00:00:00.000 These are 23 ways to use AI that you've probably never heard of because most people are only using
00:00:05.380 a fraction of AI's full potential. I've been in the AI trenches for the past three years running
00:00:10.860 multiple AI companies and I can tell you most people are only scratching the surface of what's
00:00:15.920 possible. And in this video I'll show you 23 new ways that you can use AI to turn on easy mode in
00:00:22.260 all aspects of your life. Number one, master prompts for your whole life. Essentially we want
00:00:27.600 to build a single life prompt a collection of all your values your goals your weaknesses your
00:00:34.000 principles your life every detail that way every time you ask ai a question it answers it through
00:00:39.920 your lens so here's how it works you actually say to chadgbt help me create a master prompt for my
00:00:46.640 life and ask me the questions to give you the context about my life and it'll ask you the
00:00:51.680 questions. You answer it and save it as a PDF. Now, anytime you ask AI or any other AI, upload
00:00:57.500 the PDF before you ask your question. So it has all the context. That's your master problem.
00:01:02.020 Number two, hidden truth mirror. AI's number one opportunity for most people is to use it to
00:01:08.460 uncover blind spots and traits that you don't even realize about yourself. Here's how we do this. I
00:01:14.520 want you to open up your AI of choice. I like Chad GPT. Feed it your journals, feed it your blog
00:01:19.440 post, feed it your content, feed it all the information, any patterns for context, but ask it.
00:01:24.620 Tell me something unique about me that I don't see yet. The truth is if you've been using Chad
00:01:30.660 GPT or other a lot, it'll already know this stuff. Number three, write books that don't even exist
00:01:37.140 yet. There's definitely people you admire that have talked about a topic that have never written
00:01:42.540 a book on that topic. For example, Sarah Blakely on parenting or Mr. Beast on how to scale a media
00:01:48.360 company. So what you do is you prompt the ChatGPT to train itself on interviews, podcasts, any
00:01:54.720 content they've ever written, then prompt it to create a book using best practices about book
00:01:59.660 outlines to write the chapters, the frameworks, and the checklist, pull out all the quotes,
00:02:03.920 don't hallucinate, and it will create that book for you. If you actually want the prompt that I
00:02:09.940 wrote to generate books on any topic from any person I follow, click the link below and download
00:02:15.180 it for yourself number four decision making journal essentially you use ai to track the choices and
00:02:21.100 review them later to improve your decision making based on the results they got you here's how you
00:02:25.900 do it log all your major decisions into chat gpt with an expected outcome whether personal or in
00:02:31.820 your work and ask it to challenge you on your thinking see most ais are designed to be very
00:02:38.060 agreeable and unless you tell it to actually challenge you it won't so make sure that you
00:02:44.060 include that in your prompt number five the ai camcorder method you can take a messy recording
00:02:50.460 of you doing something that you want to create a repeatable checklist from or standard operating
00:02:55.100 procedure or a playbook and you can get ai to do that for you all you have to do is paste the raw
00:03:00.540 notes or transcript from any video of you doing something and ask chat gpt for a one-page checklist
00:03:06.700 with all the pitfalls in the reminders for whatever you gave it it will create a better system
00:03:12.140 documentation for repeating a task or a project in your life that you can give to somebody else
00:03:17.360 to do for you. Number six, break down goals to actions. Most people have a vision for their life,
00:03:23.380 but they don't have a plan because they've never done it before. You can use AI to actually help
00:03:27.640 you build a plan. Here's how we do it. Tell chat GPT what your goal is and ask it to design a 30,
00:03:33.060 60, 90 day roadmap with action items. And it'll build that for you. Number seven, visualize your
00:03:39.060 dreams. Instead of spending all your time finding images to download and spending hours in
00:03:45.420 Photoshop, you can have AI create a vision board that has everything that you want to vision for
00:03:50.900 your life front and center in that image. So here's how we do it. We take our goals from the last step
00:03:57.200 and ask AI to generate images of what your life would look like once you achieve them and then
00:04:02.520 look at it every day. Be in the energy of achievement. Number eight, automate savings
00:04:08.540 and investment plan. Essentially, you want to automate your wealth building when your motivation
00:04:13.720 isn't there and you get AI to give you the plan. So ask Chad GPT to draft a pay yourself first
00:04:20.380 schedule and bank rules for emergency fund, debt, investments for your specific situation. Most
00:04:25.540 people hire these wealth folks that really don't even have any money to build a plan for you. AI
00:04:29.960 will give you that with more clarity, specificity, specific for your situation. Number nine, tax
00:04:35.680 deduction finder right off the bat talk to a professional but having ai catch write-offs
00:04:42.340 opportunities for credit and grants where most people miss is a huge opportunity to get more
00:04:47.980 money back upload all your expenses ask chat gpt based on your situation flag likely deductions
00:04:54.960 and build a monthly tracking checklist and also ask it what are the grants that might be available
00:04:59.640 that I might qualify for.
