[00:00] These are 23 ways to use AI that you've probably never heard of because most people are only using a fraction of AI's full potential. I've been in the AI trenches for the past 3 years running multiple AI companies and I can tell you

[00:13] most people are only scratching the surface of what's possible. And in this video, I'll show you 23 new ways that you can use AI to turn on easy mode in all aspects of your life. Number one, master prompts for your whole life.

[00:26] Essentially, we want to build a single life prompt, a collection of all your values, your goals, your weaknesses, your principles, your life, every detail. That way, every time you ask AI a question, it answers it through your

[00:40] lens. So, here's how it works. You actually say to Chad GBT, "Help me create a master prompt for my life and ask me the questions to give you the context about my life." And it'll ask you the questions. You answer it and

[00:53] save it as a PDF. Now, anytime you ask AI or any other AI, upload the PDF prompt. Number two, hidden truth mirror. AI's number one opportunity for most

[01:06] people is to use it to uncover blind spots and traits that you don't even realize about yourself. Here's how we do this. I want you to open up your AI of choice. I like Chad GBT. Feed it your journals. Feed it your blog post. Feed

[01:20] but ask it. Tell me something unique about me that I don't see yet. The truth is, if you've been using Tragic BT or other a lot, it'll already know this

[01:33] stuff. Number three, write books that don't even exist yet. There's definitely people you admire that have talked about a topic that have never written a book on that topic. For example, Sarah Blakeley on parenting or Mr. beast on

[01:47] how to scale a media company. So what you do is you prompt a Chad GBT to train itself on interviews, podcasts, any content they've ever written. Then prompt it to create a book using best practices about book outlines to write

[02:00] the chapters, the frameworks, and the checklist. Pull out all the quotes. Don't hallucinate. And it will create that book for you. If you actually want the prompt that I wrote to generate books on any topic from any person I

[02:13] follow, click the link below and download it for yourself. Number four, decision-making journal. Essentially, you use AI to track the choices and review them later to improve your decision-m based on the results they got

[02:25] you. Here's how you do it. Log all your major decisions into Chad GPT with an expected outcome, whether personal or in your work and ask it to challenge you on your thinking. See, most AIs are designed to be very agreeable and unless

[02:39] you tell it to actually challenge you, it won't. So, make sure that you include that in your prompt. Number five, the AI camcorder method. You can take a messy recording of you doing something that you want to create a repeatable

[02:53] checklist from or standard operating procedure or a playbook and you can get AI to do that for you. All you have to do is paste the raw notes or transcript from any video of you doing something and ask GPT for a one-page checklist

[03:06] with all the pitfalls in the reminders for whatever you gave it. It will create a better system documentation for repeating a task or a project in your life that you can give to somebody else to do for you. Number six, break down

[03:19] goals to actions. Most people have a vision for their life, but they don't have a plan because they've never done it before. You can use AI to actually help you build a plan. Here's how we do it. Tell Chad GBT what your goal is and

[03:31] ask it to design a 30, 60, 90day road map with action items and it'll build that for you. Number seven, visualize your dreams. Instead of spending all your time finding images to download and spend hours in Photoshop, you can have

[03:46] AI create a vision board that has everything that you want to vision for your life front and center in that image. So, here's how we do it. We take our goals from the last step and ask AI to generate images of what your life

[04:00] would look like once you achieve them and then look at it every day. Be in the energy of achievement. Number eight, automate savings and investment plan. isn't there and you get AI to give you the plan. So, ask Chad GBT to draft a

[04:19] pay yourself first schedule and bank rolls for emergency fund, debt, investments for your specific situation. Most people hire these wealth folks that that with more clarity, specificity, specific for your situation. Number

[04:34] nine, tax deduction finder. Right off the bat, talk to a professional. But having AI catch write offs, opportunities for credit, and grants Upload all your expenses. Ask Chad GBT based on your situation. Flag likely

[04:54] deductions and build a monthly tracking checklist. And also ask it, "What are the grants that might be available that I might qualify for?" Number 10, personal board of adviserss. One of the most powerful strategies to progress

