7 Life-Changing Uses of AI I Wish I Knew Earlier

About this video

David argues that using AI only to write emails wastes its potential, and walks through seven uses. First, turn ChatGPT into a board of directors by assigning heroes or role models with areas of expertise and presenting a dilemma, requesting formats like pros and cons; if replies sound shallow, build a source-grounded model in NotebookLM from, for example, selected Alex Hormozi videos, yielding cited answers across 10 plus hours of content. Second, after a breakup, prompt ChatGPT to act as a therapist starting with one question, then say ‘stop giving me sympathy and be honest’ for candor, while noting it is not a replacement for therapy. Third, enter goals and timeframes and ask for a story of a day in your dream life as your future self, then print it somewhere visible. A sponsor segment covers QuickBooks Online auto-tracking income and expenses after connecting bank and card accounts, with AI agents for invoicing and lead tracking starting July 2025. Fourth, document meetings with Fathom for Zoom or Google Meet recordings, transcripts, summaries and Ask Fathom, and Plod for in-person recording. Fifth, build apps without code: ChatGPT code leaves a single hard-to-deploy file, while Lovable built the demo template gallery in about two minutes and fixed a bug on request. Sixth, practice interviews in Google Gemini by uploading a job description, such as for a TikTok product manager, and using live mode for role-specific questions and critique. Seventh, he claims ChatGPT helped him dispute a $150 checkup charge by identifying a billing mismatch and assisting in real time with the doctor’s office and insurer until the office dropped the charge.

Key takeaways

• Prompt ChatGPT as a board of directors of named role models, and ground it in NotebookLM sources when generic advice sounds shallow.
• Use a therapist-style prompt starting with one question for processing, with an explicit honesty prompt when comfort is not enough, without treating it as therapy.
• Ask for a vivid future-self dream-day story from your goals and timeframe, then print it where you will see it daily.
• Record meetings with Fathom online and Plod in person so transcripts, summaries, and action items become searchable.
• Use Lovable rather than raw ChatGPT code to deploy no-code app ideas, Gemini live mode for job-specific mock interviews, and ChatGPT to help dispute billing errors.