00:05:01.460 Number 10, personal board of advisors.
00:05:04.340 One of the most powerful strategies to progress your life
00:05:06.860 is the concept of a mastermind or a board of mentors.
00:05:10.080 The problem is, is a lot of these people aren't available.
00:05:12.260 AI can help you build that without them being in your life,
00:05:15.560 even if they're not alive.
00:05:16.900 The first part is you can actually ask ChadGPT
00:05:19.480 to tell you who has achieved the goals
00:05:21.700 that you want to achieve,
00:05:22.740 so they help you build that list.
00:05:23.980 Then you can tell it to act like them in a custom GPT
00:05:27.800 to answer any question you might have
00:05:29.700 about sequencing or decisions or structure
00:05:32.340 based on the AI's best guess
00:05:34.520 for how those people would have made those decisions
00:05:36.440 in their life.
00:05:37.660 Number 11, future self letters that rewire you.
00:05:40.900 Essentially, you stay motivated
00:05:42.860 by receiving letters from your future self.
00:05:46.080 What you wanna do is you wanna feed ChatGPT
00:05:48.120 your goals and your fears.
00:05:49.580 Then ask it to draft letters delivered to you
00:05:52.920 in 30, 90, or 365 days.
00:05:56.100 You can actually send them every month if you want.
00:05:57.800 but it's gonna write the letters
00:05:59.360 that's gonna anticipate how you might be feeling
00:06:01.880 based on where you're at in your life,
00:06:04.020 around your goals,
00:06:04.980 and it's gonna just keep you motivated.
00:06:07.140 Number 12, context-aware memory vault.
00:06:10.240 Essentially, you wanna let AI become your second brain.
00:06:13.780 To do that, we wanna create project folders
00:06:16.080 and dump everything into it.
00:06:18.480 You can have a folder where you upload everything,
00:06:21.400 your bank accounts, your current investments.
00:06:23.780 You can even reference books
00:06:25.040 that you think are kind of aligned with your values
00:06:27.460 of how you want to live your life.
00:06:28.800 You know, Die With Zero is a great book.
00:06:30.520 And then ask it to help you make decisions
00:06:33.040 based on the context of your life.
00:06:35.500 That way it acts as a second brain
00:06:37.260 and it can recall relevant insights that it made
00:06:39.940 based on what you shared with it.
00:06:41.300 So when you want to make new decisions,
00:06:42.560 it has all the information about your current life
00:06:44.800 and you give it the new information.
00:06:46.140 Then you say, okay, now I've got a kid.
00:06:48.000 How should I think about my investments differently?
00:06:50.240 And it'll give you an answer.
00:06:51.380 I use project folders for everything.
00:06:53.780 My investments in my life,
00:06:55.500 the individual companies that I run,
00:06:57.460 I was buying a new piece of real estate in Cabo.
00:06:59.820 I had that as a project folder.
00:07:01.720 It is the coolest thing to have my second brain be in AI.
00:07:05.780 Number 13, just in time, learning paths.
00:07:09.260 The ability to learn is a master skill.
00:07:12.320 Too many people get busy learning stuff
00:07:14.200 that doesn't actually help them.
00:07:15.340 So let's say you wanna have ChadGPT
00:07:17.780 teach you how to use AI.
00:07:19.860 You can ask it to map out 20% of the lessons
00:07:23.620 to learn how to use AI that matters most
00:07:25.900 and skip all the fluff.
00:07:27.140 That way, it's just a punchy learning path
00:07:29.780 that's just in time
00:07:30.860 based on what you're dealing with right now.
00:07:32.900 Number 14, meeting assistant.
00:07:35.140 I wrote a book called Buy Back Your Time.
00:07:36.600 So anything that talks about assistance,
00:07:38.200 I get really excited.
00:07:39.280 But what I do is I use AI to turn all my meetings
00:07:42.560 into assets, not just a huge time sink.
00:07:45.240 So for example, you wanna give the call recordings
00:07:47.660 that you have, ideally you're doing them over Zoom,
00:07:49.960 to AI and then have it pull all the notes
00:07:53.640 and tell you what do you need to do
00:07:55.640 based on that conversation.
00:07:56.680 This might sound crazy, but I have a guy on my team,
00:07:59.820 Optin, who wears a AI pin.
00:08:02.080 It's a necklace that's always on.