[05:06] your life is the concept of a mastermind or a board of mentors. The problem is a lot of these people aren't available. AI can help you build that without them being in your life even if they're not alive. The first part is you can

[05:18] actually ask Chad GPT to tell you who's achieved the goals that you want to achieve. So they help you build that list. Then you can tell it to act like them in a custom GPT to answer any question you might have about sequencing

[05:30] or decisions or structure based on the AI's best guess for how those people would have made those decisions in their life. Number 11, future selflet letters that rewire you. Essentially, you stay motivated by receiving letters from your

[05:45] your fears. Then ask it to draft letters delivered to you in 30, 90, or 365 days. letters that's going to anticipate how you might be feeling based on where

[06:02] you're at in your life around your goals, and it's going to just keep you motivated. Number 12, contextaware memory vault. Essentially, you want to let AI become your second brain. To do that, we want to create project folders

[06:16] and dump everything into it. You could have a folder where you upload everything, your bank accounts, your current investments. You can even want to live your life. You know, Die with Zero is a great book. And then ask

[06:31] it to help you make decisions based on the context of your life. That way, it acts as a second brain and it can recall relevant insights that it made based on the information about your current life. You give it the new information. And

[06:46] differently?" And it'll give you an answer. I use project folders for everything. My investments in my life, the individual companies that I run. I was buying a new piece of real estate in Cabo. I had that as a project folder. It

[07:02] is the coolest thing to have my second brain be in AI. Number 13, just in time learning paths. The ability to learn is a master skill. Too many people get busy have Chad GPT teach you how to use AI. You can ask it to map out 20% of the

[07:23] lessons to learn how to use AI that matters most and skip all the fluff. That way, it's just a punchy learning path that's just in time based on what you're dealing with right now. Number 14, meeting assistant. I wrote a book

[07:35] really excited. But what I do is I use AI to turn all my meetings into assets, not just a huge time sync. So for example, you want to give the call

[07:47] recordings that you have, ideally you're doing them over Zoom, to AI and then have it pull all the notes and tell you what do you need to do based on that conversation. This might sound crazy, but I have a guy on my team optin who

[08:00] wears a AI pin. It's a necklace that's always on. It's by Limitless. And essentially that necklace is doing this in real time for him all the time. He's him what he needs to add to his to-do list. All real time, always on. A little

[08:16] calls and transcribe them through AI. Number 15, risk assessment. Essentially, you want to have AI assess the risk of your business or life decisions. I do

[08:29] this all the time. I like to use the voice app and I'll go on a walk and I will talk through my earbuds to AI about my life. I will give it all the context and the situation. The other day I had a major business restructuring decision

[08:43] and I gave it all the people, the business size, the team members and it gave me back the decision that I was scared to make. I said chat GPT sell me on it and it said boom boom boom here are the pros and cons. That was the

[08:58] decision and the whole point is to use it to help you mitigate the risk. So then after it gives you ideas, then you can ask it. Tell me all the risk in that decision so I can understand what decision I'm actually making. Number 16,

[09:10] message sharpener. I have two people in my life. I have one person who doesn't like to talk. I have another person who talks too much. I taught them how to create custom GPTs that they can talk to for it to either add stuff to the person

[09:24] incredibly verbose. Here's how you set it up. You open up GPT and you hit the >> Hey there. Yep, I'm here and ready to chat. Let me know what you need.

[09:40] very direct and angry thing, and then take exactly what I said, but resay it in a way that's kinder, softer, and more still direct, but not as harsh. Can you

[09:54] and tell me what you want to say and I'll reshape it into something a bit goals yet? >> Got it. So, let's soften that up a bit.

