Speaker 2: This is my game on how I personally interact with
Speaker 2: like a chat GBT or like a Gemini or like
Speaker 2: a claud Now I'm coming from this angle of like
Speaker 2: somebody who knows how these systems work on a technical level.
Speaker 2: So I created a framework for how to write your
Speaker 2: prompts to be able to get the most out of
Speaker 2: the AI interaction, but in a way where it's not
Speaker 2: just spitting out an answer at to but where it's
Speaker 2: taking your genius and your thoughts and helping you structure
Speaker 2: them and also teaching you along the way, So think
Speaker 2: about it like this, if I could talk to let's
Speaker 2: say I have a business plan idea, right, the way Chat,
Speaker 2: GPT is by default, or any of these large language
Speaker 2: models is by default is they've got all these data.
Speaker 3: From all over the Internet.
Speaker 2: And so when you ask it, hey, I want to
Speaker 2: create like an app for babysitters that connects parents with
Speaker 2: like background checked babysitters on demand.
Speaker 3: Right, come write my business plan.
Speaker 2: It's gonna grab from the randomness of all of that
Speaker 2: to give you an answer. Now, why would I want
Speaker 2: to talk to some random person who I don't know
Speaker 2: the experience and a background that they have, Versus I
Speaker 2: could turn it into like a business professor at Harvard
Speaker 2: that has like extensive experience creating these types of services,
Speaker 2: like maybe you were the dude who scaled like DoorDash
Speaker 2: to its first billion dollars, right, and then engage with
Speaker 2: it in a way where it starts to ask me
Speaker 2: questions about my idea and then starts to give me
Speaker 2: an answer based on my idea, not just based on
Speaker 2: whatever it grabbed out of all those terabytes and terabytes
Speaker 2: of data, you feel me, And so that framework I
Speaker 2: call chat in the hat, right, and I know it's
Speaker 2: a little funny framework, but it's really to help you
Speaker 2: learn how to think like an AI, so you can
Speaker 2: talk to the AI in a way to amplifize your genius.
Speaker 2: So what does chat and the hat stand for. It's
Speaker 2: a three part framework when you're riding your.
Speaker 4: And this is extremely important ladies and gentlemen. If you
Speaker 4: didn't pay attention to anything else, which shame on you
Speaker 4: if you did that, pay attention to this part because
Speaker 4: this is extremely point. How to actually talk to AI
Speaker 4: to get the proper response. That's that's vitally important because
Speaker 4: you could speak to somebody and it's like a human being,
Speaker 4: right like I could speak to somebody. You have to
Speaker 4: be educated enough to ask the question. So how I'm
Speaker 4: asking the question is going to determine the answer that
Speaker 4: I'm getting. That's not talked about enough. So what she's
Speaker 4: about to talk about is actually vitally important.
Speaker 2: Especially because when you're talking to a large language model
Speaker 2: like I mentioned before, it doesn't actually understand what you're saying,
Speaker 2: so it's not going to.
Speaker 3: Get the gist of it right.
Speaker 2: You have to give it the specific instructions that you
Speaker 2: wanted to execute. And the more specific and the more
Speaker 2: clear you give it, the more it'll answer in the
Speaker 2: way that you need it to. But again, it's just
Speaker 2: taking whatever prompt you give it and calculating based on that.
Speaker 2: So if you say, write me a business plan about
Speaker 2: an app for you know, connecting background check babysitters with parents,
Speaker 2: it's going to write something. But if I give it
Speaker 2: first the history right, and then I give it an
Speaker 2: attitude how I want it to complete that task, and
Speaker 2: then I give it a specific instructions on how to
Speaker 2: complete that task, the conversation is going to be completely different.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna do real quikest breakdown each component of this,
Speaker 2: and in real time live on the chat we're gonna
Speaker 2: make up an idea together, and I'm gonna show you,
Speaker 2: guys the difference between using just a regular prompt versus
Speaker 2: the chat and the hat framework.
Speaker 3: You feel me. So, first, what is history? History is?
Speaker 2: You want to tell it the relevant skills and experience
Speaker 2: that it needs to have to be able to help
Speaker 2: you accomplish that task.
Speaker 3: So if I have an.
Speaker 2: Idea for a app me just talking to chat GPT,
Speaker 2: I don't know who it could be pulling from versus
Speaker 2: giving it like Yo, you're an award winning person in
Speaker 2: this field who has this specific experience in twenty years
Speaker 2: of that experience, Right, you want to give it some
Speaker 2: type of history that it can refer to to pull
Speaker 2: in that knowledge from all of those terabytes of data
Speaker 2: to specifically be using the knowledge.
Speaker 3: That you need to complete your task.
Speaker 2: So, if it's a like a social media thing, right,
Speaker 2: you don't just want to go ask CHADGBT about how
Speaker 2: to make a viral social campaign.
