Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in Adobe Firefly, the all-in-one creative AI studio. Just describe what you want to create and the assistant handles the rest, orchestrating multi-step workflows across Photoshop, Premiere Express, and more in one conversational interface. You direct the outcome. The assistant accelerates execution. Chat GPT plugins are widely misunderstood and grossly underestimated in terms of what they can actually do for your business.
Starting point is 00:00:57 So if you want to know, stick around. Today is going to be the episode that shows you how you can actually use chat GPT plugins to grow your business, your company, your career. All right. So thank you for joining us. My name is Jordan Wilson. I'm the host of this Everyday AI. This is your daily live stream podcast, free daily newsletter, helping people like you and me, everyday people, not just keep up with what's going on in the AI world. We're going to do that too, but how we can actually take advantage of everything. So today we're going to talk about how you can take advantage of chat GPT plugins.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I'm excited about this. So as a reminder, if you're tuning in live, please leave a question. The more questions you ask, the more discussion we can have around chat GBT plugins, the better off we're all going to be. I can guarantee it. So before we get into that,
Starting point is 00:02:03 let's talk about what's going on. In the AI news world, all right? Couple things. So small businesses are finally getting ahead with AI. Yay. So a new story from CBS News details that just how some small businesses finally are starting to use AI at a pretty large scale and get ahead. You know, everything that we kind of hear or see read about is, you know, hey, Salesforce is doing this, Nvidia is doing this, Accenture's doing this, talking about big companies.
Starting point is 00:02:37 So great to see some reporting actually on small businesses using AI. A new report from The Verge says, in quote, every single Amazon team is working on AI. So this article was quoting Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy, talking about that in literal quotes, Every single one, every single team is working on AI. Exciting times, right? Third, last but not least, meta has announced an open source text to music platform. You know, there's kind of been a race in this. Who's going to make the first and the best, you know, text of music where you can just type in what you want and you get
Starting point is 00:03:29 something decent. So OpenAI has their jukebox, which a lot of people don't even use. Google has their music L.M. Also, Google has their text to speech platform coming that I'm excited about called Soundstorm. But meta's new open source text and music platform is called AudioCraft. It's open source, which is great. I love, you know, meta has really been focusing on open source. They've released their Lama 2, kind of the text to, or just kind of their large language model, Lama 2, almost a straight up competitor to ChatGBTGPT. So for that and more, make sure you check out the daily newsletter.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Go to Your EverydayAI.com. Sign up for the free daily newsletter. We're going to have more on those stories. We're going to talk about new, in the fresh finds. We're going to talk about ChatGPT's new features, AI.com, what's happening with that, a lot of stuff going on. But that's not what today's about. Today's about plugins.
Starting point is 00:04:33 All right. And so when I say, this show is for you, this show was at the request of one of our loyal listeners who watches the live stream every day. She said, hey, can you do a show just on plugins? I said, absolutely. Let's get it going. So if you're joining,
Starting point is 00:04:57 If you're joining us live, go ahead and ask, drop a question. And whatever you want to know about plugins, I'm going to try to get to every question. I know we already got more than a dozen comments, which is great. And if you are listening to this on the podcast, first of all, thank you. Second of all, can you drop us a rating? If you like the podcast, go in, leave us a rating. But also, in the show notes, we're going to leave other podcasts that are going to be helpful. We're going to link to this LinkedIn thread where a lot of commenters are joining.
Starting point is 00:05:30 So if you want to ask other questions, if you want to connect with other like-minded AI enthusiasts, they're all right here in the comments. I see them kind of coming in as we go. So let's get going. Let's see who's joining us. Thank you. Dr. Harvey Castro, showing up as I always love it. Lynette, good morning, Dr. Rastafah.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Good morning. He's always here for the hot AIT. So that's what we're dishing. We're dishing it up. I have the hot AI coffee, not quite as good. Brian, good morning. Let's see. Ben's got a question.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I'll get to that. Mabrit, welcome. She's curious about how Google and OpenAI will compete. Yeah. We're going to be talking about that a lot. All right. Let's get to it. This is good.
Starting point is 00:06:22 This is exciting. Guys, here's one of the reasons why I decided to do this episode. Aside from, you know, Nancy in the comments shouted this out as an idea. But here's one of the other reasons. And this honestly, too, played into why I started everyday AI a couple months ago. There's a lot of bad advice out there, right? And that's one of the reasons why I started everyday AI and also why I'm even doing this specific show. There's such a misconception about plugins, right?
