How to Use ChatGPT

About this video

Kevin’s comprehensive ChatGPT tutorial starts with the core lesson that output quality follows prompt quality: a vague request for a marketing email produces generic copy, while adding audience, product, tone, discount, and length details produces tailored results. He tours the main features in turn: Canvas as a side-by-side editable document with tracked changes and version undo, multimodal uploads for analyzing images, documents, and spreadsheets, web Search for current information beyond the training cutoff with cited sources, and Reasoning models that show their thinking on multi-step problems. He also covers generating images, organizing chats, setting custom instructions so ChatGPT remembers who you are and how you work, exploring specialized custom GPTs, turning off training data use in Data Controls, and premium extras including newer models, Sora video, and Projects for grouping chats, files, and instructions, ending with a warning to verify outputs.

Key takeaways

• Detailed prompts with context and constraints produce far better outputs
• Canvas lets you edit long text or code beside the chat with change tracking
• Use Search for current facts and Reasoning models for multi-step analysis
• Set custom instructions once so every chat starts with your context
• Turn off model training in Data Controls if you do not want your data used
