5 Daily AI Hacks Using ChatGPT


I hate doing things.

Wait, let me finish! I hate doing things when I know there’s a better process out there.

It’s the reason that you’ll find me griping about the inefficiency of an unnecessarily long line. It’s why I love fast-paced startups and would struggle to survive in a slow corporate environment. And it’s why I’ve been in love with AI since 2020!

Here are 5 AI hacks I’m constantly using with ChatGPT:

Summarizing Emails

It’s 5 PM on a Thursday, but you still have 4 follow-up emails with 5 action items each to get through as the caffeine wears thin. No better time than any to get acquainted with chatGPT!

Voilà! And don’t judge me for the excessive pleases. Good manners get good results!

Coding

No vocation has been more quickly and visibly affected by AI than coding. We even recently got our first AI Software Engineer! Using AI has made me 5x as productive an engineer. ChatGPT has been trained on billions of lines of code, and it’ll even give a decent enough answer to the most ambitious of asks.

Overall, if you’re a purist coder that won’t touch AI, you’re gonna get left behind.

Legal Advice (Disclaimer)

Look, I know this is a little crazy given how dangerous bad legal advice is. Buuut, lawyers are expensive and should be reserved for lawsuits and divorces (or both). It’s become a ritual with every half-baked business idea I’ve had to just do a gut check: “Is it legal to…”.

Accounting

Accountants are really expensive too (there’s a theme here), and sometimes I just have a simple question! At least I think it’s simple, until I’ve just spent 2 hours arguing with a robot.

Knowledge!

This is the last and by far the most important AI hack. All previous hacks really fall under this category. Knowledge used to transfer through trial and error (hopefully those berries weren’t poisonous) and then by word of mouth and then through books and libraries. Finally we got to the internet, and we figured that was the final stage of evolution. But now knowledge has become more accessible than ever because it’s both curated and seemingly omniscient. No more sifting through Google sponsored results and Wikipedia with its 100s of distracting side topics.
