ChatGPT is a superpower, if used correctly.

Here are the 10 prompts that got me featured on Forbes (a thread):

1. Simplify complex information

“Prompt: Break down (topic you’d like to understand) into smaller, easier-to-understand parts. Use analogies and real-life examples to simplify the concept and make it more relatable.”
2. Create a study schedule

“Prompt: I need help organizing my study time for (subject). Can you create a study schedule for me, including breaks and practice exercises?”
3. Memorize key information

“Prompt: What are the most important facts, dates, or formulas related to (topic)? Help me create a memorization technique to remember them easily.”
4. Ask for feedback

“Prompt: I've been studying (topic) on my own. Can you review my work and give me feedback on areas I need to improve?”
5. Apply your knowledge

“Prompt: Use your knowledge of (topic you’re interested in) to solve a real-world problem. Explain your thought process and share your solution.”
6. Compare and contrast

“Prompt: Compare and contrast (concept 1) and (concept 2) to better understand their similarities and differences. Use examples to illustrate your points.”
7. Learn from mistakes

“Prompt: I made a mistake while practicing (skill). Can you explain what went wrong and how I can avoid making the same mistake in the future?”
8. Connect with others

“Prompt: Connect me with a community of learners and experts in (topic). How can I join a forum, social media group or other online community to share my knowledge and learn from others?”
9. Summarize complex texts

“Prompt: I need to read a complicated article related to (topic). Can you help me summarize the key points and takeaways from the text?”
10. Stay updated

“Prompt: Help me stay updated on the latest developments and trends in (topic). What are some trustworthy resources I can follow to stay informed?”
To be honest, this article was in May and is a bit outdated now.

Perplexity Comet is not like other agents

I’ve been testing it all week, and it’s starting to actually *stick*

Having in-page data context and plugging it directly into tabs makes it so much easier to add to my workflow

An honest review with a few use cases (and caveats):
First, the caveats:

- It's still early, and struggles with longer workflows
- Most data is retained by Perplexity (privacy concern)
- Only available to Max users ($200/mo) or free with an invitation code (we just dropped 500 codes in The Rundown University)
USE CASE 1: Email and Calendar management

With the Google Cal and Gmail integrations, it can summarize emails, schedule meetings, and manager calendar events directly from the browser

It's weird that Google hasn't done this yet
