What if I told you ChatGPT is like a toolbox filled with power tools and yet you're still
00:00:05.500
using this tiny little screwdriver to fix everything? Because the truth is most people
00:00:10.080
are only using 10% of ChatGPT's potential, if that. As someone who spends every freaking day
00:00:16.160
building AI products in my company Martell Ventures, I'm going to show you 24 hidden
00:00:21.180
ChatGPT features that will save you hours, automate the most annoying repetitive tasks,
00:00:43.420
All right, let's start with some quick, fun ones.
00:01:09.600
There's chatty, there's witty, there's encouraging.
00:01:12.340
If you need a little bit more pep in your responses,
00:01:19.000
For example, I want you to be direct and ruthless.
00:01:24.140
for the sake of it. ChatGPT acts like a Canadian. It is like the nicest, polite, never argues with
00:01:30.580
you. That's not going to push your life forward. So change that setting and see what it does from
00:01:34.400
a personality point of view. And by the way, I'm Canadian, so I can see that. Hack number two,
00:01:38.700
tell ChatGPT who you are. Let's just call it GPT for short. Essentially, GPT performs better when
00:01:44.780
it knows you. How do you do it? Well, same thing. We go to our profile, bottom left, click
00:01:50.240
personalization. And underneath that, it says about you, where it says more about you. That's
00:01:55.840
where you enter in two or three lines. It tells them about who you are. Talk about your occupation,
00:02:01.020
your desires, what you're working on. Mine, for example, is I'm Dan, CEO that builds AI companies,
00:02:07.100
and I create YouTube videos teaching people how to scale their business. Short and sweet,
00:02:10.680
but that context makes the response way more personal to who I am. If you're not doing this,
00:02:16.060
you're wasting your time. Now, it'll know more about you every time you start a conversation.
00:02:20.240
hack number three memory this one's huge essentially gpt has the ability for it to
00:02:25.920
remember things about you maybe projects you're working on or preferences that you like in life
00:02:30.560
but you can actually tweak this in the settings you go in the same place under personalization
00:02:35.360
memory there's actually a section where you can click through and see what it's already recorded
00:02:39.840
of you and delete stuff if it's not accurate in the personalization there's a memory section and
00:02:44.320
next to it there's a button that says manage click that and you'll see everything it knows about you
00:02:51.180
with anybody else, but it makes it a lot easier.
00:02:55.220
that I was training for a sub four hour marathon
00:03:05.820
to make the training recommendations more specific.
00:03:14.120
or you don't have a thought on dark or light mode,
00:03:16.880
You just go back to your profile, general, then click appearance.
00:03:26.720
But the appearance itself, you can go dark or light mode.
00:03:33.940
if you're an entrepreneur and you're like trying to keep up on this AI stuff
00:03:37.160
while you're freaking maxed out on your time, I totally get it.
00:03:41.740
managing a team and trying to figure out how to integrate this AI on top of all that.
00:03:50.620
It's the exact frameworks that I use a plugin AI
00:04:06.240
All right, you chatty chatters, you know who you are.
00:04:09.000
Look, you can actually have a human-like conversation
00:04:14.000
It is how I interact with GPT most of the time.
00:04:20.040
and you click this beautiful little black wavy type icon
00:04:42.680
Absolutely, I can speed it up and keep it super simple.
00:04:46.520
hey, AI is basically like a really smart robot brain
00:04:50.020
that learns patterns from a bunch of stuff people show it,
00:05:12.040
It's great for brainstorming while you're walking.
00:05:15.740
it knows when you're talking versus not talking.
00:05:30.120
You know, the ones that are always taking pictures?
00:05:37.100
objects in your environment and use it to get feedback
00:05:40.620
on what you're looking at, how to fix something.
