Give Me 28 Minutes, I’ll Give You 10,000 Hours of ChatGPT Knowledge
922 segments
So, look. If you're happy doing the same
boring, repetitive tasks every day for
the rest of your life, well, then you
can click off right now because the next
30 minutes are for people who want out
of that. You see, most people use
ChatGPT to plan their groceries or to be
their therapist after 5 hours of
doomscrolling on TikTok wondering why
life is so tough. And look, if that's
you, I hate to say it, but you're
probably only using about 2% of what it
can actually do. And that's not your
fault. I mean, this thing doesn't come
with an instruction manual. Now, if
you're happy paying 100% of the price to
use 2% of its features, well, then be my
guest, but this video probably isn't for
you because today I'm going to show you
how to learn 98% of ChatGPT in the next
20 to 30 minutes. I'm going to give you
my favorite beginner, intermediate, and
advanced tips that will help save you
time and get ahead of 99% of people who
pay to use it the wrong way. So, let's
start nice and easy. You see, every
single time that you open up ChatGPT and
you ask it something, you're literally
talking to a stranger. I'm not joking.
You see, by default, ChatGPT knows
nothing about you, nothing about your
job, what you do, how you like things
explained, what you don't like,
literally [music] nothing. So, imagine
you hire a personal assistant. This is
the smartest person you've ever met, and
they could help you with almost
anything, but every morning they wake up
and forget everything about you, who you
are, what you do, how you want things
done. Look, you wouldn't want that. It
would drive you insane, right? And yet,
that's exactly what most people do when
they use ChatGPT. They open it, they hit
a new chat, and they start from scratch
every single time. Now, what if I told
you there was actually a setting in here
that changes all of that, and it only
takes about 1 minute to fix this? Well,
congratulations because it exists, and
it's actually called custom
instructions. Here is where you find it.
You're going to go to settings, then
you're going to go to personalization,
and in there you're actually going to
see the custom instructions right there.
Inside of it, add what you want ChatGPT
to know about you. Tell it who you are,
what you do for work, what you're trying
to get done, and anything else that
helps it understand the context. And
then, tell it how you want it to
respond. The more specific you can be
here, the better your outputs are going
to be. Do you want short, direct
answers, or do you want it to explain
its thinking? Do you want a certain
tone? And just as important, what do you
want it to avoid? Now, look, I know that
sitting there trying to write all of
this from scratch is a lot. So, what
I've gone ahead and done is I've
actually added my prompt that I use
below this video. I actually use this to
set up my own ChatGPT. It interviews you
one question at a time, and [music] it
actually hands you back exactly what to
paste into that box. So, it's in the
description section below. I want to
say, I know that this is tedious work,
but trust me, once it's done, it's out
of the way, and you will thank me later
for showing you this hidden feature.
Now, once you've done that, there is
actually a second layer sitting right
next to it that you also may have missed
as well. And people mix these two
[music] up all the time. So, I want to
make the difference clear inside of this
video. Custom instructions are what you
tell it once, and whatever you add there
stays there unless you go back in and
actually change it. Memory is different.
Memory is actually what it picks up over
time, the more that you actually use it.
I want you to think about it like this.
Custom instructions is like giving
someone you work with a one-page brief
on day one. Here's who I am, here's what
I need, here's how I like things done.
It's as applicable on day 100 as it is
on day one. Memory is actually what
happens from that point on. It's every
conversation, it's every project, it's
every time [music]
that you corrected it. Every time you
said, "No, not like that. Like this
instead." It's basically like you
training your ChatGPT. And with this
feature, it only gets better over time.
But here's the weird part, though. Most
people never even bother to turn the
memory feature on, which is absolutely
insane to me, because why not make your
ChatGPT better and stronger every single
day? It's like hiring someone knowing
that they will never get better at what
they do. It makes no sense. So, here is
how to activate the memory feature.
You're going to go to settings, then
you're going to go to personalization.
Inside of it, you're going to see memory
sitting right there underneath the
custom instructions. Please make sure
it's switched on. And there's actually
quite a cool feature here as well. If
you're curious or you ever want to see
exactly what it's picked up about you,
you can actually go to manage memories
and it's all there. And if something's
ever wrong, the cool part is is that you
can manually go in and edit it yourself.
