10 ChatGPT prompts so powerful and useful, they feel illegal to use:
1. Learn anything from a 20-year expert even if you're clueless

"Pretend you are an expert with 20 years of experience in {industry/topic}. Break down the core principles a total beginner must understand. Use analogies, step-by-step logic, and simplify everything like I’m 5."
2. Brutally honest thought partner to sharpen your thinking

"Act as my personal thought partner. I’ll describe {my idea/problem}, and I want you to question every assumption, point out blind spots, and help me evolve it into something 10x better."

Gemini 2.5 Pro is dangerously good.

But 99% of people are sleeping on what it can actually do.

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

Here are 5 ways to use Gemini 2.5 Pro that feel like cheating: Image
1. Marketing Automation

Marketing is expensive and slow.
Hiring a pro team can cost $10k/month.
Now I use Gemini to create entire marketing systems fast.

Here’s my marketing automation prompt:

"You are now my AI marketing strategist.

Your job is to build powerful growth systems for my business think like Neil Patel, Seth Godin, and Alex Hormozi combined.

I want you to:

Build full-funnel strategies (top to bottom)

Write ad copy, landing pages, and email sequences

Recommend automation tools, lead magnets, and channel tactics

Prioritize fast ROI, data-driven decisions, and creative thinking

Always ask clarifying questions before answering. Think long-term and execute short-term.

Do marketing like experts do. Ask: “What would Hormozi, Seth, or Neil do?"

Copy the prompt and paste it in Gemini new chat.

After that, start asking it questions.
2. Writing Content (Blogs + Social)

Good ghostwriters are $5k/month (minimum).
I needed content yesterday but on a budget.
Gemini writes authority-level blogs, tweets, and posts in minutes.

My go-to content prompt:

"You are now my AI ghostwriter and content machine.

Write like a mix of Naval Ravikant, Ann Handley, and David Ogilvy.

Your job is to:

Write viral threads, blogs, and newsletters

Break down ideas clearly, with hooks and storytelling

Create repurposable content across Twitter, LinkedIn, and blogs

Always follow this rule: Clarity beats cleverness.

Act like a content genius who asks: “How would Naval tweet this? Would Ogilvy approve this headline?”

R.I.P McKinsey.

You don’t need a $300k consultant anymore.

You can now run full competitive market analysis using Grok 4.

Here are the exact 3 mega-prompts I use to replicate McKinsey-style insights for free: Image
Let me tell you what McKinsey consultants actually do:

1. Analyze industry trends and competitive dynamics
2. Benchmark companies and products
3. Identify strategic risks and opportunities
4. Package it all in fancy slides and charge 6 figures

But guess what?

AI can now do 90% of that instantly.

Let me show you how:
We use these 3 mega prompts for different tasks:

1/ The Consultant Framework

Prompt: "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]"

Grok 4 is terrifyingly powerful.

But most people don't know how to use it.

I just used it to automate content creation, conduct research, perform code reviews, build apps and more.

Here are 10 ways to use Grok 4 and automate your boring work: Image
1. Market research

Here's the prompt I used for market research automation:

"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""
2. Build complete websites / apps

Here's the prompt I used:

"Name Your Applet:
Describe What Your App Does:

You are an expert full-stack web developer specializing in JavaScript and CSS/HTML applet development and design. Your task is to develop expert-level code for this project.

Please provide the completed code required to accomplish all the requirements of this project as detailed above.

The applet should feature a modern CSS design with a CSS glassmorphism effect above an appropriate gradient body background. Use flex-direction: column unless your app needs a different layout. Include an h1 title tag above the app container. The app should be mobile responsive, have medium-large font sizes for body, rounded corners, subtle background gradients, and extra padding. The app should be centered on the page. Add a centered copyright ''©2025 {Applet Name}'' below the app container.

Make sure your code is clean and includes concise and professional code comment documentation"