00:05:45.080
most people can't find it is you go to the voice mode and then there's the camera icon that'll
00:05:49.000
light up once i've got connection see that so i go like this and i say hey what kind of plant is
00:05:54.440
that oh i see it that plant definitely looks like a dracaena one of those tall leafy house plants
00:06:00.600
that are pretty forgiving indoors that's exactly what i was going to say thanks for that it's so
00:06:05.240
cool you can point it at everything and it'll help you out i have a few cool cars and unfortunately
00:06:10.200
I don't know how the cars all work so I'm often taking a picture of a car and saying where's the
00:06:15.700
battery in this how do I disconnect this there's a light that's on in my dash what does it mean
00:06:19.720
I use a camera mode almost every day the other day I was traveling in Barcelona with my kids
00:06:24.600
and my team was teaching my kid Max on how to use it to actually get really cool information about
00:06:30.200
all these paintings he was looking at he's like I don't care about freaking old paintings essentially
00:06:33.880
he just pointed the camera to the painting and it would just start telling him about what they were
00:06:38.060
looking at. It made it interesting for him and he enjoyed being at the museum. Hack number seven,
00:06:42.900
projects. This one is like a folder on your computer that has all of the information about
00:06:48.140
a project all in one place. Do you have projects? That's what I thought. Are you using the projects
00:06:52.420
folder? No, you got it. What it does is it centralizes all the information about your
00:06:57.280
project so you can prompt directly with it, ask it questions, give it new information, grab emails,
00:07:02.380
like it's everything specific around an outcome you're trying to achieve. So here's how you do
00:07:06.720
it. You literally go on the left side. It says projects, expand it, hit new projects. Then you
00:07:12.360
give it a name. So you could say opening up a new location and you can put all the files around
00:07:19.220
opening up that location. I mean, talk about plans and diagrams and emails and conversations. You
00:07:24.900
just like drop it all in there. Then you can prompt and say, Hey, these are the locations
00:07:29.400
I'm considering. What are other ones I haven't considered based on the best practices of my
00:07:33.520
industry. And it might analyze everything you've given it and say, well, you know what, this corner
00:07:37.540
on this area of the city is actually a better one based on where you're at now. One of my favorite
00:07:42.180
hacks is exporting an email thread as a PDF and just uploading it to have more context. So sometimes
00:07:47.240
your emails are outside of projects, but you can just get them in there really quick by doing print
00:07:51.480
to PDF. It can do some advanced things. I use it for analyzing real estate deals. I look at for
00:07:57.480
analyzing investments. I pretty much look at it for anything that's considered a project in my life.
00:08:02.880
And the next time you use a new prompt in that project,
00:08:05.980
it'll use the previous conversation as context to answer that question.
00:08:11.960
Essentially, it allows you to write, edit, and perfect any output directly in ChowGBT,
00:08:21.380
Essentially, in any chat, you can either click the plus dropdown and go to more and see Canvas,
00:08:29.360
i literally just say create an email and put it in a canvas and then it'll just do that you'll
00:08:35.840
notice that it's a little different you have this little edit icon here's where it gets awesome you
00:08:39.760
can type anything and say make it more concise write it in the tone of dan martell and essentially
00:08:48.560
it knows who you are so you can say your name and then again you'll see it kind of like scan through
00:08:53.040
it and it'll update that message based on what you asked it to do you can change the tone you can be
00:08:57.840
more direct you could say no bolt you could say go do some research and update it using these best
00:09:01.840
practices whatever you want and then it saves it with version history and my favorite part is you
00:09:07.040
can actually change things in there so if i say the main reason i say the right way and then so
00:09:12.880
you can edit it whatever and then the cool part is sometimes i'll say write me the system prompt
00:09:18.640
that would have gotten this output quicker that is just a cool way to like work on something and
00:09:23.360
and then use ChatGPT to tell you how you could have told it
00:09:30.640
just watch the video that I tag at the end of this one
00:09:37.820
Did you know you can automate tasks, reminders,
00:09:40.580
repeat them daily, weekly, monthly within ChatGPT?
00:09:45.320
remind me every morning at 9 a.m. to check new AI tools.
00:10:00.540
and find the top new AI information about small businesses
00:10:06.040
Most people don't realize that ChatGPT can help you
00:10:09.160
with any kind of reminders, scheduling, et cetera.
