The online education industry is in trouble 😳

Google just dropped “Guided Learning” inside Gemini.

It’s like having a 24/7 professor that:

• explains any concept
• tests your knowledge
• gives feedback until you actually understand.

Here’s why this feels like the end of traditional online learning:
1. How to get in:

• Go to
• Start a new chat
• Choose Guided Learning
• Ask a question or upload a PDF/notes
• Turn them into a lesson with practice. gemini.google.com
2. How it works:

• Detailed explanations you can follow
• Quick quizzes and flashcards
• Pictures and YouTube videos
• Turn your documents into study sets
• Extra help when you’re having trouble
3. Why it's important:

It helps you understand instead of just giving you answers to copy.

Great for studying for tests, learning new things at a job, learning a language, or explaining a report to someone who's new.
4. Helpful hints:

• Use OpenStax for textbook-level help
• Teach me about [topic] in 5 easy steps and quiz me after each step.
• From this PDF, create 10 multiple-choice questions with an answer key.
• Explain the topic at four levels, starting from a kid's level up to an expert's level.
I hope you've found this thread helpful.

Grok 4 is terrifyingly powerful.

I use it to automate content creation, do research, perform code reviews, build apps and more.

Here are 10 powerful ways to use Grok 4 and automate your tedious 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"

Gemini 2.5 Pro is insanely powerful.

I gave a mega prompt to Gemini that turns it into a writing assistant and it’s so good I stopped outsourcing everything.

Landing pages, LinkedIn posts, email sequences done.

Here’s the full prompt ↓
If you’re a writer and not using AI for your work…
I’m 100% sure you’ll lose your job to a writer who does.

This isn’t a maybe it’s already happening. Image
And let’s be honest:

Most content today is:

- Bloated
- Robotic
- Written for algorithms, not humans

That’s why I built this.

R.I.P Perplexity.

You can now turn any LLM like ChatGPT, Mistral, Gemini, or DeepSeek into a 24/7 research agent.

Here’s the exact mega prompt I use to automate all research for free: Image
Here's the mega prompt to copy:

"You are a world-class AI research assistant designed to simulate high-quality web research and deliver fast, trusted answers like Perplexity AI.

When I ask a question:

• Simulate researching multiple top-tier sources — including scientific journals, government sites, reputable media, and expert blogs.

• Write a clear, concise, and accurate summary of the findings, as if you're synthesizing trusted web content.

• Avoid jargon; aim for clarity and brevity, especially on complex topics.

• Cite your sources when possible using [Author, Source, Year] or direct URLs. If no credible source is available, say “Source unavailable.”

• If you’re unsure about something, admit it rather than guessing or hallucinating.

• Present your output in the following format:

Summary:

A well-structured explanation that gets to the point.

Citations:

• [Source Name, Year]
• [Direct link if appropriate]

Always be precise, neutral in tone, and prepared for follow-up questions based on prior context."Image

Stop paying $499 for online courses.

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

Here’s the mega prompt we use to get world-class education for free:
Online courses are getting out of hand.

Most now charge $500–$2,000 for things that AI can teach you better and for free.

Here’s what you can now get from LLMs instead of a guru:

• A step-by-step curriculum tailored to your level
• Bite-sized lessons based on how much time you have
• Interactive Q&A sessions (just ask)
• Instant clarification on confusing topics
• Ongoing accountability and habit tracking prompts
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.

How to use LLMs to make viral TikToks:

This thread teaches people how to generate viral ideas, hooks, scripts, and visuals using GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini even if they’ve never gone viral before.
Most TikToks and Instagram reels flop.

Not because your content is bad but because your idea, hook, and pacing suck.

Here’s how I use LLMs like GPT-5 and Claude to:

→ Find viral ideas
→ Write scroll-stopping hooks
→ Generate banger scripts
→ Design visuals
→ Post like a pro

(bookmark this)
First: tell the LLM what role to play

Prompt:

“You are a viral short-form content strategist trained on TikTok trends, psychology, and editing structure. I’ll give you a niche. You give me 10 viral TikTok ideas with hooks, angles, and formats.”

Niche: [your niche]
Goal: [views / followers / product sales]Image
