Gemini 2.5 Pro's capabilities are genuinely scary.

I watched it build a full-stack app, conduct PhD-level research, and generate content simultaneously.

Here are 5 ways to use Gemini 2.5 Pro that feel like cheating:
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?”
3. Building Apps and MVPs

I can’t code but I can ship MVPs.
I’ve built tools, dashboards, and SaaS pages with Gemini.
It’s my cofounder now.

Prompt to build apps fast:

"You are now my no-code CTO and MVP hacker.

Build like Pieter Levels, Ben Tossell, and Arvid Kahl.

I’ll give you startup/product ideas. You will:

Build using tools like Glide, Bubble, Softr, Zapier

Break it down step-by-step: logic, database, UI

Prioritize fast launches, lean builds, and real feedback

Ask yourself: “How would Pieter launch this by tomorrow?”

No fluff. Just builds. Just results."
4. Research + Idea Validation

Not sure if your idea is worth building?

Let Gemini test it for you.

Here’s the prompt I use to validate new ideas in under 5 minutes:

"You are now my AI startup validator and market researcher.

Think like Sam Altman (Y Combinator), Lenny Rachitsky, and Sarah Tavel.

For every idea I give, do this:

Analyze market size, urgency, and competition

Identify audience pain points

Score monetization potential

Give a 1–10 rating with brutal honesty

Use frameworks like “pickaxe ideas,” “painkiller vs vitamin,” and “monopoly of 1.”

Always ask: “Would a top investor bet on this?”
5. Sales Page + Offer Builder

Most people sell their products wrong.
Gemini helps me design offers people actually want.

Better copy = more sales.

My sales + offer design prompt:

"You are now a conversion copywriter and offer strategist.

Think like Alex Hormozi meets David Ogilvy meets Joanna Wiebe.

Your tasks:

Write sales pages using AIDA and PAS frameworks

Create irresistible offers with value stacking

Use urgency, FAQs, objection handling, and proof

Make every word sell no fluff

Ask yourself: “Would this headline stop a scroll? Would Hormozi say this offer is ‘so good it hurts to say no’?”
P.S.

I built something you don't want to miss out...

Here it is:

We built ClipYard for ruthless performance marketers.

→ Better ROAS
→ 10x faster content ops
→ No human error
→ Full creative control

You’ve never seen AI avatars like this before → clipyard.ai

If you want to build AI agents using n8n, do this:

Just copy/paste this prompt into ChatGPT.

It’ll build your agent from scratch workflows, steps, and logic included.

Here’s the exact prompt I use 👇
The system:

1. I open ChatGPT
2. Paste in 1 mega prompt
3. Describe what I want the agent to do
4. GPT returns:

• Architecture
• n8n nodes
• Triggers
• LLM integration
• Error handling
• Code snippets

5. I follow the steps in n8n.

Done.
Here’s the actual mega prompt (steal it):


You are a senior automation architect and expert in building complex AI-powered agents inside n8n. You deeply understand workflows, triggers, external APIs, GPT integrations, custom JavaScript functions, and error handling.



Guide me step-by-step to build an AI-powered agent in n8n. The agent’s purpose is: {$AGENT_PURPOSE}



1. Start by helping me scope the agent’s goals and required inputs/outputs.
2. Design the high-level architecture of the agent workflow.
3. Recommend the necessary n8n nodes (built-in, HTTP, function, OpenAI, etc).
4. For each node, explain its configuration and purpose.
5. Provide guidance for any custom code (JavaScript functions, expressions, etc).
6. Help me set up retry logic, error handling, and fallback steps.
7. Show me how to store and reuse data across executions (e.g. with Memory, Databases, or Google Sheets).
8. If the agent needs external APIs or tools, walk me through connecting and authenticating them.



Be extremely clear and hands-on, like you're mentoring a junior automation engineer. Provide visual explanations where possible (e.g. bullet points, flow-like formatting), and always give copy-paste-ready node settings or code snippets.



End by suggesting ways to make the agent more powerful, like chaining workflows, adding webhooks, or connecting to vector databases, CRMs, or Slack.

I'm officially declaring cold email dead.

LinkedIn DMs? Also dead.

B2B agencies now close $50K deals at 3 AM using AI funnels.

Here's the autopilot sales system that killed manual outreach ↓
Step 1: AI-powered prospecting

Instead of scraping random lists, agencies are using AI to:

• Identify ICPs across multiple platforms
• Enrich profiles with context (budget, pain points, tech stack)
• Prioritize leads that actually buy

No more spray-and-pray. Image
Tools to explore: Clay (prospecting + enrichment), Apollo (B2B database + outreach), Clearbit (firmographic enrichment).

Everyone's using Grok wrong for marketing.

They treat it like ChatGPT when it's actually a marketing automation beast.

Here are 15 ways to unlock its hidden superpowers (with exact prompts) ↓
1. Content Ideation

Prompt:

"You’re a marketing strategist. Given {brand_name} and {target_audience}, generate 5 innovative content themes for {topic_niche}. Provide each as a headline plus a 1-sentence angle. Replace placeholders with your own brand & niche before running."
2. Audience Research

Prompt:

"Act as a market analyst. Using {customer_data_summary}, identify 3 key audience segments, their top 2 pain points each, and suggest 2 messaging angles per segment. Output as JSON with “segment”, “pain_points” and “angles” fields."

Bad prompts = bad results.
Good prompts = good results.
Great prompts = life-changing results.

These 4 frameworks create great prompts every time.

Your AI breakthrough starts here (Steal the frameworks):
Today, most people prompt like this:

“Write me a marketing plan for my product.”

And then they wonder why the result feels vague, boring, and unusable.

The problem isn’t AI.

It’s your approach.
AI is like an engine.

Your prompt is the steering wheel.

But without a framework, you’re just spinning it randomly.

Frameworks turn prompting into a repeatable system.

Let’s break down 4 of the best: 👇

Claude 4 Sonnet is one of the smartest AI models on the planet.

But most people are stuck asking it surface-level questions.

Now I use it to create content, automate workflows, and even build apps.

Here are 10 real examples you can copy: 👇
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]"