00:10:12.340
The way you set it up is go to profile, personalization,
00:10:20.000
you can choose how you wanna get notified as well.
00:10:35.880
is real data, real anecdotes, real connections.
00:10:41.000
you hit the plus icon and you say deep research.
00:10:43.180
Now you can say, find me an open sports bar in Dubai playing the Superbowl. Now it's going to
00:10:51.600
go all over the internet to find places that have the Superbowl being streamed at that sports bar.
00:10:57.100
If you don't do stuff like that, it doesn't work. For example, if you're in real estate,
00:11:00.900
try this out. Just do forward slash deep research. That's another quick hack to get to that mode
00:11:04.960
and then say, create a one page report on 2025 real estate investment trends in Texas,
00:11:17.360
and I don't want it to use only the information that it has.
00:11:39.220
then go to apps and connectors and then it literally has google calendar so you do need
00:11:43.420
to connect it but it's safe it's secure that's how we add it to gpt for example once it's connected
00:11:48.360
i can literally ask it to check my calendar and tell me what tasks i spent the most time on in
00:11:52.660
the last three weeks it'll analyze every calendar entry and give you that answer only if you put
00:11:57.680
stuff in your calendar which you should because that's what highly productive people do now at
00:12:01.920
the time of this recording gpt can't modify create calendar entries yet but if you stick around until
00:12:07.960
the end, I'll actually show you a workaround where you can get it working today. Hack number 12,
00:12:12.700
email integration. This one is a must. You have to do this. It'll change the way you interact with
00:12:17.920
GPT. Essentially, GPT can read and reference your email inbox. The way you do it, same thing. Go to
00:12:24.100
profile, settings, apps and connectors, and connect your Gmail. So now you can type, summarize every
00:12:29.200
unread email from this morning, and it'll give you a short and condensed overview of those emails.
0.80
00:12:34.240
so you can stay out of your freaking inbox and stay working.
0.64
00:12:37.100
Pro tip, I would combine this with the reminder hack
0.60
00:12:59.980
but you can use it for comparing different documents
00:13:03.680
I'm curious. So you can upload two documents and ask GPT to highlight the difference and it'll give
00:13:08.660
you the highlight and differences. So for example, I got these two service level agreements that got
00:13:12.240
sent out. One came back. I want to know what they change. I just drop it there. And then I type,
00:13:16.860
show me a comparison of these two documents. Watch this. Boom. Here's a side-by-side comparison. So
00:13:24.960
it creates this table and it literally goes and it says, oh, look at this. This change, this change,
00:13:29.880
change summary updated to a year oh why would they do that services payments oh that's interesting
00:13:35.080
higher rates shorter payment window so for example i'm gonna write compare these two contracts and
00:13:40.360
tell me which one is a better deal for me then i send it and it's gonna tell me isn't that awesome
00:13:45.160
verdict better deal for you as a client 2024 service agreement final verdict and tell me why
00:13:50.760
hack number 14 model switching when gbt5 came out and kind of consolidated everything people started
00:13:56.360
freak it out because they're like i was used to using this and i was used to using this even though
00:14:00.280
gpt5 usually selects the right model behind the scene automagically for you you can still choose
00:14:05.720
the manual one from the past most people just don't know how to turn that on so here's how we
00:14:09.880
do it we go to the profile settings general there's a toggle show additional models turn that on and
00:14:16.200
now in your chat window you'll be able to choose the different ones the reason you would do this
00:14:19.960
is that if you've built other prompts on those models you want them to be the same so that you
00:14:25.400
can compare the same outputs it's a little bit more technical and most people wouldn't consider
00:14:28.600
this but it's also for speed it's for specific use cases so i do this if i want to do a bunch
00:14:34.440
of tests and i don't want to wait for the model to choose i want to tell it which one to use so
00:14:38.760
