The most valuable ChatGPT prompt that you've never used

Welcome back to The Daily Update. Today I’ll be sharing an underused prompt that will make ChatGPT immeasurably more valuable by tailoring its responses to your exact needs. Let’s get right to it.

Create a new thread with ChatGPT and start your conversation with the prompt below:

I want you to act like [your job position] + background information + request

Here’s an example of this prompt in action with ChatGPT’s response:

This prompt can be tailored to any job position, and ChatGPT is capable of fulfilling virtually any written task. Keep in mind that ChatGPT does not have access to the internet, so it will make up false information if your prompt doesn’t provide sufficient background information.

Using the same thread, you can ask ChatGPT to execute a wide variety of new tasks in the role you have given it. Here are some examples that pertain to the sample above:

“In this role…” +

• Brainstorm content ideas for next week

• Write a social media caption summarizing the information in this article

• Create a 30-second video script summarizing this article

• Write an email to our sponsors/donors thanking them for their support this season

• Rewrite this article as a press release

• Write a 500-word blog post recapping the Hurricanes’ season

• Create an article outline for an end-of-season review

• Create a list of interview questions to ask Carolina’s coaches and players

• Outline an off-season reporting schedule

That’s all for today. Feel free to reply to this email with any questions or thoughts on today’s newsletter. Thanks for reading!