But, people have a big misconception
with this. They think that ChatGPT only
gets better when OpenAI actually updates
their models. And sure, that's partly
true, but sometimes it's also true that
it gets worse. We've all been there.
They've updated a new model and we're
like, "This was so good last week. Why
did we ruin it?" But my point is is that
this is actually another way that you
can upgrade your ChatGPT. It's a mini
upgrade, if you will. Okay? With this
feature, you are training your ChatGPT
to slowly learn how you think. Now,
sure, it's not the most groundbreaking
feature I'm going to share here today,
but it's easy to set up and it will make
your experience 10 times better. So,
with that said, let's move on to
probably one of my favorite tips in
today's video. Tip three is devil's
advocate. Now, this last beginner tip
will pretty much go against everything
that every other video tells you to do,
or better yet, just forgets to tell you
to do. It's what I call devil's
advocate. And honestly, this is one of
the most important beginner tips. Let me
ask you a question. Have you ever used
ChatGPT and felt like it's just agreeing
with everything that you say? You're
going to type in, "Am I right in
thinking that the world is flat?" And
it's going to find a hundred ways to
agree with [music] you. Look, I've been
there before. And that's why for this
final tip, I want you to force your
ChatGPT to disagree with you. Force it
to play devil's advocate. You see, most
people are using ChatGPT for validation,
to stroke their ego. As I said, you
could type in the most egregious
question and ChatGPT will still find a
way to go, "Yes, you're absolutely
right. That was a great question." And
look, if you think about it, the reason
it does this makes total sense, okay?
OpenAI is a business and just like any
other good business, what is their
number one main objective? It was built
to agree with you, to keep you happy, so
that way you keep coming back. But,
that's also dangerous, which is why if
you don't know what you are doing,
ChatGPT is just going to run laps around
you. And if you use AI just to agree
with everything that you already think,
well then you're just training yourself
to trust [music] it without any filter,
which is exactly what I want you to
avoid. You still [music] need to be the
person steering the ship, the one in
control. Look, I'm going to give you an
example of this. One of the questions
that I always ask my team here at our
company consultant.com is, "What are my
blind spots? What am I missing in the
situation?" Now, you might be wondering,
"Okay, why do you like to ask your team
these questions?" Because I know that
sometimes I don't have the full picture.
So, before you ask ChatGPT anything
important, tell it what to do. Tell it
to tell you your blind spots. Tell it to
play devil's advocate. Don't just ask a
question hoping they will give you the
answer that you want it to give you. You
can explicitly say things like, "Don't
agree with me, play devil's advocate,
challenge my thinking," or things like,
"Give me the strongest possible case for
why I could actually be wrong." And
look, when you do this, you go from
speaking to a yes man to someone who's
actually going to challenge your
viewpoints and your worldview, so that
way you can make better decisions and
make much more well-rounded conclusions.
And by the way, while we're on this
topic, one more thing I want you to be
aware of. ChatGPT is known for
hallucinating. [music] It will
occasionally get things wrong with 100%
complete confidence. But, the problem
is, how do you know when it's
hallucinating? You don't, which is why
you have to be hyper aware of this. So,
here's a system that I have personally
developed to help me detect when my
ChatGPT is hallucinating. At the start
of any chat before I do anything else, I
will always tell it to refer to me by my
first name. Then, if it ever answers
questions without, "Great question,
Eman," for example, then that is a sign
that it's probably losing the plot. At
that point, I'm actually going to stop
and double-check all the information
that it gave me, and that is how I keep
it in check. All right, there we go. So,
with all that being said, that is the
beginner tips done. Most of them, once
you sit down and do it, are pretty
simple. You've got custom instructions,
memory, keeping your chats organized,
and forcing it to play devil's advocate.
Those are the foundations. Now, we're
stepping it up a notch with the
intermediate tips. So, now that we know
how to get ChatGPT to understand us
better, let's look at how we can
actually understand ChatGPT better. You
see, ChatGPT isn't just a tool. It's
really a stack of different modes, where
each mode serves a different purpose.
