00:00If you've ever found yourself staring at a blank chatbot window thinking,
00:04uh, what do I even type here?
00:06I promise you're not alone.
00:08Whether you're using ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, or even Perplexity,
00:14the key to getting great results isn't just using AI, it's knowing how to prompt it.
00:19So in this video, I'm sharing my go-to best prompts that work across pretty much any AI chatbot.
00:25First up, rewrite this in two tones, one casual, one professional.
00:30This is so helpful if you're trying to send a tricky email, write a caption, or even rework a resume
00:36bullet point.
00:37You get instant tone options, and it saves a ton of time guessing what sounds right.
00:42Next, I'll refer to this go-to prompt as smart summarizing.
00:47I'll upload a long article and ask the chatbot to summarize this without losing nuance,
00:52and instantly, I get a digestible summary of this article.
00:56It's perfect for research, or meeting notes, or even entire books.
01:01This prompt tells the chatbot, hey, don't dumb it down,
01:04essentially giving you the big picture without stripping out the important stuff.
01:08Another prompt I use almost daily helps greatly when I don't know where to start
01:13or learning more about a topic I know little to nothing about is,
01:17what are the most important questions I should be asking about this topic?
01:22And your chatbot will surface the smart questions you didn't know to ask,
01:27and will help you refine your search based on what aspect of the given topic stands out.
01:33Again, this one is gold when you're diving into a new topic
01:36and want to become knowledgeable about it quickly.
01:39Next, try asking, give me the creative ideas related to insert topic of your choice.
01:45Ever feeling stuck in a creative rut?
01:47Or do you just need some help thinking outside of the box?
01:50Consider your AI chatbot your on-demand muse.
01:53Whether it's gift ideas, blog post headlines, or ways to decorate a kid's birthday party,
01:59this one can spark serious inspiration.
02:02Okay, stick with me here.
02:04We're going to go a little deeper.
02:05Critical thinking can be a major asset in all sorts of situations,
02:09and I encourage you to try it from time to time with this prompt.
02:13You'll ask, what are some common assumptions about a given topic,
02:18and what happens if we challenge them?
02:21If you want to think outside the box or play devil's advocate in a meeting,
02:25this is a prompt you have to try.
02:28It helps you see blind spots and rethink what everyone knows.
02:32Now, this might be my favorite AI prompt overall,
02:36because it's the best way to get something I'm sure we can all use a little bit more of in
02:41life.
02:42Clarity.
02:43You'll enter, explain a complex topic like I'm five.
02:48Or, if you don't want to enter an age, just ask for it to be explained in simpler terms.
02:53Whether it's how quantum computing works, or why interest rates are rising,
02:59this one turns jargon into plain English.
03:02No fluff, no filler, just the why and how.
03:05How can I optimize my approach to a certain task for better efficiency?
03:09Listen, we're all really busy, and we all need time back.
03:13This is basically a low-key life coach in prompt form.
03:17You'll get time-saving tips and process tweaks that actually make a difference.
03:21This one is definitely both work and home life approved.
03:25I have another prompt for upping your level of empowerment,
03:29or even just battling some of the anxieties that you're facing with an upcoming project or event.
03:35Share the relevant details and ask the chatbot,
03:38what potential blind spots should I be aware of in this plan?
03:43I'd recommend using this before submitting a proposal,
03:46making a big decision, or just double-checking your own assumptions.
03:50The AI acts like a second set of eyes.
03:52Last but not least, this final prompt is one you can use in pretty much any kind of situation.
03:58It's simple, but it can truly change your day-to-day.
04:01Enter whatever it is you have going on.
04:04Messy notes, random thoughts, sloppy outline,
04:07and ask, organize the following information into a clear and structured format.
04:13This prompt cleans up your ideas instantly,
04:15and gives you something you can actually work with.
04:18If you just want to put a bunch of thoughts together and think about the format later,
04:23this is a great prompt for you.
04:24So there you go.
04:25The best AI prompts that work like magic.
