R.I.P paid courses...

You can use any LLM like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to build a custom course on any topic or subject.

Here’s the mega prompt that we use to get world-class education for free:

Here’s the exact mega prompt we use:

"You are now my personal AI tutor.

I want you to create a complete, personalized learning course for me based on the topic I give you.

Here’s what I need you to build:

1. A custom curriculum with 4–6 modules that progress logically.
2. Each module should include bite-sized lessons, simplified explanations, and real-world examples.
3. Add checkpoints: quizzes, reflection prompts, or short exercises to test what I’ve learned.
4. Include reading lists, relevant tools/resources, and optional challenges for deeper learning.
5. Adapt the depth and speed of the course to match the time I tell you I have per day and my current knowledge level.
6. Stay friendly, clear, and focused like a world-class coach.

Here’s what I want to learn: [PASTE YOUR TOPIC HERE]
Here’s how much time I can spend per day: [XX minutes per day]
Here’s my current experience level: [beginner / intermediate / advanced]

Once you’re ready, break down the course and guide me step by step — starting with Module 1.
"

The next generation of learners won’t be course buyers.

They’ll be course generators.

This is how you start:

Paste the prompt.
Share your goal + time.
Get your custom curriculum.
Start learning instantly.

No logins. No paywalls. Just progress.

We tested this on 10+ real-world topics:

• Learning Python from scratch
• Mastering storytelling for business
• Understanding macroeconomics
• Studying the history of AI
• Building a daily meditation habit
• Deep-diving into healthspan science
• Learning how to launch a SaaS MVP
• Becoming fluent in mental models

To get best results from ChatGPT... use o3 model or 4o.

And on Gemini use 2.5 Pro model..

(Gemini is the best tutor...of course, after your English teacher... I like it)

For Claude, I suggest you use Claude 4 Sonnet. Opus is not made for this type of tasks.

The outputs were 🔥

Each LLM gave us:

- A full learning journey (modules, lessons, checkpoints)
- Estimated timelines per section
- Active recall questions to retain knowledge
- Reading lists, tools, and next steps
- Even motivational check-ins to keep going

Online course platforms don’t want you to know this.

You don’t need upsells.
You don’t need modules locked behind a $997 price tag.
You don’t need to wait 6 weeks to get the same info AI gives in 30 seconds.

You just need a better prompt.

Holy sh*t… Claude just became an app store.

Anthropic dropped a feature where you can build and run AI apps directly inside Claude.

No code, no infra, no deploys.

Wild examples + how to try:

Claude can now generate interactive artifacts—apps that talk to Claude through an internal API.

These aren’t demos.
They’re real, usable AI apps.
Fully hosted. Sharable via link.

And they scale for free.

Here’s the kicker:

When someone uses your app, they pay with their Claude subscription.
You pay nothing.

No tokens, no invoices, no surprises.

So what can you build?

✅ AI games with dynamic NPCs
✅ Adaptive learning tools
✅ CSV-to-answers data explorers
✅ Longform writing copilots
✅ Multi-step AI agents

And more powered by real Claude calls under the hood.

Developers are already building:

• Story-driven RPGs with memory
• Math tutors that adjust to your level
• React apps that summarize PDFs
• Coding agents that debug themselves

All using natural language + Claude’s coding help.

Claude 4 Sonnet is insanely powerful.

But most people are using it like a basic chatbot.

I've used it to generate content, automate deep research, build apps, and more.

Here are 10 real ways to unlock its power (most people have no idea #7 exists):

1. Automated Research Reports (better than $100k consultants)

Claude’s web search + analysis mode lets you do what McKinsey, Gartner, and Deloitte charge six figures for.

You’ll get structured breakdowns, insights, and data points like a private analyst on demand.

Prompt to use:

"You are a world-class strategy consultant trained by McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. Act as if you were hired to provide a $300,000 strategic analysis for a client in the [INDUSTRY] sector.

Here is your mission:

1. Analyze the current state of the [INDUSTRY] market.
2. Identify key trends, emerging threats, and disruptive innovations.
3. Map out the top 3-5 competitors and benchmark their business models, strengths, weaknesses, pricing, distribution, and brand positioning.
4. Use frameworks like SWOT, Porter’s Five Forces, and strategic value chain analysis to assess risks and opportunities.
5. Provide a one-page strategic brief with actionable insights and recommendations for a hypothetical company entering or growing in this space.

Output everything in concise bullet points or tables. Make it structured and ready to paste into slides. Think like a McKinsey partner preparing for a C-suite meeting.

Industry: [INSERT INDUSTRY OR MARKET HERE]"

RIP Gartner...

Now you don’t need expensive analyst subscriptions anymore.

You can generate full industry reports using any LLM ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Qwen3 and public data.

Here’s the prompt that turns any LLM into a full-stack market research analyst for free:

First, let’s see what Gartner actually does well:

1. Structured industry forecasts
2. Competitive landscape mapping (e.g., Magic Quadrants)
3. Strategic insights for enterprise buyers
4. Vendor comparisons with pros/cons
5. Trend analysis backed by years of data

These are valuable but not impossible to replicate.

Here's the mega prompt that turn any LLM in to Gartner:

"You are a world-class industry analyst with expertise in market research, competitive intelligence, and strategic forecasting.

Your goal is to simulate a Gartner-style report using public data, historical trends, and logical estimation.

For each request:

• Generate clear, structured insights based on known market signals.
• Build data-backed forecasts using assumptions (state them).
• Identify top vendors and categorize them by niche, scale, or innovation.
• Highlight risks, emerging players, and future trends.

Be analytical, not vague. Use charts/tables, markdown, and other formats for generation where helpful.

Be explicit about what’s estimated vs known.

Use this structure:

1. Market Overview
2. Key Players
3. Forecast (1–3 years)
4. Opportunities & Risks
5. Strategic Insights"

It’s wild: less than 0.01% know how to properly use o1, o3, Gemini 2.5, or Claude Sonnet 4.

These are the most powerful AIs on the planet.

That's why we created this cheatsheet to help you.

Here's everything you need to master prompt writing 👇

First, assign the model a thinking role.

This changes how it “shows up” mentally.

Examples:

- Strategy Consultant
- Logical Analyst
- Detective
- Policy Evaluator
- Research Synthesizer

The more specific the role, the sharper the output.

Next, give it a reasoning task.

This tells the model what kind of thinking to perform.

Try these:

- Tradeoff Analysis
- Root Cause Breakdown
- Ethical Scenario Assessment
- Heuristic Decision Tree
- Socratic Dialogue

Be explicit.

A new study just exposed a hidden truth about LLMs:

Your LLM is a black box.

You don’t understand how it works and neither do its creators.

Here’s what they found ↓

Everyone talks about "understanding AI."

But here’s the truth:

You can’t open the black box.

You can only work around it.

Even the engineers can’t explain why a model gave you that output.

The paper argues:

Stop obsessing over what AI is.
Start asking what AI does.

Because most AI systems are judged not by logic, but by how much we trust their output.

DeepSeek is the most powerful AI tool right now.

But 99% of people are using it wrong.

Here are 10 prompts to unlock its full potential:

1/ Master Any Skill Faster:

"Act as a [skill] mentor and create a 30-day learning roadmap. Include beginner, intermediate, and advanced steps with daily exercises and resources."

2/ Turn DeepSeek into a Business Consultant:

"Analyze the strengths & weaknesses of my [business type]. Provide 3 unique growth strategies based on industry trends, customer psychology & AI-powered tools."
