Ep 91 - Revisiting the Basics: Getting More Out of ChatGPT
About this episode
Episode Summary
In this solo walk-and-talk episode, host Cary Weston goes back to the basics of using ChatGPT, focusing on the evergreen principles that make the tool — and other AI assistants like Copilot, Claude, and Gemini — more effective. Cary explains that success with AI isn't about memorizing prompts or clicking the right buttons, but about your mindset— how you communicate, guide, and collaborate with these tools. Using his four-part framework, he shows how treating ChatGPT like a smart intern helps unlock better results, deeper insights, and more creative conversations.
3 Key Takeaways
-
Think of ChatGPT as your amazing intern. It's capable, but it needs direction, context, and clarity to do great work.
-
Use Cary's four-part framework: What are we doing? Why are we doing it? What does success look like? Do you have any questions for me?
-
Keep the conversation going. Don't treat ChatGPT's first answer as final — it's a starting point. Use feedback, context, and natural conversation to guide it closer to what you want.
