Most people are using chat GPT like it's
just a smarter Google search bar, but
the top 1% is using it in ways that feel
almost unfair. And the difference isn't
that they're smarter, it's that they
know exactly which features to use and
how to stack them together. And in this
video, I'm going to show you the exact
methods they're using, starting with the
ones that'll give you the biggest
advantage right now. The first thing I
do is build what I call a context vault.
[music] This is where you stop treating
every conversation like it's starting
from zero. Think about it. Every time
you open a new chat, you're basically
introducing yourself all over again.
That's a huge waste of time and energy.
Open Chat GPT and head to the settings
menu in the bottom left corner. Click on
personalization, then click on memory.
This is where ChatGpt stores information
about you across all your conversations.
Most people let this happen passively.
[music] They'll mention something once
and maybe ChatGpt remembers it, maybe it
doesn't. However, I actively feed it the
right information up front. Start a
[music] new chat and tell ChatGpt
everything it needs to know about you.
Your role, your goals, your preferences,
even your communication style. For
example, you might say, "I'm a content
creator focused on productivity. I
prefer concise answers with actionable
steps. [music] I'm currently working on
growing my YouTube channel and building
an email list. I don't like overly
formal language, and I want responses
that get straight to the point." Once
you do this, Chat GPT remembers it.
Every future conversation is now
tailored to you without you having to
repeat yourself. It's like having an
assistant who actually knows you,
[music] your preferences, everything.
But you can also use projects to create
separate context vaults for different
areas of your life. This is really
powerful because you don't want your
business stuff mixing with your personal
planning or your creative projects. To
do this, click on the sidebar menu and
then click on projects. Hit the plus
icon to create a new project. Let's say
you're planning a trip to Japan. Name
the project Japan trip 2026. Inside this
project, you can upload files like
flight confirmations, hotel bookings, or
research articles about places you want
to visit. You can paste in notes about
restaurants people [music] recommended
or specific neighborhoods you want to
explore. Add custom instructions
specific to this project, like always
suggest options that are budget
friendly, or prioritize authentic local
experiences over tourist traps. Now,
every chat inside this project has full
context about your trip without messing
up your main chat GPT memory. You can
ask it to plan your daily itinerary,
suggest the best transportation routes,
or even help you learn basic Japanese
phrases for your trip. The result is
that you're not wasting time
reexplaining things. Chat GPT is working
with you, not starting from scratch
every single time. I use separate
projects for my YouTube channel, my
business planning, my fitness goals, and
even home renovation ideas. It keeps
everything organized and makes Chat GPT
way more useful. Something most people
miss is that ChatGpt can now search the
web and compile research for you in a
way that saves hours of manual work. I
used to spend entire afternoons just
researching tools or comparing options.
Now, I let ChatGpt do the heavy lifting.
Let's say you're researching the best AI
video generators for a project. Start a
new chat and type something like,
"Research the top AI video generators
available." right now. Compare their
features, pricing, and best use cases.
Focus on tools that are actually being
used by professionals, not just hyped up
on social media. [music] Then click on
the model selector at the top and make
sure you're using the GPT5 model with
web browsing enabled. This tells Chad
GPT to pull real-time information from
the web instead of just relying on its
training data. After it gives you the
initial research, you can push it
further. This is where most people stop,
but you shouldn't. Ask which of these
tools would work best for someone
creating YouTube content on a budget
under $200 per month. Or ask what are
the main complaints users have about
each [music] tool. It'll refine the
research based on your specific
situation. You're not just getting
generic information, but you're getting
relevant insights that actually apply to
your needs. And if you want to save this
research, you can ask ChatGpt to format
it as a PDF or a structured document you
can reference later. I do this all the
time. I'll have it create comparison
tables, pros and cons lists, or even
action plans based on the research. Then
I save those documents in my project
folders so I can come back to them
whenever I need to make a decision. One
very important trick I want to show you
is that I don't just throw random
prompts at chat GPT. I build prompt
templates that work every single time.
This is one of those things that seems
small but makes a massive difference
over time. Let's say you frequently need
to write emails. Maybe you're reaching
out to potential collaborators,
responding to client inquiries, or
following up on projects. [music]
Instead of rewriting your instructions
every time, you create a master prompt
template. Open a new chat and type,
"Help me create a reusable prompt
template for writing professional
emails." Ask me questions about the type
of emails I send, my tone preferences,
and any specific elements I want
included. Chat GPT will interview you.
It'll ask things like, "How should the
email feel most of the time? Do you
usually want the prompt to always
enforce some points? Answer these
questions honestly based on how you
actually communicate." Then it'll build
a custom prompt you can save and reuse.