And understanding what modes are best
for each task is what will get you
closer to learning 98% of ChatGPT.
Knowing this alone can put you ahead of
98% of people, because most people are
not switching modes. They are just using
the standard mode for every task. There
are actually six modes that I want you
to pay close attention to. There's voice
mode, canvas mode, study mode, agent
mode, image mode, and deep research
mode. But, before we continue, I could
sit here and give you all the tips and
the tricks in the world, but what's the
point if you haven't got a way to take
advantage of it? So, today, I'm going to
give away another MacBook. To win the
MacBook, all you have to do is watch the
rest of the video and let me know which
tip did you find most useful. And by the
way, if your comment is an AI comment,
trust me, I can tell, you will not be
selected. So, watch the rest of the
video, leave your favorite tip and why
was your favorite tip, as well as leave
a like, and that's all you have to do.
I'm going to pick a winner and post it
as a pinned comment and in the
description of next week's video. Oh,
and by the way, the winner from last
video is actually in the pinned comments
below, along with instructions on how to
claim it. So, with that being said,
let's actually start with the first
intermediate tip. This is one that fixes
something that's been a real pain for
you in the past. You see, you ask
ChatGPT for something and it comes back
with something close to what you wanted,
but not quite there. Maybe one paragraph
needs a little bit of work, maybe the
tone is slightly off in one or two
sections, and normally, what would you
do in this situation? Well, just like
most people, you're probably going to
spend time retyping the whole thing,
hoping that it fixes just that one bit.
And half the time, it changes another
section that you were actually happy
with. And look, I know how annoying that
is because it's happened to me so many
times. And look, I don't think I'm the
only one, right? You see, that was until
I found this small feature called canvas
mode. It works just like, I guess you
would say an artist canvas does, which
[music] is you're not trying to finish
the painting, but you're focusing on the
place where you can shape the work to
your liking. What it does is that
actually opens up an additional editing
workspace right next to your chat. And
instead of just getting a wall of text
back, you can actually get something
that you can work with directly. You can
refine and tweak as you like. You can
highlight the bits that you want
changed. You can ask for just that
section to be rewritten. You can adjust
the tone. And it only touches the bits
that you ask it to amend. Everything
else can be kept the same. Now, once
you've actually used this a couple of
times, going back to the old way of just
retyping the whole thing is going to
feel absolutely absurd. Trust me, you
will never do that again. The problem is
most people don't even know that this
mode exists. And that's why they only
end up using 2% of what ChatGPT actually
has to offer. Now, speaking about
getting more out of ChatGPT, here's one
that might actually remind you of your
time at school. Einstein once said
something along the lines of education
is actually what remains after one has
forgotten what they actually learned in
school. Look, I never even finished high
school, but I would say that I've
learned a lot in my life.
>> [clears throat]
>> And that's the point. Real learning
isn't what you can repeat the day after
you read it. It's what's still in your
head weeks or even years after you've
learned it. Look, do you know that
feeling where you read something or
maybe you watch a video and you walk
away thinking, "Yeah, I I I get that."
Then someone actually asks you question
about it and you realize that you only
understood half of it. That is the
difference between feeling like you know
something and actually knowing it. And
that is exactly what study mode allows
you to do. If you're learning a new
topic, you can actually ask study mode
to actually give you a breakdown of that
topic and then it will test you on it.
It's actually going to give you some
multiple choice questions to test if you
really understood the topic. Look, this
one reminds me of being back at school
taking an exam. Not something that I
would say I particularly miss, but
definitely a useful tool that you can
use to make sure that you speed up your
learning process. I don't use this
feature too much, but when I really want
to learn something quickly and make sure
that it sticks, then this is the first
thing I go to. So, to actually activate
this mode, all you have to do is click
the plus button, type in @study, and
then select the study mode. Then,
literally paste in whatever it is that
you're trying to learn, and it will take
it from there. All right, so next up is
image generation. If you saw my Claude
video, maybe you remember me saying that
image generation was actually one of its
weak spots, whereas with ChatGPT, it's
one of its biggest strengths. So, I
actually asked it to create an image of
me, Iman Gadzhi, drinking coffee just to
see what it would do, and the output
actually kind of surprised me. It looks
like me, and I actually get my editors
to throw it up on screen. Now, to use
it, here's what you're going to do.