Starting point is 00:07:04 Let me give you the shortest background I can. So I spent about 10 years as a writer. I spent another like seven to nine years working at a nonprofit. it. But we were just essentially an agency for Nike and Jordan Brand. So I've been creating content, business solutions, you know, now at my current role. I have a digital strategy company called Acceler and Agency. So we build, and I've been building solutions for companies, four projects, four initiatives to get them off the ground. And we've been using GPT technology since it literally since it debuted in 2020, right?
Starting point is 00:07:48 So we didn't just start using chat GPT in 2022 when it came out. I preface with that by saying there's a lot of bad information out there. So a lot of the people sharing information, even about chat GPT plugins, they're just social media influencers who are just trying to ride a wave. They are people who used to be involved in crypto and now they're like, oh, try this AI thing. That's not us. We build business solutions for companies for the last four years at Acceler and Agency. that's what we do as a digital strategy company.
Starting point is 00:08:20 We reverse engineer solutions. That's how we have to think about plugins. They're not just tools to get views, to get people to sign up for a newsletter. That's not what this is. And that's why this episode took a long time to put together because we're not just going through a list to get you to click on something.
Starting point is 00:08:40 We're trying to help you build business solutions for using chat. GPD plugins. Otherwise, what's the use? Right? I can show you 50 cool plugins. I've tried a couple hundred. There's 800 of them, 800 plugins right now in the repository right now, right? I'm not just going to show you here's, here's cool ones I like. Here's all the bells and whistles. Here's something that'll make you say, wow, right? That's not what it's about. I actually had a couple conversations yesterday with some people who have been reading the newsletter. And I said, hey, I see you been reading the newsletter. Can we talk?
Starting point is 00:09:21 Right? So I talked on Zoom with a couple of them. And a constant message is they're like, there's so much noise out there in the AI space. And all I want to know is how I can use it. Right. So that is what today's about. All right. No more delaying. There's a lot of questions. I'm going to try my best to get to them. Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the All In One Creative AI Studio. Powered by Adobe's Creative Agent, Firefly AI Assistant lets you start with your vision, just

Starting point is 00:10:46 time. You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director. Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in a. public beta. See it today at firefly. Dot Adobe.com. We'll start with this. We'll transition.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Ben's asking, any best practices for staying on top of the chat GPT plugins? Number one, Ben, you just have to use them. Like you have to, right? This isn't, there's no shortcuts. If any of you guys know, has anyone taken,
Starting point is 00:11:18 I think I've seen a couple people have taken my PPP course, the Prime, Prompt Polish. If you have, let me know, just drop a comment. know if it's any good. But one of the things I talk about is copying and pacing, you know, these prompts you see on the internet, it's bad. You know, it's, I mean, don't get me wrong. It'll take you from an F to a C, but it doesn't help you. So same thing with plugins.
Starting point is 00:11:42 You know, I'm going to give you my list, not my list of, oh, these are the coolest ones, not the ones, these are the ones I use the most. But Ben, I'm going to give you my list of, here's a starter pack that for almost any business. business use case, these plugins are going to be best, or at least where you want to start. Right. So number one, use them. Number two, you have to also know what works for you. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Let's get after it. So if you're listening on the podcast, I have some slides up. They're not terribly important. They're just more to guide the conversation. So we're going to talk about the best chat GPD plugins and how they're going to change your business. Oh, here's the other thing. I drew a circle around the wrong thing.
Starting point is 00:12:30 If you are joining us on LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, I actually don't think you can share anything on YouTube. But Twitter, LinkedIn, repost this. Repost this today. I'm going to give you guys something special. Something I've been working on. This isn't the PPP course, the prime, prompt, polish course. It's not the pro version of that, which is also. free.
Starting point is 00:12:55 That's how you guys those courses are free, which we update them multiple times a week. Our team has probably spent more than 100 hours putting that free course together. This is something else. So if you haven't already, go ahead and click that repost, come back and join us, open it in new tab. If you're listening on the podcast, clicking the show notes to come to the LinkedIn thread and repost it. You got to do it today, and I'm going to share something with you.
