1 / Think step by step

This works for your prompt, and also for learning AI

Hey friend!

I’m thrilled to be writing the first newsletter for “Bear with AI,” a project that began as a simple folder on my computer last year and has now blossomed into a full-fledged website and newsletter.

You may have already stumbled upon a post on Bearwith.ai website where I shared my motivations and perspectives on learning about AI. Here’s one more thought: throughout history, groundbreaking technological shifts have often been driven by a select few before becoming mainstream. Similarly, while fully understanding AI’s underlying theories and functionalities can be daunting, requiring extensive expertise, I believe AI is a transformative tool that empowers us to accomplish tasks previously limited by time, effort, and resources.

By applying AI in practical use cases, we can begin to reap its benefits. This journey of adoption and application is a step-by-step process, much like learning anything new. And, it also gets us to a prompt tip →

🤖 Today’s Tip: When using any language model, adding “think step by step” to your prompt. The result would be much better than before. Give it a try—I’m eager to hear how it works for you!

Note: if you are a Chinese speaker, please select the language you preferred below. I’ll send the Chinese version soon 🙂

Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey.

Warm regards,

Your friend, Bear (the design + AI guy)

The 5 cool things I want to share this week:

  • How I'd Learn AI in 2024?

  • Transform Videos into Blogs with ChatGPT

  • Master AI Voice Generation with 11 Labs

  • Remove Image Backgrounds with 2 Free Tools!

  • Summarise anything with AI Ghost Reader in Readwise Reader

Bear’s take: Depending on your specific situation, choosing a code/no-code path will probably be the biggest decision for your AI journey. Personally, I suggest starting small and getting some quick wins to keep the momentum. It works for me.

Use case: Learn AI, AI for work, AI for productivity, AI for content creation

Bear’s take: Unlock the potential of your video and podcast content! In this quick guide, I demonstrate how to transform multimedia into engaging blog articles.

Use Case: Narrating a book, newsletter, or article; voice cloning for recording when you don’t feel like recording; dubbing audio content.

Bear’s take: If you haven’t tried 11 Labs, this video is a great starting point. I found the feature to change the tone by describing the feeling particularly useful, and it’s fascinating to see how different settings can drastically alter the output. For example, narrating a book or article can be easily achieved with this tool, and the ability to clone your voice means you can produce content even when you don’t feel like recording.

Use case: Learn AI, AI for creativity, AI for content creation

Bear’s take: In this video, I demonstrate how to easily remove the background from your images using two free tools: ScanThing and Background Erase.

Bear’s take: With just one click, I can get the essence of any videos, newsletters, or articles in my native language.

That’s it! See you next week!
