- Use memory so it remembers your style and needs
Use Voice Mode
- Talk to ChatGPT like a conversation
- Helpful for brainstorming ideas quickly
Example prompt:

Custom GPT Tools
Inside ChatGPT you can access specialized mini-apps (Custom GPTs).
Examples:

Example workflow:

Perplexity is useful for evidence-based fitness content.
Example search:
Creatine research for menopausal women
It will:

You can create educational content backed by research.
Repurposing Videos with AI
Opus Clip

A 45-minute video can become dozens of short clips for social media.
This allows you to create large amounts of content from a single video.
