Whether you think it should be allowed to exist in the world or not, there's no denying how helpful AI can be in lightening your workload.
Here are three ways I use it almost every day:
✍️ Light Copyediting
What it does: I write for many clients, and they each have their distinct voice or words they like to use. When I don't want AI to rewrite my stuff completely, I use the "Light Copyeditor" prompt to clean it up. Works awesome.
Prompt for ChatGPT: Act as an experienced copyeditor. Please edit this article/copy lightly, just focusing on grammar, clarity, and punctuation. I want to maintain the tone of voice and character.
🔑 Provide key takeaways from a long-form video or article
What it does: I don't always have time to watch a long video or read a full article. When I want to consume information or get key information, I'll drop the transcripts (or copy from the article) into ChatGPT and have it provide me with key takeaways. If I want it to look closer at a specific area or provide more information from a video, I'll re-prompt it to focus on that part.
Prompt for ChatGPT: Act as a writer with 10 years of experience. Please take this YouTube transcript (or article) and provide me with helpful key takeaways or learnings.
Re-prompt (if nec.): Please dive deeper into the section about X.
👀 What am I missing?
What it does: Sometimes, I write an article, sales page, or script and think something might be missing, or I just want to know what else the reader/viewer might want to know about a specific subject.
Prompt: Act as a senior-level content strategist (or marketer). Please assess this copy and tell me what else I could add to make it more valuable to the reader.
Typically, it provides several more points I could make. I'll take some and leave others. For instance, if it gives me 7 points, but I like numbers 2, 4, and 6. I'll re-prompt it: "Please add sections based on numbers 2, 4, and 6. Be sure to put them in the spots that make the most sense within the flow of the article."
I hope these help you as much as they help me!