You're going to describe exactly what
you want. And then look, if it gets
close, but something's slightly off, you
don't need to start over. Just tell it
what to change in the same chat, similar
to what I showed you with canvas mode,
and you can actually also upload your
own photo and have it edited from that.
Now look, to be honest, I don't use it
too much. Well, when I was doing the
interior design for our office, I
actually did use it for that function,
but in general, I'm not really sitting
here creating images all day. And
honestly, my designers have told me that
it's not really replacing their design
work, either. But for the average person
who just needs some quick images here
and there, it actually does the job
quite well. Now, the last three modes,
which was canvas, study, and image, are
quite straightforward, because you can
use them easily without changing your
settings. This next one is a small step
up, which is actually why I left it for
a little bit later on in the
intermediate category, but trust me,
it's worth it, because it completely
changes how you do work. Look, if you're
anything like me, you hate typing, okay?
I hate it with a passion. My team knows
it. I would rather just get on the
phone, or even better, send a voice
note. So, if you're anything like me, I
have some good news for you. ChatGPT
actually has a voice mode, and it is a
game-changer. But let me tell you where
this has actually come in clutch for me.
I do this thing called Russian banya
every Sunday night. It's my Sunday night
ritual. I book out the whole place and
what I do is I sit there, I sweat it
out, I clear my mind and normally that's
a couple hours where my phone is in my
locker and my brain is just switched
off. But a couple months back, I decided
to try something out. I had my AirPods
in, ChatGPT voice mode on and instead of
just sitting there in silence, you know,
once I was actually outside the sauna, I
started talking to it, okay? I had a
full-blown back and forth convo with it
about a specific business problem that I
was having. And I actually ended up
having a very similar conversation to
what I would have with my own COO. And
that's really when I realized that
ChatGPT isn't just a typing tool. I can
actually use it in times where I would
just be ruminating about stuff in my
head, on a drive, walking, waiting for a
coffee. If you set this thing up
properly, it gets even better. What
you're going to do is you're going to
pick one device as your main hub and
that is where all of your core work
lives. Then, you're going to install the
ChatGPT app on your other devices. So,
maybe if you have another phone or a
laptop or iPad, then you're going to go
into settings and set up connections.
Inside of here, you're going to connect
your apps and devices so everything can
talk to each other. Now, wherever you
are, you can actually turn on voice
mode, you can brief it on where your
projects are at and you can actually ask
it for next steps and talk through the
work in real time. And what's super cool
is that if you ever need to draft
something, let's say you need to
organize a file or maybe update a doc
and then email it to someone, well then
you can just say it out loud and it will
do it for you on your main device. And
I'll come back to that in just a second.
But here's an insane part about this.
And you know what, in all fairness,
maybe I should have put this in the
advanced section, but whatever, I'll
mention it now cuz we're discussing it.
