I’ve been using generative AI for a while now, and I’ve noticed that many people around me aren’t taking full advantage of what it offers. Every day, I discover new ways to use generative AI to boost productivity, expand my knowledge, and save time and effort.

Here are a few unique yet practical ways to use AI:

1. Finding the Right Medicine

When you’re feeling unwell, take photos of all the blister packs of medications you have. Ask ChatGPT to recommend the most suitable one based on your symptoms.

2. Applying the Feynman Technique

After AI explains a concept, try summarizing it in your own words and ask, “Did I get it right?” AI will correct you if needed. This approach makes learning more engaging and improves retention.

3. Converting Images to Text

Despite the abundance of tools online, ChatGPT can handle this task efficiently, saving you a lot of time.

4. Summarizing Content

Use AI to create concise summaries of code, texts, emails, book pages, news articles, or any other content you encounter throughout the day.

5. Creating Courses with the Pareto Principle

The 80/20 rule is an excellent way to master new concepts. Here’s how you can use it:

“I want to learn [insert topic]. Use the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule) to create a course for me.”

6. Movie Recommendations

Ask AI to recommend films based on your preferred genres, actors, languages, etc., without including spoilers or reviews.

7. Web Search Assistance

Instead of relying on Google, use ChatGPT to search the web. It can bypass SEO-optimized articles and quickly deliver relevant information.

8. Evaluating Your Work

Request ChatGPT to assess something for you. Here’s a prompt you can use:

“Evaluate the [article] above in various aspects and suggest how I can improve it in those areas.”

I use this to review my code, articles, understanding of concepts, and more.

9. Keep It Brief

Add this to your prompt:

This ensures more effective answers.
