ADVICE

Talk To ChatGPT Like A Colleague

  • Talk with ChatGPT as you would a helpful colleague rather than treating it like a search engine.
  • Explain who you are and ask directly how it can help to unlock useful, conversational responses.
ADVICE

Start With One Repetitive Task

  • Pick one repetitive task you do and ask ChatGPT how it can reduce the time you spend on it.
  • Use a simple four-part framework: what you do, why you do it, what success looks like, and invite its questions.
