A daily AI news brief can be useful, but only if it saves you from another inbox-shaped rabbit hole. Pick one topic your customers or audience actually care about. Then ask ChatGPT to find the latest credible news, articles and videos from the last 24 hours. Have it return the headline, date, source, direct link, a short summary, why it matters to your audience, and three possible content angles. Try this prompt: "Search the web for the most important new developments about [TOPIC] from the last 24 hours. Prioritise primary sources and credible reporting. Give me a table with the headline, publication date, source, direct link, two-sentence summary, why it matters to [AUDIENCE], and three useful video or post angles. Flag anything uncertain or based on secondary reporting. If nothing material has changed, say so. Do not invent sources." If you use ChatGPT's recurring task features, you could run that prompt as a daily brief. Otherwise, keep it as a quick morning routine in a normal chat. The important part is what happens next. Open the links, decide whether there is a real angle, then make one useful piece of content. You do not need to cover every update. You need to notice the few that are worth your audience's time. What topic would you most like a daily brief to keep an eye on?

ChatGPT can only work with the information you give it. ❌WEAK PROMPT: “Help me start a business.” You’ll probably get a broad, generic answer because ChatGPT doesn’t know your budget, location, business model, platform, or goal. ✅ BETTER PROMPT: “I’m starting a print-on-demand clothing business in Canada with a $300 startup budget. I want to sell primarily through TikTok. Give me a 30-day launch plan, prioritize free or low-cost tools, and separate MUST DO from NICE TO HAVE.” 🔥 THE FORMULA: GOAL + CONTEXT + CONSTRAINTS + DESIRED OUTPUT The more relevant information you give ChatGPT, the more useful and personalized the response can be. You don’t necessarily need a LONGER prompt. You need a CLEARER prompt. 🎯

AI imagery is one of my areas of focus, particularly creating consistent characters for AI-generated content and video. One of the first steps in my workflow is establishing the character. If that character is based on you, a clear reference photograph combined with a precise prompt is essential. When using your photograph as a reference, clearly identify what must remain unchanged. For example: “Use the uploaded photograph as the primary reference. Preserve my facial identity and overall likeness. Maintain my facial structure, skin tone, eyes, nose, lips, and other distinguishing facial features. Do not alter or reinterpret my facial features. Only modify the clothing, hairstyle, pose, environment, lighting, or other elements specifically requested.” Why is this important? AI image generation involves interpretation. If your instructions are too broad, the model may make creative decisions you did not intend — including changes to your appearance. This is particularly important when using instructions such as “beautify me,” “make me more attractive,” or “glamourize this image.” Those instructions are subjective. By giving the AI permission to determine what “more beautiful” means, you may also unintentionally give it greater freedom to modify facial characteristics. A more controlled instruction would be: “Enhance the professional lighting, makeup, skin finish, styling, and overall photographic quality while preserving my existing facial features and recognizable likeness.” BEGINNER PROMPTING FRAMEWORK: When creating an AI character from your photograph, define: 1. SUBJECT — Who or what is being created? 2. IDENTITY — Which characteristics must remain consistent? 3. CHANGES — What specifically should be modified? 4. STYLE — What visual aesthetic are you trying to achieve? 5. ENVIRONMENT — Where should the character be placed? 6. RESTRICTIONS — What should the AI NOT change? The more precise your instructions are, the less the AI has to interpret on your behalf.

I am new here. Thank you for welcoming me to this community. I wanted to share something that may help us get better and more useful responses from ChatGPT. First, an important clarification: ⚠️ These are NOT official ChatGPT commands, secret codes, or hidden modes. They are PROMPT SHORTCUTS — easy labels we can use to tell ChatGPT what type of reasoning, analysis, tone, or approach we want. For the best results, especially in a new conversation, don’t rely on the shortcut word alone. Type the shortcut AND tell ChatGPT what you want it to do. Here are some useful ones and how to use them correctly: 🔹 TRUTHMODE USE WHEN: You want honest feedback instead of reassurance or automatic agreement. PROMPT: “TRUTHMODE: Give me your honest assessment. Don’t agree with me just to be agreeable. Tell me what works, what doesn’t, and what I may be overlooking.” 🔹 ELI10 USE WHEN: Something is complicated and you want it explained in simple language. PROMPT: “ELI10: Explain this to me as if I were 10 years old. Keep the language simple, but don’t leave out information I actually need to understand it.” 🔹 REDTEAM USE WHEN: You have an idea, plan, business strategy, argument, or decision and want someone to challenge it BEFORE you act on it. PROMPT: “REDTEAM: Challenge this idea. Look for weaknesses, risks, blind spots, incorrect assumptions, counterarguments, and reasons this could fail.” 🔹 80/20 USE WHEN: You’re overwhelmed and need to know what actually deserves your attention first. PROMPT: “80/20: Apply the Pareto principle to this situation. Identify the few actions likely to produce the greatest results and tell me what I should prioritize first.” 🔹 FIRSTPRINCIPLES USE WHEN: You don’t want the standard answer and want the problem broken down logically from the beginning. PROMPT: “FIRSTPRINCIPLES: Break this problem down into its fundamental facts and assumptions. Separate what we know from what we’re assuming, then build the best solution from there.” 🔹 SOCRATES USE WHEN: You want ChatGPT to help you THINK through something instead of simply handing you an answer.

I'm sure many of you have already been experimenting with the new features of ChatGPT, Sol, Terra and Luna. I wanted to give you a quick rundown of the differences. I have attached a .pdf for a quick info/cheat sheet so you know which one to choose for what task.
