[00:00:00] Speaker 1: If you're still using ChatGBT like a fancy search engine, here's a quick rundown of some other, more powerful things you could be doing. You can draft emails and documents with simple prompts, and then continue to improve and refine them through a back-and-forth conversation. You can upload a file, like a report, a PDF, or spreadsheet, and ask ChatGBT to summarize it. And you can keep asking questions about it to dig into the details you might have missed. Anytime you need to make a decision between products or services, you can research and compare options and get a structured breakdown in seconds. And you can create plans, outlines, and content calendars from scratch, so you're never starting from a blank page. With a paid plan, Projects lets ChatGBT hold onto your files and context, so you're not re-explaining everything every single time. And with a paid ChatGBT account and Zapier, you can connect it to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Slack, and thousands of other apps you already use. So ChatGBT isn't just for chatting, it's a full workflow tool. Drop into the comments and tell us how you use it.