For example, your final template might
look like, "Write a short, high-quality,
professional email based on the
information I provide." The email may be
outreach, follow-up, sales, support, or
pricing related. Use a direct,
confident, casual, professional tone.
Avoid corporate buzzwords, fluff, and
filler language. Keep it modern, clear,
and human. Include a clear subject line.
Open strong without using phrases
[music] like, "Hope you're well." Use
short paragraphs, one to two lines max.
And with a direct, clear CTA. Do not
include a signature. Now, save this
template in a note or document. I keep
mine in a simple text file on my
desktop. [music] Now, every time you
need an email, you just fill in the
details and paste it into chat GPT. That
way, you get instant consistent results.
You can do this for anything. Social
media posts, video scripts, meeting
summaries, product descriptions,
whatever you do repeatedly. I have
templates for YouTube video outlines,
Instagram captions, client proposals,
[music] even weekly planning sessions.
It sounds like a lot of upfront work,
but once you build these templates, you
save so much time in the long run. Now,
let's talk about custom GPTs. If you
don't know, custom GPTs let you create
specialized versions of chat GPT that
are trained for specific tasks. This is
one of the most underrated features, and
most people have no idea it exists. Go
to the chat GPT homepage and click on
explore GPTs in the sidebar. You'll see
a library of custom GPTs built by other
users. There are GPTs for writing,
productivity, research, and analysis,
even lifestyle. Some are really good,
some are pretty basic. You can find one
that suits you best, but I'll show you
how to build your own in case you want
them tailored exactly to what you need.
Click create a GPT in the top right
corner. Chat GPT will guide you through
the process by asking questions about
what you want this GPT to do. Let's say
you want a GPT that helps you write
YouTube video scripts in your specific
style. You'd say, "This GPT helps me
write YouTube scripts. It should use a
conversational tone, include strong
hooks in the first 30 seconds, and
structure videos for high retention. It
should avoid corporate jargon, and keep
sentences short and punchy. Then you can
upload examples of your past script so
it learns your style. This is really
important. If you just give it general
instructions, it'll sound generic. But
if you upload three or four of your best
scripts, that's even better because it
starts to pick up on your patterns, your
word choices, even your sense of humor.
You can even give it access to specific
knowledge files or websites. For
example, if you have a style guide or a
list of topics you cover, you can
include those, too. Once it's [music]
built, this custom GPT becomes your
go-to tool for that specific task. And
because it's trained on your examples
and instructions, [music] the output is
way more accurate than using regular
chat GPT. You can also custom GPTS for
video scripting, email writing, social
media content, even brainstorming
session facilitation. Each one is tuned
to do one thing really well, and it
saves me so much time. Another feature
is that chat GPT can basically see now,
and most people are barely scratching
the surface of what that means. Most of
you already know that you can upload
your own images and ask it to alter them
or analyze them in some sort of way. But
this isn't just about uploading a photo
and asking what's in it. Click the
paperclip icon in the chat box and
upload an image. Let's say you upload a
screenshot of a website layout. Instead
of just asking what this is, you can ask
strategic questions. Analyze this
website layout. What design principles
is it using? How could I apply these
principles to my own site? What's
working well and what could be improved?
Or upload a photo of your workspace and
ask, "How could I reorganize this space
to be more productive? Give me specific
suggestions based on what you see."
ChatGPT will analyze the lighting, the
desk setup, where your monitor is
positioned, everything. I've even seen
people upload photos of their meals and
ask ChatGpt to estimate the calorie
count and suggest healthier alternatives
or upload a photo of their closet and
ask for outfit suggestions. The key is
being specific with your questions.
[music] The more context you give about
what you're trying to achieve, the
better the analysis. Its image
recognition technology has gotten way
better than you're probably used to with
the newest model, and yet most people
haven't realized it. Another extremely
useful hack is batch processing. This is
a simple shift in how you use chat GPT,
but it makes you so much faster. Let's
say you need to write 10 different
social media posts. Most people would
ask ChatGpt to write one, review it,
then ask for another, review that, and
so on. That's slow. Instead of asking
ChatGpt to write them one by one, you
give it all 10 topics at once. Type I
need 10 social media posts on the
following topics and list them all.