00:08:03.560 It's by Limitless.
00:08:04.760 And essentially, that necklace is doing this
00:08:07.200 in real time for him all the time.
00:08:09.000 He's in a meeting talking to somebody.
00:08:10.880 It does a summary of the meeting
00:08:11.960 and tell him what he needs to add to his to-do list
00:08:13.660 all real time, always on.
00:08:15.900 A little advanced, but let's just start with having you
00:08:18.400 get the recordings of your calls
00:08:19.900 and transcribe them through AI.
00:08:22.080 Number 15, risk assessment.
00:08:23.740 Essentially, you wanna have AI assess the risk
00:08:27.060 of your business or life decisions.
00:08:29.060 I do this all the time.
00:08:30.580 I like to use the voice app and I'll go on a walk
00:08:33.740 and I will talk through my earbuds to AI about my life.
00:08:38.300 I will give it all the context and the situation.
00:08:40.780 The other day, I had a major business restructuring decision
00:08:43.540 and I gave it all the people, the business size,
00:08:46.700 the team members, and it gave me back the decision
00:08:49.960 that I was scared to make.
00:08:51.360 I said, chat GPT, sell me on it.
00:08:54.020 And it said, boom, boom, boom.
00:08:56.480 Here are the pros and cons.
00:08:57.840 That was the decision.
00:08:59.160 And the whole point is to use it
00:09:00.480 to help you mitigate the risk.
00:09:01.740 So then after it gives you ideas,
00:09:03.260 then you can ask it.
00:09:04.440 Tell me all the risk in that decision
00:09:06.540 so I can understand what decision I'm actually making.
00:09:09.220 Number 16, message sharpener.
00:09:11.360 I have two people in my life.
00:09:12.840 I have one person who doesn't like to talk.
00:09:15.340 I have another person who talks too much.
00:09:17.520 I taught them how to create custom GPTs
00:09:20.400 that they can talk to for it to either add stuff
00:09:23.420 to the person who doesn't ask or ask them questions
00:09:25.340 or to trim it for the one
00:09:27.060 that just seems incredibly verbose.
00:09:29.160 Here's how you set it up.
00:09:30.800 You open up GPT and you hit the little microphone button
00:09:34.020 and you talk to it.
00:09:35.300 Hello, are you there?
00:09:36.240 Hey there, yep, I'm here and ready to chat.
00:09:38.740 Let me know what you need.
00:09:39.860 All right, I need you to take what I'm about to say,
00:09:42.000 which is gonna be a very direct and angry thing,
00:09:44.800 and then take exactly what I said,
00:09:46.800 but re-say it in a way that's kinder, softer, and more still direct, but not as harsh. Can you do
00:09:54.800 that? Absolutely. I can do that. Just go ahead and tell me what you want to say and I'll reshape
00:09:59.900 it into something a bit gentler for you. Yo bro, why didn't you send me the f***ing 2026 goals yet?
00:10:06.620 Got it. So let's soften that up a bit. You could say something like, hey, I noticed I haven't
00:10:11.580 received the 2026 goals yet. Could you please send them over when you get a chance? Still direct,
00:10:16.140 but definitely a bit kinder.
00:10:17.980 Let's go, I love it, thank you.
00:10:20.020 It may sound funny,
00:10:21.280 but I know a lot of people that should be using that.
00:10:23.620 Number 17, travel architect.
00:10:26.640 Using AI to help you plan a trip is a master tool
00:10:30.800 in you not feeling overwhelmed or confused.
00:10:34.060 What you can do is give it the dates,
00:10:36.860 your budget, your preferences,
00:10:38.840 and then ask it for a five-stop plan
00:10:41.620 with hidden gems and must-sees.
00:10:43.900 We're currently on a nine-month world schooling trip
00:10:48.120 going to like 15 countries and 40 plus cities.
00:10:51.500 And we've been using AI to help us design,
00:10:54.760 follow weather, find games to go to,
00:10:57.400 ensure the kids are always busy, all designed with AI.
00:11:00.680 There is zero chance that we could have got
00:11:02.740 to the level of trip planning without AI
00:11:05.700 for our world schooling adventures.
00:11:07.200 And if you use agent mode,
00:11:08.720 all you have to do is give it your card.
00:11:10.860 Number 18, an emotional debrief partner.
