How to Get Ahead of 99% of People (with AI)

About this video

Martell presents seven ChatGPT methods built around context and reuse. First, create a master prompt: have ChatGPT interview you by voice about your role, company, team, values, and constraints, then save the result as a PDF to upload in future chats. Second, create system prompts by iterating on an output in a canvas until it is right, then asking ChatGPT to write the prompt that would have produced it from the start; he illustrates this with a book-architect prompt. Third, use Projects as persistent folders holding the master prompt, documents, and decisions for one area of life or work. Fourth, use Canvas as an editable document beside the chat so refinements change only what you intend. Fifth, set custom instructions for your default voice, brevity, and formatting. Sixth, turn proven system prompts into custom GPTs your team or clients can reuse. He closes by recommending a daily habit stack that adds a few minutes of AI practice to an existing routine.

Key takeaways

• Build a master prompt by letting ChatGPT interview you; save and reuse it as a PDF
• Iterate an output to perfection, then ask for the system prompt that would have created it
• Keep context in Projects and edit outputs in Canvas instead of rewriting from scratch
• Set custom instructions once for voice and formatting defaults
• Save repeatable system prompts as custom GPTs; build the skill with a daily habit stack