There's actually an advanced version
[clears throat] of this that lets you
share your screen or camera in real
time. Meaning, you can literally say
that you are stuck on something, like
let's say a spreadsheet or whatever, and
share it directly and just say, "Here's
where I'm stuck, what should I do?" And
it can see what you are seeing and talk
you through the fix step by step instead
of you having to spend time describing
the problem or even worse, having to
type it in. Oh, and by the way, there's
actually one more thing worth setting up
here. If you've got a compatible Apple
device, you can actually turn on your
Siri, which is normally pretty useless,
let's be honest, and you can turn it
into ChatGPT via Apple intelligence,
meaning you get actual answers instead
of Siri just giving you the top results
of a web search. That means you can ask
it more complex stuff, not just timers
and weather. And that means that you get
one consistent assistant [music]
across your phone instead of trying to
bounce between Siri for basic things and
then ChatGPT for everything else. This
is so cool because you can literally
work from anywhere after you set this
up. Now, you know that whole connection
setting that we just set up for the
voice mode. Well, that actually leads me
onto the next tip. I want you to think
about when you first got your
smartphone. Whatever you needed to do,
well, there was an app for it. To check
the weather, you would just download
your favorite weather app on your phone,
or to book a flight, you would just
download another app for this, for
music, another one. And what happened is
that with time, your whole phone slowly
started turning into this home screen of
tiny little tools, each one of them
doing their own separate job. And I'm
sure that if you don't live under a
rock, that's still how you do things
now. What if I told you ChatGPT has its
own version of this? It actually has its
own inbuilt app store. And what if I
told you that most people never even
knew it existed or how to use it. So,
instead of downloading separate apps for
everything, you can just connect them
straight into your ChatGPT. And the even
better news is this. Once they're
connected, ChatGPT can do the work
inside of those apps for you, as I
mentioned in the previous tip that I
gave you. Let's say you need an email
sent. Let's say you need to check your
calendar. Let's say you need to book a
flight. Well, congratulations because
ChatGPT can do all of that for you. That
is your first step in having your own
personal assistant. Look, I'm sure that
every single person who's watching this
channel, especially if you've been
watching for a few years, will get to
the point where you are incredibly
successful and you hire a personal
assistant. And by the way, I can tell
you that once you get there, it is
honestly one of the best ways that you
can spend money in your life. But, until
you do, you can start here, okay? You
don't have to go spend 50 or 100 grand a
year on an EA or a PA. All you need to
do for now is just connect the right
apps. On the left sidebar, click on
plugins and connect any apps that you
want to. The first two that I would set
up are Gmail and Google Calendar. That's
a pretty good starting point. Now look,
I'll be honest, I'm not really a morning
person. I never have been, I never will.
So the first 30 minutes of every single
day, my brain is not fully awake yet.
And the last thing I want to do is open
up my inbox and get hit with 50 emails
before I've even had a coffee. So,
here's what I do. I ask ChatGPT to
summarize everything that came in
overnight, and then I ask it to filter
out what needs a reply today, what can
wait, and so on. And by the time I am
fully awake, I've already removed all of
the unnecessary clutter. Same thing with
my calendar, by the way. I ask it where
the gaps are in the week, so that way I
don't need to think about where I can
squeeze in a tennis session or some
boxing. And by the way, it gets even
better. There are some extra apps as
well. If you like music while you work,
you can actually connect your Spotify. I
like listening to Brain.fm, so I get it
to play some of that. There's even
Booking.com there. Yes, it can actually
help you look at flights and hotels,
too. The point is, ChatGPT doesn't need
to be just you asking it questions. It
can actually get stuff done for you. And
hold onto this, because later in this
video, I'm actually going to show you
how this will connect in advanced it. So
I'm going to share that with you in just
a little bit. For now, what you need to
understand is that once these apps are
connected here, ChatGPT can actually go
and use them for you. You see, now that
you've got your apps connected, here's
another cool use of it. Schedule tasks.
Look, if you feel like you have a lot on
your plate and you want to be more
efficient, this is a great one. This is
where you give ChatGPT the power to do
stuff for you when you want it to. It's
funny, because I used it for this very
video. You see, every week, or at least
I try my best every week, I put out a
new YouTube video, exactly like the one
you're seeing here right now. And every
week, the video needs to be posted on
time. Now, do I want to rely on my
memory for that and remember to do this
myself every week? Absolutely not. Do I
want to chase someone else down every
single week and remind them? Even worse.
So, I literally have a scheduled task
for this. What it does is it
automatically sends a message to my head
designer every week reminding him that
the video needs to go up. I don't write
it every time. I don't think about it
every week. I set it once and now it
turns into a background task for me. And
that's why I love this feature. It's
leverage. [music] You set it once and it
keeps working for you without you having
to carry around all these thoughts in
your head. Now, you might be asking
yourself, "Well, he man, how do I know
which task should be scheduled and which
one shouldn't?" Well, the way you should
think about it is this. Anything that is
monotonous should be automated. If
something happens on a schedule, it
should be scheduled. But, you also don't
want to schedule your whole life away,
okay? You need to be intentional about
it. For example, I wouldn't schedule it
to send me some random motivational
quote every morning. Sure, I guess
that's cute, but it's not actually doing
anything for me. Also, I wouldn't get it
to book a table for me for a one-time
dinner on a random Thursday. So, to
actually set it up, what you're going to
do is you're going to go to the
scheduled on the left sidebar and it's
probably going to give you some options
to get started. You're going to pick the
date and the time and you're going to
tell it exactly what you want it to do.