Topic one, how to use chat GPT for
research. Topic two, the best AI tools
for video editing. Topic three,
productivity tips for content creators,
and so on. Then add for each post, use a
conversational tone. Include a hook in
the first sentence and keep it under 280
characters. Make each one feel unique,
like a template. Chat GPT will generate
all 10 in one go. You can review them,
pick the best ones, and ask for
variations on specific ones. If post
number three feels weak, you can say,
"Rewrite post three with a stronger hook
and a more specific example. No need to
start from scratch. This works for
anything repetitive. Batching saves you
from that back and forth process that
kills productivity and leads to
burnout." [music] One more piece of
advice is that the first output is never
the final output. This is a mindset that
took me a while to learn. When ChatGpt
gives you something, don't just accept
it and move on. Push it further. Most
people treat ChatGpt like a vending
machine. You put in a prompt, you get an
output, done. But the best results come
from iteration. Let's say you asked for
a video script and it gave you something
decent but not quite right. The
structure is there, but the hook feels
weak and the middle section drags a bit.
Instead of starting over from scratch,
you say, "This is good, but the hook
feels weak." Rewrite just the first 30
seconds to be more attention-grabbing.
Use a question or a bold statement to
pull people in immediately. Chat GPT
rewrites just that section. You review
it and say, "Better. Now make the middle
section more concise. Cut any fluff and
get to the point faster. I want this to
feel tight and engaging, not like I'm
rambling. It tightens up the middle."
Then you say, "Perfect. Now add a
stronger call to action at the end. Make
it clear what the viewer should do next.
Whether that's watching another video,
subscribing, or trying a tool I
mentioned." As you can see, instead of
just taking what it originally gave you
and adjusting it yourself, you're
sculpting the output through multiple
rounds of prompting. Each iteration gets
you closer to exactly what you need. You
should treat Chat GPT like a
collaborator, not a oneanddone tool. You
can also use Chat GPT to extract and
organize knowledge from any source. This
is one of my favorite uses because it
turns passive consumption into active
learning. Let's say you just watched a
2-hour podcast and want to remember the
key insights. You enjoyed it, but you
know in a week you'll forget most of
what was said. Upload the transcript or
paste the URL if it's available. Then
ask, extract the 10 most important
insights from this podcast. For each
insight, give me a one-s sentence
summary and a practical way I can apply
it this week. Now you have a condensed,
actionable version of that content.
You're not just consuming information.
You're processing it and turning it into
something you can actually use. You can
do this with books, courses, articles,
YouTube videos, anything. I also use
chat GPT to practice hard situations
before they actually happen. I really
wish I'd started doing this sooner
because it builds a lot of confidence.
[music] For example, maybe you have a
tough conversation coming up with a
client. They might be unhappy with your
work. You might need to raise your
prices or you need to set boundaries
because the project scope keeps growing.
These conversations are stressful and
most people put them off until the last
minute. You can use chat GPT to roleplay
the situation. You might type something
like, "I need to have a difficult
conversation with a client about a
project delay. The project is 2 weeks
late because of unexpected technical
[music] issues." Roleplay as the client.
Be skeptical and ask tough questions.
Then you practice responding. Chat GPT
will push back and ask hard questions
just like a real client would. It might
say something like, "Two weeks is
unacceptable. This affects our launch.
Why didn't you tell us sooner? You
respond in real time the same way you
would in the actual conversation. You
can repeat the roleplay as many times as
you want until you feel comfortable. It
can even give you feedback on what to
say and not say, what works and what
doesn't, stuff like that. Another
extremely useful feature is that you can
use chat GPT to design systems and
workflows for your life or business.
This is where it becomes a strategic
tool, not just a task tool. Let's say
you want to automate your content
creation process. Right now, it feels
chaotic. You're jumping between ideas.
Sometimes you film without a script.
Editing takes forever and you're not
consistent with posting. You know
there's a better way, but you don't know
what it looks like. Ask ChatGpt, "Help
me design a content creation system. I
want to go from idea to published video
in the most efficient way possible. Ask
me questions about my current process,
then suggest improvements. Be specific
about tools, workflows, and time
management." It'll interview you. It'll
ask where do ideas currently come from?
How long does scripting take? What's
your editing tool? answer honestly and
it'll identify everything that's
blocking you and suggest specific tools
and workflows. I've been using these
strategies for months now and the
difference is massive. Tasks that used
to take me hours now take minutes. I'm
making better decisions because I have a
thinking partner available anytime and
I'm learning faster because I can
extract and organize knowledge from any
source instantly. The key is
understanding that chat GPT isn't just a
question and answer tool. It's a system
that almost feels alive. And when you
use it like the top 1% do, stacking
these strategies together, building
templates, creating custom GPTs, using
projects to stay organized, it genuinely
feels like you've unlocked a cheat code.
So now you know how the [music] smartest
1% are actually using chat GPT. These
aren't just tips. They're complete
workflows that compound over time and
complement each other perfectly. The
more you use them, the more efficient
you become, and the more you'll wonder
how you ever got by without them. Thanks
for watching and I'll see you in the
next one.