that the outputs are a lot faster pack 15 study mode this is where you get it to act like a tutor
00:14:44.520
gpt can teach you any topic like a real tutor and the best part is you can adjust it for any grade
00:14:49.480
level so in the chat window you just click the plus and then go to more and then you can see
00:14:53.880
study and learn so when you click it now you can ask it to help me with my homework you can even
00:14:58.360
ask it anything teach me basic economics like i'm in the 10th grade and the cool part it'll stop and
00:15:04.280
then ask you and quiz you to see if you actually know it the other day i was doing possessive
00:15:09.960
plural nouns with my son max because he's doing remote schooling and i didn't understand all the
00:15:15.640
ways that it's done so we had to use this to teach us so that we could get his test done because he
00:15:20.760
he was going to fail because we just couldn't grasp the concept. My favorite part is actually
00:15:24.660
using AI not to do my work, but to teach me things because then I can use that in my brain for other
00:15:29.100
stuff. A lot of people are just deferring their thinking to AI. That's dangerous. Using this will
00:15:33.760
teach you. Hack number 16, agent mode. This one's going to blow your mind. GPT can actually do tasks
00:15:39.700
for you. Controlling your screen while you're doing other stuff, it can get work done. So the
00:15:45.160
way we do it is we got to select agent mode or type agent. Okay, same thing. You just click the
00:15:48.980
plus icon and go to agent mode. Now it's in agent mode. You can ask it to do things. For example,
00:15:53.860
find 15 of the best restaurants in Dubai and build a spreadsheet with addresses, star ratings,
00:15:58.760
and open hours and link to their Instagram account. Now it's going to take that. It's
00:16:03.220
going to run the project while I'm going to go do something else. What it's doing is it's like
00:16:07.380
collecting information. It's saving it kind of like on a table like this. It's like printing
00:16:11.320
off the pages and putting them there. And then at the end, it's going to like correlate it and say,
00:16:14.880
okay, based on all these different sites, these are the top ones. I'll put that in a spreadsheet,
00:16:19.520
open up Google Sheets and actually create the Google Sheet, put all the addresses in there
00:16:23.080
with the information I asked for, and then give me that spreadsheet without having to touch my
00:16:27.320
laptop. It can do lead generation for you. It could book travel for you. It could do big research
00:16:32.820
projects for you. It can literally do anything. When all of a sudden the button clicks are done
00:16:37.460
by the computer, you just have to be the director. You don't have to be the doer anymore.
00:16:41.940
The next five hacks are all about apps, and you can activate them the exact same way.
00:16:49.040
You can have the GPT create full presentations, social posts, essentially designs instantly.
00:16:56.000
Most people stress, they're like, I don't have a designer on staff.
00:17:01.020
Just go to profile, personalization, apps and connectors, and activate the Canva app.
00:17:08.280
But now ChatGPT can talk to Canva to create the things
00:17:14.840
we'll add it to the apps that are below in the plus icon
00:17:20.360
So for example, create a five slide presentation
00:17:30.060
It tells me specifically what are the trends, et cetera,
00:18:02.540
Create a two-hour gym playlist based on the music
00:18:08.160
I can then use my phone and add it to my Spotify,
00:18:18.380
without listening to music, but it can't have words in it.
00:18:21.380
And I like EDM type musics, but there's different vibes.
00:18:24.160
So I'll just tell it to create a custom playlist
00:18:51.060
So I go down here and it's there and watch this.
00:18:53.860
Find a beginner's course on editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.
00:18:58.360
I don't even know anything about Adobe Premiere
00:19:10.340
ask it other things, watch the video, ask it questions,
00:19:13.100
tell me how that works, what's that button about?
00:19:15.320
So much different than how I learned in school.
00:19:29.000
Now, you just click that plus icon and you choose it.
00:19:31.980
And then I say, plan a four-day business trip to Austin
00:19:35.980
under $2,000, including flights, hotels, and things to do.