Now, it could be a reminder to someone
on your team. It could be a weekly
check-in on a project or anything else
that you find yourself doing over and
over again. And then, once it's set, you
don't have to think about it again. Now,
before we get to tip number 10, I'm
going to be very honest with you. If
you're someone who's got all the time in
the world to waste, well, then this tip
isn't for you. You can skip to the next
one. But, if you're someone who never
has enough time in the day or you're
like me and you need to learn something,
[music]
but you're too impatient {slash} maybe
sometimes lazy to dig through 50
different articles or documentaries
before getting an answer, well, then
congratulations, this one is for you.
It's called deep research mode. And the
name kind of says it all. You're going
to give it a proper research question,
not some throwaway one-liner. A question
that you need a real detailed answer to.
Then, it goes to work. It searches, it
reads, it cross-references different
sources, and a few minutes later, it
comes back with a structured report.
Now, I actually use this a lot, by the
way, and it's actually part of the
reason that this very video exists. You
see, every few weeks, I like to
understand what is actually working on
this channel. What is it that you guys
are enjoying, and what are you guys
enjoying on other channels? What kind of
content that I'm putting out do you
like, and what do you find useful to
you? AI content seems to be resonating
right now, but I'm also looking for what
other creators are covering that [music]
we haven't touched yet. As well as where
the gaps are. So, I gave Deep Research
that exact task. I told it to go look
into how AI content is performing across
YouTube right now, what themes keep
coming up, what audiences are asking
for, and what's not being covered well.
[music] And then, a few minutes later,
it came back with a full breakdown. And
that's actually part of what shaped this
video. I also gave it some data on my
channel, and I saw that the feedback on
the Claude video a few weeks [music] ago
was insane. Now, look, I'll be honest,
could I have done that manually?
Absolutely, but that would have taken
hours of [music] me scrolling through
channels, comments, trying to spot
stuff. Whereas, with this mode, it did
all of that for me in a few minutes. So,
is this something that you absolutely
100% need? Not really. But, is this
something that will 10x your [music]
efficiency, especially if a lot of your
decisions rely on you doing research?
100%. So, to use it, it's actually quite
simple. All you have to do is click the
plus button next to where you normally
[music] type your message. You're going
to select Deep Research and give it a
specific question. The more specific the
question, the better. Remember, this is
not for quick questions. Save this one
for the stuff where you would have to do
a lot of research. There we have it, the
six ChatGPT modes. Now,
>> [music]
>> there's one final mode I haven't spoken
about yet, and there's a reason for it.
You see, the intermediate modes that
we've covered so far are quite
straightforward. This last one is a
little bit more advanced, so please
don't worry about this if you're just
getting started. Focus on the beginner
and intermediate ones at first. They
should give you a massive advantage over
95% of people. Now, before we get into
it, one last thing. Everything that
we've covered today is going to save you
a load of time. Excuse my French. But,
if you're the type of person who wants
to use that time to build something on
the side, build a side income, build
something profitable, something that
doesn't require you to quit your job or
go all in and sacrifice everything.
