ChatGPT: Top Tips & Tricks

1. Be Clear and Specific

💡 Tip:
The more specific your question, the better the response.
✔️ Example: Instead of
“Tell me about marketing,” try “What are the best
digital marketing strategies for small businesses?”

2. Provide Context

💡 Tip:
AI works best when it understands the background of your request.
✔️ Example: Instead of
“Explain supply chains,” try “Explain how supply
chains work in the retail industry.”

3. Break Down Complex Questions

💡 Tip:
If your query is broad, break it into smaller parts.
✔️ Example: Instead of
“How do startups succeed?” try:

• “What
  are the key success factors for startups?”
• “What
  are common mistakes startups make?”

4. Experiment with Rewording

💡 Tip:
If the AI’s answer isn’t quite right, tweak the wording.
✔️ Example: If “How
do I start an LLC?” gives a vague answer, try “What are the
legal steps to start an LLC in Florida?”

5. Use Step-by-Step Requests

💡 Tip:
Ask for a step-by-step breakdown when learning something new.
✔️ Example: “Can
you give me a step-by-step guide on writing a business plan?”

6. Ask for Sources and Verification

💡 Tip:
If accuracy is important, ask for sources or how to verify information.
✔️ Example: “Can
you provide sources or suggest where I can verify this information?”

7. Try Different AI Models

💡 Tip:
Different AIs have different strengths—experiment with ChatGPT, Gemini,
Copilot, or Perplexity.

✔️ Example:
ChatGPT is great for explanations and writing, while Perplexity specializes in
finding sources.

8. Use AI for Brainstorming & Creativity

💡 Tip:
AI is great for idea generation—use it for brainstorming names, marketing
ideas, or content creation.
✔️ Example: “Give
me 10 unique business name ideas for a tech startup.”

9. Refine and Iterate

💡 Tip:
Treat AI like a conversation—ask follow-ups and refine your request.
✔️ Example: “Can
you simplify that?” or “Can you give me an example?”

10. Use AI for Writing & Editing

💡 Tip:
AI can help with drafting, summarizing, and editing.
✔️ Example: “Rewrite
this paragraph to be more engaging.”