00:19:45.080
It does all the searches, does all the comparison,
00:19:54.900
but if it didn't, I could then switch to agent mode
00:19:58.540
and like sometimes it's cool because it'll even ask me clarifying questions I didn't even think
00:20:01.940
about like which departure city am I coming in from or what are the dates or etc and then that
00:20:05.880
uses all that information to put it together and if you prefer Expedia you can use that app extension
00:20:10.920
instead. Hack number 21 Figma app it allows you to create visual mock-ups and boards for design
00:20:17.900
projects so like kind of think of it like you know scribbling and ideation and just keeping it super
00:20:23.560
fun and visual. This is how I design a lot of the interfaces at my company Martell Ventures. When I
00:20:29.520
have new app ideas, new interfaces, websites, landing pages, you use Figma for this. So again,
00:20:35.440
you go to your profile app and connectors and you connect it like every other app. But here's a fun
00:20:39.440
one that every business should do. Build an org chart showing how roles connect in a small media
00:20:44.540
team. Make it color coded and easy to understand. Go find examples online of how media teams are
00:20:50.260
set up for best practices and design me that structure using Figma. There you go. It showed
00:20:55.840
me the roles that color code. It made it easy. Another use case for me is create a model that
00:21:01.020
represents the replacement ladder by Dan Martell in his book, buy back your time. Ta-da. So if
00:21:06.340
you've ever seen me draw circle squares, triangles, Venn diagrams, et cetera, I can just get Figma to
00:21:12.120
give me some first passes based on the information. So I give it the context. Here's what I'm thinking.
00:21:18.100
The names, the language, and it'll design it for me.
00:21:22.240
Like if you're in business, use all these connectors
00:21:28.520
GPT can run and visualize data and build small apps.
00:21:32.260
The way you do that is you can upload any CSV file,
00:21:35.400
a PDF or even code and just ask it to visualize it for me.
00:21:46.300
So for example, you can tell it to create data in a business and then apply a visualization
00:21:53.860
Create me fake data that analyzes a marketing funnel that I can visualize using the theory
00:22:01.740
Using GPT to create simulation data for you to test other apps is actually a pro move
00:22:08.400
Using the data I just attached, I want you to analyze it through the lens of theory of
00:22:13.300
constraints and tell me where the bottleneck is, but do an output that is visual using a canvas
00:22:19.420
and make sure you give me a visual representation of that bottleneck on top of that data. I'm
00:22:25.140
literally telling it to be visual using a canvas so that I can understand it easier. Hack 23,
00:22:31.460
code review and debugging. ChatGPT can read, analyze, and fix your code for any built-in
00:22:36.140
code review. Now, before you leave, let me just tell you, if you use Excel or any of these Google
00:22:40.500
advanced sheets there's little code snippets you could be using in your business in these apps to
00:22:44.580
make them work better and you don't know how to do it but you can use chat gpt to actually write it
00:22:48.900
and then you just copy paste it in or if you break something in the cell and like a sheet you can
00:22:54.020
copy paste it in and say what did i do wrong because i'm trying to get this output but i'm
00:22:58.020
getting this error and it'll actually give you the answer to fix the code so essentially you can
00:23:02.660
upload any code files directly into chat just paste it as a snippet and then just ask gbt to
00:23:07.620
review it or debug it so for example find any errors or suggest fixes for this python script
00:23:12.660
hack number 24 code and deploy web pages this one's wild you can turn gpt generated code into
00:23:19.780
a live website in seconds paying people to build landing pages for you silly when you can do it
00:23:25.620
yourself so just ask chat gpt to build your site so for example code a simple landing page for my
00:23:31.460
coaching business now you just click the preview it shows you the page that it just designed for
00:23:36.260
you now i didn't give it any information it took all the best practices look at that scale with
00:23:40.580
your team it has the features page it has the pricing the testimonial section etc now what's
00:23:46.340
crazy is i can literally say using dan martell's website as an example redesign it and then use
00:23:55.220
this document with all the information about my company to fill in the copy and if you don't have
00:24:00.100
it make it up the whole thing's there now you just download the file and then you upload it into a
00:24:04.420
a site that can host like a GitHub. Now, those are my 24. But as I promise, here's three game