Well, then I want to invite you to my
online event, Side Hustle Summit. It's
100% free. I'm hosting it from September
6th to September 13th, and I'm going to
show you the exact steps [music]
to build a profitable side hustle. I'm
going to leave a link to that in the
description. All right, back to the
tips. If you're a bit more familiar with
ChatGPT, I actually want to take things
up to the next level. Here's how. You
see this last mode is the closest thing
to having ChatGPT as your personal
assistant. This is where you give
ChatGPT full autonomy of your screen, so
that way it can actually go ahead and do
things for you. I want you to think
about that one annoying task that is a
pain in the ass every single day. It's
not the hardest task, but it's
repetitive. It's filling out the same
repetitive form for the 10th time this
month. It's comparing flight prices
between different sites to check which
one is ripping you off the least. Those
are all things that agent mode can do
for you. All you have to do is give it
some instructions, like find me the
three best reviewed hotels in Lisbon
under $200 a night with a pool. And
there we go. It goes off, it opens a
browser, and navigates through different
websites, and it comes back with the
best options for you. Now, do you
remember that tip where I showed you how
to connect different apps within your
ChatGPT, and how it's kind of like
you're having your own app store within
chat? Well, once you have those apps
connected, things like your Gmail and
your calendar, you can actually use
agent mode to then do stuff for you
within those [music] places. As in just
you understand, it can literally do
things inside of the apps that you've
connected. And sure, the average person
might know that they can actually ask
ChatGPT to go find some good hotels in
Greece, but I want you to take it a step
further. With this mode, you're going to
go from, "Hey, go find me some good
hotels." to, "Go find me some hotels,
then check my calendar to check when I'm
actually free, and then book it in for
me, and draft me an email to confirm
this. All of that in one go because
everything's connected. Do you see how
when you do this over a long period of
time, you are going to end up running
laps around everyone else simply because
you're going to be 10 times more
efficient than them. Now, here's the
important thing though. With this mode,
I want you to still be the one in
control. ChatGPT is not going to go and
book something or buy something or
submit a form without checking in with
you first. You will always have the
final approval. Anytime it's going to do
something that commits you, for example,
like spending money or sending something
or confirming a booking, it will ask you
first. You're going to then sign off on
it. All it is doing is just the boring
legwork on your behalf. I hope you
understand how this also gives you more
time to make a better decisions because
you don't need to do the repetitive
work. So, to activate agent mode, here's
what you do. And then all you have to do
is literally just tell it what you want
it to do, and it will take it from
there. A real quick, just one practical
tip though. Before you run any task, I
want you to make sure that you close out
any tabs with sensitive info. I'm
talking about banking, personal
accounts, anything that you just
wouldn't want it near, just in case. I
would also recommend that you actually
start with something that's low stakes.
So, that way you can kind of get a feel
for how it works. There you have it. My
top tips for learning 98% of ChatGPT in
under 30 minutes. Just by knowing what I
gave you today, you are already ahead of
95% of people. Look, ChatGPT is a great
all-round tool. It can write, it can
plan, it can organize, it can even take
actions for you. It is useful, no doubt.
It's the same thing I saw with Claude.
Every tool has their strengths and
limits. For example, Claude wasn't
really good at image generation, and
ChatGPT hallucinates. It's just what
happens when something is built to do
100 things well instead of one thing
exceptionally well. It's kind of like
hiring. A generalist employee [music] is
useful. Okay, you can hand them many
different tasks, and they will get most
of them done to a pretty decent level,
but they're never going to be
spectacular. For that, you would need to
go find a specialist. Or think of a
doctor, if you needed to get brain
surgery done, would you want a general
practitioner to handle it? Or would you
want a brain surgeon? Well, the exact
same thing applies to AI tools. The
point is, it's not about which tool is
the best. It's about which one is the
best for what you are trying to do. And
the more specific the task or outcome
gets, the more nuance there is, which is
typically [music]
what tools like ChatGPT struggle with.
Think about specific tasks like make
$10,000 a month online, or how to solve
this one specific problem for a specific
person or business. Try using ChatGPT
for that, and let me know how it goes.
Let's say when it comes to something
ultra specific like making $10,000 a
month with a marketing agency, for
example. There are direct ways to make
money, and there are indirect ways. A
direct way would be something that
identifies specific businesses that need
help with their marketing, and helps you
build the solution for them. [music] An
indirect way would be using tools like
ChatGPT to save you time, so that way
you can spend more time on figuring out
how to make money elsewhere. Do you see
[music] the difference? Don't get me
wrong, ChatGPT is an incredibly valuable
tool. But as I said, it's not going to
make you a millionaire. For specific
outcomes, you need specialized tools
that are built for that specific thing.
But look, to be honest, that is a topic
for another day. If you want to be the
winner of the MacBook, once again, leave
a like and drop a comment of your
favorite tip. And with all that being
said, as always, I'm watching from afar,
>> [music]
>> and I'm rooting for you.