Starting point is 00:13:22 All right, something I've been working on. related to how you can drive business outcomes with chat GPT plugins. It's really good. Trust me. If any of you guys know, right, I feel we're driving value every single day, cutting through the AI noise. So if I'm spending 30 seconds to say,
Starting point is 00:13:43 hey, you should probably repost this. You should probably repost this. All right. As a reminder, I think I've talked about this, but live stream podcast newsletter, all three things. You've got to check the newsletter out,
Starting point is 00:13:54 especially today. Yesterday's newsletter was exceptional. I'm just saying our guest yesterday was through the roof. All right. I'm not going to spend too much time talking about the basics of chat GBT. So we're just going to dive straight in. Here's the thing. To use chat GPT plugins, you need the paid version.
Starting point is 00:14:14 All right. There's actually a couple of those updates today that we're going to share in the newsletter that made the paid version even a little better. All right, but you need the paid version to access plugins. All right. So now we're going to try to start something. All right. Or we're going to try to do something live.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I normally don't use chat GPT live on the show because things can always go awry. But we're going to go ahead and try. All right. So I'm going to tell you what I'm doing here. And I'm just going to explain this later. Okay. This is one prompt. I have three plugins enabled.
Starting point is 00:14:59 So we always talk about in the PPP course, again, just type PPP in the comments. I got you. It's free. We talk plug-in packs. And if we talk about driving business outcomes with chat GPT plugins, you have to keep plugin packs in mind. This is our own term. This is, you know, if you Google plug-in packs, you're not going to find anything. But essentially, right, for now,
Starting point is 00:15:25 you can only have three plugins enable. So if you want to talk about getting the most out of chat GPT plugins, you have to know which ones to use. Because once you start a chat, you can't go back and add another. You can't delete one. Even if you start with one plugin and you're midway through and you're like, oh, it'd be great to be able to read a PDF in this chat right now. You can't do it.
Starting point is 00:15:50 So whatever you start the chat with, that's what you're stuck with in that chat. All right. So I just typed in a prompt. I'm going to talk about this at the end, but what just happened? And it's already done, right? I did this in real time. We just read a 100-plus page PDF in that 30 seconds
Starting point is 00:16:14 where you didn't even know what was going on. We read 100-plus page PDF. We pulled out important information from multiple pages of that PDF, according to what I asked chat GPT. Then chat GPT made me a CSV out of important data from multiple pages of that PDF. And then chat GPT also made me a very nice graph
Starting point is 00:16:42 that I can also go in and edit, all from one prompt in seconds. All right? You guys just saw that here live. That's an example. example of driving a business outcome. All right? And this is an example I use because I even used to do this.
Starting point is 00:17:02 This used to be a big part of my job. Executive Director of a nonprofit. I was always having to read multiple long PDFs, you know, grant reports. I was pulling out information from those reports, taking notes, building spreadsheets, building graphs. It would take sometimes 20, 30, 40 hours of work on a big project. I just did it for you guys live in 30 seconds. All right?
Starting point is 00:17:25 So that's starting at the end. What do you guys think? Was that impressive? If you've been to a recent PPP class, I've maybe showed you that. What do you guys think? If you're listening on the podcast, can you imagine that manual work that you do,
Starting point is 00:17:45 finding the right combination of chat GPT plugins that'll work for you in getting it all done correctly, every single time, if you know what you're doing, you just saw it live. Right? Sorry, reading some of these comments. Yeah, those that know me know when I'm doing my best chat GPT work, like Dr. Harvey Castro said, he said, where's your Topo Chico?
Starting point is 00:18:14 That's for the afternoon. All right. Just making sure we have so many, so many comments coming in. I'm going to try to get to some of these questions as I can. Thank you guys for shouting out the PPP. Let's keep going. Let's get in. All right, so I just showed you an example of a plug-in pack that literally in seconds did one of my old jobs that used to take me many hours.
Starting point is 00:18:40 So unlike everyone else sharing about plugins on the internet, just about everyone is, we're not just going to say, here's this shiny plugin. Here's what it does. We're starting at the end and we're reverse engineering because we have to know that they're not tools. These aren't tools, and that's all we think of chat GPT plugins as. But we need to have them work together to create business solutions. So here's what we did. And this is where if you already hit repost on this LinkedIn thread, Twitter, then you're in good luck.
Starting point is 00:19:21 If you haven't, if you're on the podcast, click it, go repost this, go retweet it. Today, today is Friday, August 4th. So you got to get it in today. What we've been doing, and this is what we do even for ourselves, we're helping other small businesses do this as well. So we looked at what do we do? What is work, right? And I'd say if you have a desk job, right, if you're working on the computer,
Starting point is 00:19:47 working on the internet, I'd say at least 70% of your day is spent on these five things. meetings, learning, writing, analyzing, and presenting. All right. Again, if you spend the majority of your day in front of a computer working on the internet, probably more than 70% of your day is in those five categories. Right? Meeting prep and follow up, you're reading and taking notes and learning new things.