[10:08] You could say something like, "Hey, I noticed I haven't received the 2026 direct, but definitely a bit kinder. >> Let's go. I love it. Thank you. It may

[10:20] sound funny, but I know a lot of people that should be using that. Number 17, Travel Architect. Using AI to help you plan a trip is a master tool and you not feeling overwhelmed or confused. What you can do is give it the date, your

[10:37] budget, your preferences, and then ask it for a five-stop plan with hidden gems and must sees. We're currently on a 9-month world schooling trip, going to like 15 countries and 40 plus cities, and we've been using AI to help us

[10:54] design, follow weather, find games to go to, ensure the kids are always busy. All designed with AI. There is zero chance that we could have got to the level of trip planning without AI for our world schooling adventures. And if you use

[11:07] agent mode, all you have to do is give it your card. Number 18, an emotional debrief partner. Using AI to turn bad days or bad moments into lessons is one

[11:19] of the number one use cases for AI. Getting clarity around a situation, it's so powerful. The easiest way to do that is go into voice mode and just vent and give it everything. Here's the situation. Here's what they said. Here's

[11:34] how I felt. And then you can ask Chad GBT to say sort through the noise in the signal and give me one lesson, one silver lining that I might be able to take on to shift my perspective. And it will give you that micro shift. Here's

[11:48] why that's powerful. If you stay in your head, you're in trouble. If you get things out to talk with somebody, it helps. And look, it doesn't replace a therapist, but it also is something that's available to you right now in the

[12:02] moment. Don't need to schedule. It doesn't cost anything. It honestly has access to all the best therapy strategies to at least give you some your head. Number 19, content creator. This is not what you think. I actually

[12:19] use it to turn memories into content ideas so that I can share those with the world. The way you do this is you ask Chia GBT to ask you all the meaningful stories, moments, transformations you've ever had in your life and then you just

[12:32] answer it and then say, "Please reformat these into a PSL framework, essentially a point story lesson." What it does is it takes all the stories that you've moment and then it rewrites it in a structure that you can then create

[12:49] content with that actually hits hard. Number 20, the contract translator. One of the ultimate use cases for AI is legal. Simplifying confusing contracts and financial docs is a must, but there's a way to do it that most people

[13:04] don't think about. What I do is I have my assistant before she talks to my lawyer upload every contract that comes into my life up to Chad GPT and then I ask it to rewrite the contract in plain English highlighting any of the riskiest

[13:20] questions I should be asking about that contract. I can take my assistant who has no legal background and turn her into a parallegal next level ninja to

[13:33] prep all the contracts where I just have all my email drafts having the answers to those questions. Number 21, the contract creator. This one's powerful cuz it will save you hundreds of dollars in legal fees instead of hiring a

[13:46] lawyer. It may sound simple, but let me give you the specific prompts. Essentially, you want to explain your situation in plain English, but also the situation, and then ask it to ask you any other questions it would need to

[14:02] draft a worldclass professional contract as a legal expert. Once it asks you that most lawyers do not know how to do. And again, you can also use it to

[14:15] evaluate pros and cons to see if it's too one-sided for you, because it probably will be, so that you can find something that's more fair. Number 22, tough conversation roleplay. Essentially, using AI to have a sparring

[14:28] having, but you might be avoiding. This could be maybe a parent you need to talk to. This could be your partner where you might have to have a really important

[14:40] feedback to. It might even be going to the bank and asking for a loan and you're really scared to do that, right? So, what I like to do is ask Chad GBT to act like a certain persona. Let's say your boss, your manager, your employee,

[14:55] and then have it roleplay as that person with you. Then you can walk through the situation where you're explaining your perspective and kind of what they made you feel and have it prompt back and forth to have that conversation before

[15:08] when it comes to actually having the conversation. Number 23, the eulogy writer. A eulogy is an incredible way to have alignment with your life and

[15:20] actually see how you might be remembered through other people's eyes. A while ago, when I was 23, my first business coach, his name was Bob, asked me to do something on our first call that had the biggest impact on my life more than

[15:34] anything else he taught me. And it was to sit down and write my eulogy. So, here's how you do it. Ask Chad GPT to draft your eulogy based on your might have gave it. Have it focus on what would my family members say, what

[15:48] would my friends say, people I've worked with, and people in my community. And having those four areas, that's what Bob did for me, allowed me to write and refine how I wanted those people to talk about who I was. And that gave me

[16:01] clarity for how I was building my life. Now, if you want my internal system prompts for how I talk to AI in the code, just click the link below in the all I want you to do is pick one. Pick one that you think, if I started doing

[16:19] that in my life, I think that'd be pretty great. Pick that one, leave a learn the three things that will make you future proof in the AI era, click here and I'll see you on the other
