Power Up Your Business: 10 ChatGPT Hacks (Part 1)

ChatGPT's meteoric rise in popularity speaks volumes about its utility across diverse content creation domains. While many have tapped into its capabilities, the realm of ChatGPT hacks continues to evolve with endless possibilities.

Our curated guide delves deep into the world of ChatGPT hacks, unveiling ten game-changing strategies meticulously crafted to amplify your business operations.

These hacks are designed to empower you with fresh strategies and insights, enabling you to harness the full potential of ChatGPT for your business needs.

1. Custom Instructions?

You get much better answers from ChatGPT when you set the stage for your question by giving it a little context, but having to say I am a business owner, this is what my company does every single time is time consuming.

This is where Custom Instructions can help make things easier. Custom Instructions is a feature available in all plans that can make your interactions with ChatGPT smoother.

Users can integrate their specific preferences or specifications into ChatGPT with this feature.

Once you set these preferences, ChatGPT will consider them in every response generation, saving you the trouble of repeating the information or command in each interaction.

Here’s how you do it:

Click on your profile and above ‘Settings’ you will see ‘Customise ChatGPT’ – Click on that.

Then fill out the first box ‘Custom Instructions’. This is all about taking the opportunity to tell ChatGPT all about your business, your target audience, and your product offering.

Really any information that you think? ChatGPT needs to know to provide the best response.

Next,?the second box is setting the stage on how you want ChatGPT to act.

For example, you can instruct it to respond as a business consultant and even specify how to format its responses, such as using bold text for different topics. Simply click on Enable and then save your preferences.

With this feature, you don’t have to set up the context whenever you ask a question. Instead, you can directly ask your query, and the ChatGPT will provide a personalised response tailored to your business needs.

2. Use a Prompt Library??

The better your prompts, the better the response. However, creating a prompt is a science that can get pretty complex, and not all of us have the time to become skilled at it.

This is where AI for Work comes in; it’s a ChatGPT prompt library for businesses. Whether you need help in sales, legal and marketing problems, this website will have you covered.

Let’s take a look at how to use it: First, open aiforwork.co on your browser.

Then, select a department which you need guidance with.

For this example, ‘Entrepreneur’ was selected. From here, select the role you want. Let’s take a look at Founder.

Under each role, you’ll see options for prompts. Select the prompt you need help with and the site will provide you with a list to choose from.

e.g. if you select Founder as your role, and choose to create a company vision statement, you’ll see a bunch of prompts to help direct ChatGPT to do just that.

You need to log in to see the in-depth prompt options, but it’s free, so no worries. Ai can help you create an investor presentation, an annual report or a partnership agreement. All of these are super useful for business owners.?

When you find the prompt you desire, just copy it and paste it into the ChatGPT. After that, follow the steps on the ChatGPT to generate the perfect response.

Additionally, Open AI provides a prompt engineering guide on its website that is regularly updated to keep up with changes in the AI industry.

3. Communicating in a second language

If you need to communicate in a second language, ChatGPT can be extremely helpful. It can assist you in understanding colloquial language, slang, local phrases, uncommon definitions, acronyms, conjugations and other nuances.

This is particularly useful because sometimes Google Translate may not pick up on these nuances.

Instead of spending time searching the internet for the meaning of a phrase, ChatGPT can analyse the context and provide you with accurate meaning.

4. Summarise long-form content

Do you often struggle to keep up with important and lengthy reports, documents, and articles? If so, ChatGPT can help you become more productive in less time by providing you with summarised versions of any text.?

To summarise lengthy articles or videos, you can easily copy and paste the text or link into the chat, type TL;DR, and request a summary of your desired length.

Example: I asked Chatgpt to summarise a 5 minute video into two sentences.?

ChatGPT will then provide a summary of the article or video covering the essential points, enabling you to comprehend the content quickly and efficiently.? Tip: if you want to summarise a video, add the title also for better results.

With this hack, you can read more quickly, stay on top of your reading list, and increase productivity.

5. Reverse prompts

The hack I’m about to share involves a reverse approach. Here’s how it works. Imagine you’re preparing a work presentation.

Rather than asking ChatGPT to generate a fact for you, if you already have an idea in mind, ask ChatGPT to provide evidence to support it.

This is a great way to add credibility to your work and support the original points you want to get across.

The fact is, ChatGPT knows a lot of stuff, but it’s not perfect, and sometimes it is wrong. So having the facts yourself first and leveraging ChatGPT for supportive evidence will help ensure that your information is accurate.