Starting point is 00:20:23 You're writing emails, internal docs, you're analyzing spreadsheets and charts, you're presenting, you're pitching, your training, right? I'd say 70% of most desk jobs are this. And guess what? We can inside with the right plug-in packs in chat GPT, you can automate almost all of that 70%, all of that manual time. Period. Right? You might have to rethink how you work.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You might have to make some little changes, some little tweaks here and there. But the outcome's not going to, the outcome's not going to be different. Right. So what do I mean by small little tweaks? So maybe you're normally reading PowerPoints, right? So instead of reading the PowerPoints, we're going to save those as a PDF. So chat GPT can read them. Small things like that.
Starting point is 00:21:20 All right. So remember, as we go. get going here. Only three plugins at a time. So we started at the end. I showed you guys this live prompt where we literally, in seconds, automated, what used to take me dozens of hours with one prompt. This breaks it down. This breaks it down right here. Color coded. Again, I'm not a fan of one-shot prompts. If you know me, you know this. This is just to illustrate the power of chat GPT plugins. Even with a prompt that I would never recommend anyone use, this is just for illustrated purposes.
Starting point is 00:22:00 But in one prompt, you guys saw it live where I'm calling. So now we're breaking it down. I started at the end so you guys could see. So now in this one prompt, we're calling multiple plugins in the same prompt. And I have it color coded on the screen. So just as an example, in the language of the prompt, I'm telling it, read this PDF with a PDF reader plug-in. And then I'm saying, create a spreadsheet of this data that you're going to find in the PDF
Starting point is 00:22:25 right there in the green. And then in the blue, we're using a diagramming plugin to say, make me a diagram of this specific information in the CSV that came from these, that came from multiple pages of the PDF. All right? That is the power of knowing your work and starting at the end, where you spend the most manual time, and then creating categories of all those different tasks. This is literally what we do for small businesses at Accelerant. We look at what are your most time-consuming manual tasks,
Starting point is 00:23:02 and we create digital solutions. We reverse engineer the process, but the same can be done in chat, GBT with plug-in packs, right? We name our packs. So as an example, we call this one DDV, which goes from document to data to visualization. So for all these different, all those different categories of work, you can create different plug-in packs around those. So at any point, we talk a lot in our PPP course. Again, if you're just joining us, just type in PPP. That's all it is.
Starting point is 00:23:34 It's free. I'll send you the information. But we talk about you have to name your chats. You have to train your chats. That's the other thing. And once you do all that, you will be able to automate so many parts of your business with the right chat chapti plugins. This is a big windup, right? So let's start talking about them.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Let's start talking about those five. But first, I'm showing on my screen right now. Sorry, guys. I'm a little nasally today, so I might sound a little weird. But I have a screenshot of a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet, which is still ongoing, I'm looking at every single plugin that can access the internet out of 800 plugins.
Starting point is 00:24:23 And I'm recording what tasks they can do online versus what tasks they can't. This is the difference, guys. This is the difference with, you know, following just some random influencer or some crypto bro gone AI entity, right? I spend, and our team spends a ridiculous amount of time.
Starting point is 00:24:46 This was to find one plugin. All right. This spreadsheet right here going through to see which of these, I think there's more than 20. I didn't get them all in the screenshot. More than 20 chat GPT plugins, testing every single one of them across multiple business use cases. So query.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Can it just query the internet? Can it search the internet? Can it read a link and summarize it? Can it read a PDF and summarize it? Can it watch a YouTube video and summarize it? Right? Because when we talk about the limitation of only having three plugins per chat, in almost every case, one of those has to be connected to the internet.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Because we talk over and over, one of the biggest things that leads to hallucinations in chat GPT, is the knowledge cut off. So what that means is chat GPT doesn't know anything after September 2021, which is almost two years ago, right? So not just like current events, but also medicine, right? Medicine's changed so much. Technology has changed so much. Finance has changed so much.
Starting point is 00:26:04 So even the information you're getting out, even if you're not asking about a current event past 2021. Whatever you are asking chat chPD to help you with, it's working without outdated data, period. So even if you don't think that you need an internet connected plugin, you absolutely do. You absolutely do. If you're writing about any type of subject, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:33 And maybe it's different if you're writing about, you know, the civil war, right? I don't think the civil war has changed very much since 2021. I don't know. Maybe it has. But there's very few topics that if you're using chat GPT that haven't changed in two years, that's not how the world works. So that's why we spent so much time going through all these plugins. This isn't just like, let me Google something.