Speaker 3: You want Chad.
Speaker 2: GBT to like be an expert at generating viral campaigns,
Speaker 2: like you made a company similar to mine, have fifty
Speaker 2: million views on TikTok with your funny short videos.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Then it kind of puts itself in that framing and
Speaker 2: starts to think from that lens. Then you want to
Speaker 2: give it an attitude, which is like what is the
Speaker 2: mentality or the vibe that it has while doing the task?
Speaker 3: Is it helpful? Is it you know, playing Devil's advocate?
Speaker 3: Is it you know?
Speaker 2: Does it like to ask you questions and teach you
Speaker 2: how to do it instead of just giving you an answer? Right,
Speaker 2: So you want to give it like the attitude like
Speaker 2: how and what the vibe is that it uses when
Speaker 2: it's thinking about how to do your task. Then you
Speaker 2: want to give it the actual task, which is you
Speaker 2: need to specifically tell it what it should do and
Speaker 2: how it should do it. So it's deep dive into
Speaker 2: each one of these a little bit more so first
Speaker 2: with the hit again, you want to give it that
Speaker 2: relevant knowledge, experience, and accomplishments that a person would need
Speaker 2: to actually be useful to you in.
Speaker 3: Completing that task.
Speaker 2: So you say something like you are a you know,
Speaker 2: award winning business plan developer, right, Like you're a professor
Speaker 2: at Harvard, Wharton and Stanford in creating startup business plans.
Speaker 2: Now CHAGBT does know what these kinds of institutions are,
Speaker 2: and it's not gonna know that, Like you can't be
Speaker 2: the chair of business at Harvard, Stanford and at like
Speaker 2: Wharton and you see Berkeley all at once.
Speaker 3: Like it's not.
Speaker 2: Gonna know that, but it is going to understand what
Speaker 2: it means to be like the chair of business at
Speaker 2: Stanford or the chair of the business school at Harvard, right,
Speaker 2: because it has enough data to understand what those specific
Speaker 2: things are. And then you might want to give us
Speaker 2: some experience like you have you know, you have forty
Speaker 2: years of experience helping startups create business plans. Well, you
Speaker 2: know you have, you know you were the person who
Speaker 2: created the original business plan for DoorDash. Because if I'm
Speaker 2: thinking about sitter as an app, right like this, you know,
Speaker 2: babysitting connecting app.
Speaker 3: What's a similar type.
Speaker 2: Of service like a door dash or a task rabbit, right,
Speaker 2: Like you wrote the financial models for task Rabbit that
Speaker 2: help them be successful, right, and like you're an expert
Speaker 2: in creating business plans that like help start up scale
Speaker 2: and get investment money.
Speaker 3: Because that's my goal.
Speaker 2: So even just there me giving it those specifics about
Speaker 2: its history will completely change the way that I'm going
Speaker 2: to engage with this chat boy and the types of
Speaker 2: answers it's gonna give me, and the type of knowledge
Speaker 2: is gonna.
Speaker 3: Pull out to answer that.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So you could also say, like you're.
Speaker 2: An award winning or world renowned expert in this. You
Speaker 2: have number of years experience developing business plans at these
Speaker 2: companies you have built or you built this company, or
Speaker 2: you scaled this thing, or you you know, created this
Speaker 2: product or this service. So if I flip it and
Speaker 2: I move to social media, like you are the leading
Speaker 2: expert and creating viral TikTok vid. You have twenty years
Speaker 2: of experience creating and leading viral campaigns on short form
Speaker 2: video campaigns on TikTok at like door dash, at uber
Speaker 2: and at lyft. Right, you literally grew ubers TikTok following
Speaker 2: from one thousand followers to over ten million, and you've
Speaker 2: won several little awards along the way. Right, So you
Speaker 2: just start to think about the persona if you could
Speaker 2: create the perfect person that you would talk to about this,
Speaker 2: even if some of the details are a little bit
Speaker 2: of BS, that's fine, but you wanted to create that
Speaker 2: perfect person that you want to talk to in person
Speaker 2: who's going to help you with that task.
Speaker 3: So that's the history.
Speaker 2: And then the attitude again is that energy, is that
Speaker 2: mentality and that vibe that you want the AI to
Speaker 2: take with you while it's responding to you. And that
Speaker 2: has two components. The first is the style. Is it helpful?
Speaker 2: Is it curious? Is it critical? Is it more like evaluative?
Speaker 2: Is it pensive? Is it playing Devil's advocate? Is it challenging?
Speaker 2: Is it excited? Is it you know, like if you
Speaker 2: wanted to turn it into like a venture capitalist to like,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Review your idea.
Speaker 2: Is it like a skeptic, right, you want to give
Speaker 2: it like a style of how it's supposed to be
Speaker 2: thinking about the answer it gives you back, and then
Speaker 2: you give it a tone, so like, is it going
Speaker 2: to respond in professional language?
