this is useful is I can then
click on visual
basic and this opens up something like
this and over here I need to click on
this dropdown and select
module. Now over here, what I can do is
simply copy this code that I got from
Claude and then go back over here
to this window and then select run. Once
that's done, you can see here that
actually creates a PowerPoint set of
slides and this is what it looks like.
So we have a bunch of slides all about
the actual um wedding information. Now,
obviously, it's not formatted great, but
that's not a big deal because I can
simply click on
designer. And then here I have a bunch
of different design templates that I
could use. So, as an example, I could
say this one or maybe even this one
looks like it's a ring, for example. I
can even click on see more design ideas
to see what other ones are available.
Let's just pick one at random. Let's
just say I'm going to pick this one.
Well, then if I go to the next one, by
default, it is going to be able to allow
me to take elements from the same theme
that I have. So over here, I can either
take some stock pictures cuz this is a
garden event. So maybe I can just add
this picture in. If I wanted to, I could
delete this picture, add my own picture.
It doesn't really matter, but this
allows me to really then customize um
each of my slides. We could also use the
knowledge base for something else.
Maybe, for example, asking questions
about um the code. So like, hey, can you
tell me about where this function is or
what file references this function or
maybe can you help explain like this one
particular part of this codebase? So
those are a couple of different ideas
and really I would say like this is a
great tool. If you're not using it,
definitely add it or at least try it
out. Um, it really helps to separate out
all of your different chats. Just helps
you keep memory of all of those pieces
of information. And if you wanted to for
example not provide any proprietary
company information or something like
that well you could also create your own
version of projects over here on open
web UI. If you go over here to maybe
your workspace you can create a
knowledge base and just like how you
have a knowledge base for u the wedding
information you can create another
knowledge base over here and then u you
have a model that can just essentially
reference that knowledge base. kind of
works similar to that, but I still like
the fact that we can really separate out
each one of those products. So, for
example, if I'm working on wedding
planning stuff, I just need to click on
wedding planning and then I have all of
my details, all of my information over
there. So, that's pretty much it for
this video. Thank you all for tuning in.
I appreciate you for your time. I'll see
you in the next one. Goodbye.

The video introduces a tool called "Projects" that addresses the limitation of AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Anthropic Cloud not retaining context or memory across new chats. Projects allows users to create separate project spaces where they can upload various files, including documents, meeting transcripts, and even connect to cloud storage like Google Drive or GitHub repositories. This enables the AI to reference all the provided information when answering questions or performing tasks within that specific project. The presenter demonstrates how Projects can be used for tasks like wedding planning, where it can answer questions about guest lists, vendors, and even song choices based on uploaded documents. Additionally, the video showcases how Projects can be integrated with PowerPoint by generating VBA code to create presentations automatically. It also touches upon using Projects for code-related queries and mentions an alternative open-source solution called Open Web UI for users concerned about proprietary information. The core benefit highlighted is the ability to organize information and maintain context for different tasks, preventing the need to re-explain or re-upload data for each new interaction.
