I’m a tech expert: 10 AI prompts you’ll use all the time

AI has become a ubiquitous presence in our daily lives, from ChatGPT and DeepSeek dominating headlines to Google providing AI results at the top of every search. With smarter options in the apps and services we use, it’s clear that AI is here to stay. To help you navigate this AI-driven world, I’m offering my latest ebook, “50 Smart Ways to Use AI” for free.

Many people are overwhelmed by the prospect of using AI and don’t know where to start. That’s where I come in. Let’s take a look at some key things you need to know and prompts to help you get started.

To begin, familiarize yourself with some of the top AI tools available. ChatGPT is a highly recommended option, allowing you to generate ideas, break down tasks, clean up your writing, and more. Perplexity is great for research and learning, while DeepSeek, a newcomer from China, outperforms other AI models. Google NotebookLM is another useful tool for uploading and searching various files.

When using AI chatbots, it’s important to understand how they work. Providing clear prompts, or “priming,” is essential for getting the best results. By giving specific instructions and using phrases like “do” and “don’t,” you can guide the chatbot to provide the information you need.

Here are 10 AI prompts to try:
– “How can I make this better?”
– “You’re an English professor. Find any typos or grammatical errors in my blog post.”
– “Explain this like I’m 10.”
– “Remember that…”
– “Analyze this information. Explain any trends or insights you find.”
– “What is missing?”
– “Who are their competitors?”
– “Give me five creative ideas for…”
– “Summarize this in three sentences.”
– “Explain both sides of this argument.”

It’s important to remember that AI is a tool to assist you, not a replacement for critical thinking. While AI can help streamline tasks and provide valuable insights, it can also make mistakes or provide outdated information. Always double-check important details, especially in areas like work, finances, or legal matters.

In conclusion, AI is a valuable resource that can enhance your productivity and learning experiences. By utilizing AI tools effectively and understanding their limitations, you can make the most of this technology in your daily life. So, embrace the power of AI and let it help you navigate the digital landscape with confidence.