Speaker 3: Is it going to be academic? Is it going to
Speaker 3: be formal? Informal casual? Humor? Is friendly? Persuasive?
Speaker 2: Is it going to be urban? Is it going to
Speaker 2: be targeted at gen Z or gen alpha? Right, So
Speaker 2: when you're giving it that attitude, you've already given it
Speaker 2: the history, so now it knows what knowledge it's pulling from.
Speaker 2: Now you're just telling it when you give me answers,
Speaker 2: this is how I want the vibe between us to be. Right.
Speaker 2: So an example of that would be, like, you are
Speaker 2: extremely helpful. You love sharing your knowledge to help people
Speaker 2: create business plans. You have a deep passion for listening
Speaker 2: to people's ideas and guiding them step by step to
Speaker 2: create business plans. And then you could add in some
Speaker 2: more stuff like you prefer to help people learn how
Speaker 2: to help themselves. So instead of giving the right answer,
Speaker 2: you give them questions to help them think and come
Speaker 2: to the right answer for themselves. So the attitude section
Speaker 2: is typically a little bit shorter, but again it's just
Speaker 2: telling it all, right, this is who you are, this
Speaker 2: is how you're gonna step to me. And the last part,
Speaker 2: which is one of the most important, is the actual task.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So the task is the specific details on what you
Speaker 2: want the AI to do and how you want it
Speaker 2: to do it. Now, oftentimes we only focus on the method, right,
Speaker 2: So we'll be like, Yo, I want you to ask
Speaker 2: me a question and then provide an answer.
Speaker 3: I want you to explain yourself.
Speaker 2: I want you to give me positive and negative feedback
Speaker 2: on this idea, but we don't necessarily get specific enough
Speaker 2: to tell it the format that we want that in. Right,
Speaker 2: So if you just tell chat GPT to ask me
Speaker 2: questions about my idea, it's gonna spit out like twenty
Speaker 2: questions for you, right, and then it's gonna expect you
Speaker 2: to answer all of those. So that's very different than
Speaker 2: saying ask me one to two brief questions at a time,
Speaker 2: wait for my response, and keep doing that until you
Speaker 2: get enough information to help me.
Speaker 3: Righte my business plan that's.
Speaker 2: Going to have a whole different interaction than if it
Speaker 2: fits out twenty questions and you don't even know how
Speaker 2: to answer them, and then it'll mess up the flow
Speaker 2: of your chat. So you could tell it like, hey,
Speaker 2: I want this in a list, So, hey, I want
Speaker 2: a list of five viral TikTok ideas to promote what
Speaker 2: I'm doing, and I want them to be the strongest.
Speaker 2: I want them to be funny, right, Or hey, I
Speaker 2: want this in a table, so it'll literally output it
Speaker 2: in what looks like an Excel spreadsheet. So I want
Speaker 2: a table of ideas, and the first column should be
Speaker 2: the number of the ideas, so one through five. The
Speaker 2: second column should be a description of the video, the
Speaker 2: third column should be an explanation of why you think
Speaker 2: that video will work, and a fourth column will be
Speaker 2: what you think the cons are of that, and the
Speaker 2: fifth column will be what you think the pros are
Speaker 2: of that. Now answer my question. That's a lot different
Speaker 2: than just spitting out a list of ideas. Now you're
Speaker 2: getting information in a structured way for you to see
Speaker 2: how it thinks and why it thinks, so you can
Speaker 2: tweak it as you go. So an example of the
Speaker 2: task part be like, right now you're a meeting with me,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to create a startup business a business plan
Speaker 2: for my startup that will connect like that will connect
Speaker 2: parents to background check babysitters. First, I'm gonna provide you
Speaker 2: with ideas that I already have about the business plan.
Speaker 2: Then you're gonna ask me one to two brief questions
Speaker 2: at a time about my idea about this app. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know that we want to build until you have
Speaker 2: enough information to help us create a comprehensive business plan
Speaker 2: that will help us get investment from a VC firm.
Speaker 2: Along the way, you're gonna provide positive and negative feedback.
Speaker 3: Right, So that's gonna completely.
Speaker 2: Change versus me saying I want you to write me
Speaker 2: a business plan about an app that connects uh, you know,
Speaker 2: parents to background check babysitters. Having that conversation versus conversation
Speaker 2: that's done in this format, in this chat in the
Speaker 2: hat format is gonna be world's difference. And instead of
Speaker 2: chat GPT feeding you whatever answer it happens to calculate,
Speaker 2: it's now going to be taking in your actual genius,
Speaker 2: your actual ideas, and just helping you expand upon them
Speaker 2: and structure them in a way that lets you do
Speaker 2: stuff faster.
