2 / If something happens twice, optimize the flow!

Hello my friend! 👋

A while ago, I learned a great tip from a developer I worked with: if any task needs to be done more than once, find a way to automate it. It's a brilliant idea, though sometimes you need to balance the time spent figuring out the automation.

I'm not a developer, but I still apply this principle. For instance, I use keyboard shortcuts on iOS to save time when typing addresses, phone numbers, or other repetitive info.

Now, I also use ChatGPT in a similar way with the personalized GPT feature. I used to create prompts for specific tasks, like translating messages with my tone, and handle similar tasks in one conversation.

But recently, I discovered I can create my own GPTs to handle these tasks more efficiently. For example, I have a "TitleGPT" that helps me come up with titles from my input. I just type my message, and TitleGPT generates 2-3 fitting titles.

It's like having a bunch of assistants on hand.

Are there any tasks at work or in your life that you do repeatedly and could be optimized like this?

How to Build an AI-Driven YouTube Strategy in Just 10 Minutes

Use case: Learn AI, AI for work, AI for marketing

Bear’s take: From analyzing video performance to strategizing content types and scheduling, this video covers the essential steps to enhance your channel's impact and reach. Perfect for content creators looking to leverage AI for content strategy.

Communicate Better with an AI Assistant: Here's How You Can Build One

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

Bear’s take: From emails to Slack messages, writing is at the core of our communication. But what if I told you that you can create your own AI assistant to help with this crucial task?

Top 10 Prompts in Adobe Firefly - Ai Generated Effects for Logo & Text

Use Case: Enhancing logos and text with visually stunning AI-generated effects for personal and professional use.

Bear’s take: The one takeaway tip that I’ve learned from this video is to add “isolated from white background” in your prompt. This is really helpful for the further image editing.

With AI, Anyone Can Be a Coder Now | Thomas Dohmke | TED

Use Case: AI copilots enabling natural language coding, making software development accessible to non-developers.

Bear’s take: The key learning from this video is that AI copilots empower almost everyone who can speak a natural language to code, which is incredible. In five to ten years, we could see one billion developers, meaning we need to start learning now. The demo by GitHub’s CEO was amazing: he prompted the AI, it created an execution plan, and upon approval, it generated functional code, reducing the workload for engineers and product managers alike.

Create a GPT-4 Omni Chatbot for Your Business Without Coding

Use Case: Creating a customer support chatbot for small businesses (e.g., Airbnb owners) using AI, without requiring any coding skills.

Bear’s take: If you're looking to use AI to create a customer support assistant, this video is particularly useful, especially the first part, which doesn’t involve any coding. By using tools like Chatbase, you can set up a chatbot quickly and easily. This can be a game-changer for small business owners, such as Airbnb hosts, who need efficient and responsive customer service solutions without the need for technical skills.

Have a great one and see you soon!

Love from Bear, your design + AI friend 😎