00:24:10.320
changing bonus hacks that'll change everything. The first one is for my iPhone users. Have you
00:24:14.860
ever struggled with Siri and actually getting it to do what you want? Apple calls it Apple
00:24:19.020
Intelligence. I think it's Apple frustration. I can't believe they launched this friggin
00:24:22.600
AI powered crap. So essentially, when you use Siri, you can say skip Siri and go straight to
0.99
00:24:28.680
ChatGPT integrated into Apple Intelligence. But it's an extension. Here's how we do it. So you
00:24:33.640
go to settings you go to apple intelligence extensions chat gpt and then you just log into
00:24:39.020
your account then you click setup next and just enable chat gpt now it does require iphone 15 pro
00:24:45.520
or newer but it is awesome sauce so next time you say hey siri ask chat gpt to write a 10 minute
00:24:52.300
youtube script about the best uses of ai it'll do it using chat gpt then you can say hey siri
00:24:58.480
make a new note out of this and it'll save it straight into your apple notes do you see how
00:25:04.440
freaking productive this is like if you're not connecting these tools you're just working way
00:25:09.860
harder bonus number two rube.app integration so remember how i said there's ways that you can
00:25:15.240
actually make chat gpt create calendar entries and send emails this is how we do it you can connect
00:25:20.560
any app to chat gpt even if there's no native connectors like the way i've showed you earlier
00:25:25.740
so how do you do this for gmail example it's really simple you just click your profile
00:25:29.860
go to your settings apps connectors advance and turn on developer mode what's cool is you can go
00:25:35.620
to rube.app create an account go to the marketplace and select any tool they have and connect it
00:25:41.180
directly through developer mode by just copying and pasting what's called the mcp url mcp stands
00:25:46.960
for model control protocol which is just a fancy way of how these apps talk to each other when it
00:25:51.400
comes to ai so let's do that it's super quick and we got to go back into our settings and in the top
00:25:56.440
right under apps and connectors you'll see create and that's where you plug the mcp url into the app
00:26:01.960
creator so that you can connect it from within chat gpt to that app so for example now i can say
00:26:07.620
send an email to sam telling him i did a great job on the last youtube video
00:26:12.100
and it'll send that email and with that once you connect gmail and google calendar you can create
00:26:18.220
entries you can check emails you can send emails you can do a whole bunch of stuff that isn't
00:26:22.800
native to chat gpt and many others go look at the marketplace over on rube.app bonus number three
00:26:28.920
chat gpt atlas you may not know this but open ai just launched a new browser so they're competing
00:26:34.580
against safari and chrome but it's powered by chat gpt how do you get it you just go to the
00:26:40.040
open ai's website download it and then just log in using your gpt account now try it out just look
00:26:45.660
something simple like things to do in dubai now it creates these tabs with home search images and
00:26:50.780
videos you can even select articles from your search and open it on the sidebar you can talk
00:26:55.020
to it you can ask if i only have one day in dubai what's that one activity i can't miss
00:27:00.140
so it'll read the whole article and give me a very concise answer the other thing you can do
00:27:04.780
is agent actions where gpt can interact with the web on your behalf to fill out forms book trips
00:27:10.620
run tasks while you browse it's essentially brought my favorite two things ai and a browser
00:27:16.460
together to make it really simple so try it out find the 10 best things to do in manly australia
00:27:21.500

00:27:25.980
i can share that google doc with my assistant and say can you look into booking these this is
00:27:30.140
essentially the agent mode that i talked about earlier but now i can use my computer while it's
00:27:34.700
running it's just super cool stuff and they're just getting started with this i mean there is
00:27:38.860
fears that you know opening eyes trying to become the new internet but at the end of the day if
00:27:43.340
you're trying to be more productive and really take your chat gpt to the next level this is how
00:27:47.820
we do it i know that was so many features but here's the real deal pick the one that you were
00:27:53.980
like oh that's really cool and just start doing it every day over 14 21 60 days it'll just become
00:28:01.260
second nature then you can add another one and another one bookmark this video so you can come
00:28:05.580
back to it because i guarantee you're not using all of them but over time when you start adding
00:28:09.980