00:11:13.900 using ai to turn bad days or bad moments into lessons is one of the number one use cases for
00:11:21.500 ai getting clarity around a situation it's so powerful the easiest way to do that is go into
00:11:27.560 voice mode and just vent and give it everything here's the situation here's what they said here's
00:11:34.000 how i felt and then you can ask chat gpt to say sort through the noise and the signal and give me
00:11:40.040 one lesson, one silver lining that I might be able to take on to shift my perspective. And it will
00:11:46.680 give you that micro shift. Here's why that's powerful. If you stay in your head, you're in
00:11:51.660 trouble. If you get things out to talk with somebody, it helps. And look, it doesn't replace
00:11:57.820 a therapist, but it also is something that's available to you right now in the moment. Don't
00:12:03.180 need to schedule it. Doesn't cost anything. It honestly has access to all the best therapy
00:12:08.200 strategies to at least give you some direction better than just sitting there by yourself trying
00:12:12.800 to think about it in your head number 19 content creator this is not what you think i actually use
00:12:19.240 it to turn memories into content ideas so that i can share those with the world the way you do this
00:12:24.560 is you ask chadgbt to ask you all the meaningful stories moments transformations you've ever had
00:12:30.720 in your life and then you just answer it and then say please reformat these into a psl framework
00:12:37.860 Essentially a point, story, lesson.
00:12:40.800 What it does is it takes all the stories
00:12:42.520 that you've just like kind of rambled about
00:12:44.500 and answered questions about this meaningful moment
00:12:46.780 and then it rewrites it in a structure
00:12:48.620 that you can then create content with
00:12:50.480 that actually hits hard.
00:12:52.780 Number 20, the contract translator.
00:12:55.440 One of the ultimate use cases for AI is legal.
00:12:58.800 Simplifying confusing contracts and financial docs
00:13:01.600 is a must, but there's a way to do it
00:13:04.140 that most people don't think about.
00:13:05.420 What I do is I have my assistant,
00:13:07.260 before she talks to my lawyer,
00:13:09.100 upload every contract that comes into my life
00:13:11.620 up to Chad GPT,
00:13:12.980 and then I ask it to rewrite the contract in plain English,
00:13:17.660 highlighting any of the riskiest terms
00:13:20.300 that I need to know about,
00:13:21.940 and then I ask it to tell me the three questions
00:13:24.160 I should be asking about that contract.
00:13:26.380 I can take my assistant who has no legal background
00:13:29.000 and turn her into a paralegal next level ninja
00:13:32.540 to prep all the contracts
00:13:34.060 where I just have all my email drafts
00:13:35.920 having the answers to those questions.
00:13:38.320 Number 21, the contract creator.
00:13:40.760 This one's powerful
00:13:41.760 because it will save you hundreds of dollars in legal fees
00:13:44.940 instead of hiring a lawyer.
00:13:46.720 It may sound simple,
00:13:48.100 but let me give you the specific prompts.
00:13:50.680 Essentially, you wanna explain your situation
00:13:52.520 in plain English,
00:13:53.420 but also give it all the details
00:13:55.340 about the city you live in,
00:13:56.600 the country you live in,
00:13:57.500 the situation,
00:13:58.140 and then ask it to ask you any other questions
00:14:01.180 it would need to draft a world-class professional contract
00:14:05.300 act as a legal expert. Once it asks you those questions, you answer it and you hit enter,
00:14:09.660 it will draft you something that most lawyers do not know how to do. And again, you can also use
00:14:15.120 it to evaluate pros and cons to see if it's too one-sided for you, because it probably will be,
00:14:20.280 so that you can find something that's more fair. Number 22, tough conversation role play.
00:14:25.460 Essentially using AI to have a sparring partner to role play through tough conversations you know
00:14:31.200 you should be having, but you might be avoiding. This could be maybe a parent you need to talk to.
00:14:36.440 This could be your partner where you might have to have a really important conversation. This
00:14:41.000 could be somebody on your team that you have to give feedback to. It might even be going to the
00:14:45.100 bank and asking for a loan and you're really scared to do that, right? So what I like to do
00:14:49.280 is ask ChatGBT to act like a certain persona. Let's say your boss, your manager, your employee,
00:14:55.300 and then have it role play as that person with you. Then you can walk through the situation
00:15:00.940 where you're explaining your perspective
00:15:02.960 and kind of what they made you feel
00:15:04.840 and have it prompt back and forth
00:15:06.760 to have that conversation before you ever have it.
00:15:09.120 Using it to role play will make you feel
00:15:10.960 way more comfortable
00:15:11.780 when it comes to actually having the conversation.
00:15:14.140 Number 23, the eulogy writer.
00:15:16.620 A eulogy is an incredible way
00:15:18.260 to have alignment with your life
00:15:20.320 and actually see how you might be remembered
00:15:22.580 through other people's eyes.
00:15:24.380 A while ago, when I was 23,
00:15:26.600 my first business coach, his name was Bob,
00:15:28.880 asked me to do something on our first call
