4 ChatGPT Hacks You Didn't Know About

Hey there, it's Moritz. Glad you're back for another edition of The Prompt Warrior.

As always, my goal is to turn you into an AI prompt expert.

In this post, I'm going to share some of my favourite hacks to optimise my ChatGPT workflow. These simple tips will save you a ton of time and help you use ChatGPT like a boss.

Let’s dive in.

Before we begin, a big thank you to our sponsors who keep this newsletter free to the reader:

This week’s newsletter is sponsored by Krisp AI.​ Krisp AI is a ChatGPT powered AI meeting assistant. It automatically summarises main points from a call, important action items and produces shareable meeting notes.

📁 Save your most used prompts

When working with ChatGPT, I often use the same prompts over and over. To help me access them quickly, I use a tool called Text Blaze (Not sponsored, I just genuinely like it).

This tool allows me to save the entire prompt and then set a shortcut to access it quickly. This has been a real time-saver for me, as I don't have to type out the same prompt every time I need to use it. Instead, I can simply use the shortcut and have the prompt ready to go in no time.

📍 Keeping track of your chats

ChatGPT currently does not provide an effective way to keep track of your chats (I’m still waiting for that pinned chats feature).

But why do I actually need this? Here are some examples:

• Chats where I used ChatGPT to learn my writing style (see how here). I want to just jump back into those chats quickly when I need them.

• Chats where the results from iterative prompting were exceptionally good.

• Coaching simulation chats. For example my chat where I’m learning a new language.

So here’s my current workaround to this problem:

1. I use the “Share Link” feature in ChatGPT to get the link to a chat

2. Then I organise these in a Notion page.

The cool thing is, if I turn on the browsing feature, I can also refer to these links in a new chat.

🔁 Optimize your prompts

I don't always have the time or creativity to write long and well thought-out prompts. Sometimes, I just want to write short and lazy ones. The problem is that short prompts often don’t generate the best results.

In this case, I use the Prompt Perfect plugin that can be found in the ChatGPT Plugin store. Just turn on the Plugin and type: “perfect [your initial prompt]”. Prompt Perfect then turns your initial prompt into a superior prompt that generates better results.

💯 Summarise your conversation into a prompt

When I've had an iterative back-and-forth conversation with ChatGPT, I like to wrap things up by asking it to summarise all we've talked about into one neat little prompt.

This makes it super easy for me to reuse that prompt later on, basically making it a shortcut for using the same prompt in a new chat. I could also save that prompt in my Text Blaze tool now.

That’s it for today!
