If you've ever found yourself staring at a blank chatbot window thinking
0:04
uh, what do I even type here? I promise you're not alone
0:09
Whether you're using ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, or even Perplexity, the key to getting great results isn't just using AI, it's knowing how to prompt it
0:19
So in this video, I'm sharing my go-to best prompts that work across pretty much any AI chatbot
0:25
First up, rewrite this in two tones, one casual, one professional. This is so helpful if you're trying to send a tricky email, write a caption, or even rework
0:35
a resume bullet point. You get instant tone options, and it saves a ton of time guessing what sounds right
0:42
Next, I'll refer to this go-to prompt as smart summarizing. I'll upload a long article and ask the chatbot to summarize this without losing nuance
0:52
and instantly I get a digestible summary of this article. It's perfect for research or meeting notes
0:59
or even entire books. This prompt tells the chatbot hey don dumb it down essentially giving you the big picture without stripping out the important stuff Another prompt I use almost daily helps greatly when I don know where to start
1:13
or learning more about a topic I know little to nothing about is what are the most important
1:18
questions I should be asking about this topic? And your chat bot will surface the smart questions
1:25
you didn't know to ask and will help you refine your search based on what aspect of the given
1:31
topic stands out. Again, this one is gold when you're diving into a new topic and want to become
1:37
knowledgeable about it quickly. Next, try asking, give me the creative ideas related to insert topic
1:44
of your choice. Ever feeling stuck in a creative rut or do you just need some help thinking outside
1:49
of the box? Consider your AI chatbot your on-demand muse. Whether it's gift ideas, blog post headlines
1:56
or ways to decorate a kid's birthday party, this one can spark serious inspiration
2:02
Okay, stick with me here. We're going to go a little deeper. Critical thinking can be a major
2:07
asset in all sorts of situations and I encourage you to try it from time to time with this prompt You ask what are some common assumptions about a given topic And what happens if we challenge them
2:21
If you want to think outside the box or play devil's advocate in a meeting
2:25
this is a prompt you have to try. It helps you see blind spots and rethink what everyone knows
2:33
Now, this might be my favorite AI prompt overall because it's the best way to get something
2:38
I'm sure we can all use a little bit more of in life, clarity
2:43
You'll enter, explain a complex topic like I'm five. Or if you don't wanna enter an age
2:50
just ask for it to be explained in simpler terms. Whether it's how quantum computing works
2:56
or why interest rates are rising, this one turns jargon into plain English
3:01
No fluff, no filler, just the why and how. How can I optimize my approach to a certain task for better efficiency? Listen, we're all really
3:11
busy and we all need time back. This is basically a low-key life coach in prompt form. You'll get
3:17
time tips and process tweaks that actually make a difference This one is definitely both work and home life approved I have another prompt for upping your level of empowerment
3:28
or even just battling some of the anxieties that you're facing with an upcoming project or event
3:35
Share the relevant details and ask the chatbot, what potential blind spots should I be aware of in this plan
3:42
I'd recommend using this before submitting a proposal, making a big decision, or just double-checking your own assumptions
3:49
The AI acts like a second set of eyes. Last but not least, this final prompt is one you can use in pretty much any kind of situation
3:58
It's simple, but it can truly change your day-to-day. Enter whatever it is you have going on—messy notes, random thoughts, sloppy outline��
4:07
and ask, organize the following information into a clear and structured format
4:12
This prompt cleans up your ideas instantly and gives you something you can actually work with
4:18
If you just want to put a bunch of thoughts together and think about the format later
4:22
this is a great prompt for you. So there you go. The best AI prompts that work like magic