Starting point is 00:26:57 No, we try them all. We've tried hundreds. And we put them through rigorous testing. because when I give someone advice on this show, I want you to know, number one, there's no ulterior motive, not just doing this to charge you guys money. I'm doing this so you can have a friend in AI,
Starting point is 00:27:15 and you know we're not just giving you fluff advice, right? This is hard research advice. All right, it's enough of that. I just went off on a rant because my coffee hasn't kicked in. Just because, y'all, there's so much, so much bad advice out there on the internet about chat GPT and plugins.
Starting point is 00:27:33 It is ridiculous. I was even watching, you know, before I do a show like this, I'll always watch 5, 10 YouTube videos, you know, popular ones. I'm like, let me make sure I'm not missing anything. And all, every single one of that was just terrible advice
Starting point is 00:27:47 and a lot of stuff was wrong. So that's why I go on rant sometimes, guys, because there's bad advice. All right, here we are. After 20 minutes of buildup, These are our top five plugins for business use cases. All right? Here they are.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Here they are. I'll leave a link to these in the newsletter. So don't worry. You don't got to try to look at my little writing and scribble everything down or take blurry screenshots. And I broke these down into three main categories. Internet, automation, and data and visualization. Okay. Here's why, like I said, regardless of what you're working on, you need an internet
Starting point is 00:28:35 plugin. You need an internet connected plugin in your plugin pack. When you're picking three, I don't care what the project is. You absolutely need it. And right now, unfortunately, there's no one internet plugin that does at all. There's not. You know, you guys just saw this. Query, web page, PDF, YouTube. Maybe, you know, one will add to some new functionality. Maybe a new one will come out. I'll let you know because then we wouldn't have to use to. But right now, my two favorite are VoxScript and browser up. Okay? So I wrote down there, VoxScript can do everything up there except PDFs. And then browser op can do everything up there except YouTube. So essentially, if you need YouTube, use VoxScript.
Starting point is 00:29:31 If you need PDF, use browser up. Right now, there's no one plugin that can consistently do both, right? So keep that in mind. If you think you're going to need YouTube and PDF in your chat, use both of them and then use your third one wisely. All right. My next pick for top five business use cases, this is a no-brainer. Y'all, Zapier is wild. Maybe it's because I'm an internet dork, and I've always used Zapier for myself, clients.
Starting point is 00:30:09 If you don't know what Zapier is, you have to check it out. But essentially, how would I describe it? Zapier is like glue. it holds the entire internet together, right? So for Zapier, if you're using it inside ChatGPT, you have to have a Zapier account. They have actually pretty good free options, but there's a lot of paid options as well.
Starting point is 00:30:32 So essentially this, not every single thing that you use is going to be in the ChatGPT plugin store. Some big missing things are mail. Right? If you want ChatGPT plugin store, right? If you want ChatGPT plugin store, you know, you to write email for you, it can, but you have to copy and paste it. If you connect to your Zapier
Starting point is 00:30:53 account and then inside Zapier, connect to your email platform, you can write emails. You can write and respond emails inside Zapier, right? You can actually, so let's say as an example, we use VoxScript, and you did a huge YouTube presentation. You did a two-hour webinar where you unloaded the best parts of your expertise and your knowledge. You could use with, if you have VoxScript and Zapier in one other plugin, you could say, hey, Zapier, look at this two-hour webinar, then write me 50 tweets, 20 LinkedIn posts, and 10 Facebook posts, and then post them. And it'll do it.
Starting point is 00:31:38 You don't even have to leave Zapier if you have your social accounts connected. You'll see them on the screen first, and you can approve them and hit, send, right? But Zapier, you can work, you know, your Zoom calls. That's another one, right? We talked about meetings. You know, right now the big platforms, Zoom, Google meets, teams meets, right? They don't have direct plugins for chat GPT. So what if you want to instantly transcribe everything, right? Like I do, all of my meetings, I get a transcription. I get my AI tells me like the takeaways, it says you should do this, this. This was a concern, this is a next step, right? That's great. But you can't use any of that inside
Starting point is 00:32:20 chat GPT unless you're using Zapier, right? So now I think if you see how important those first two are being connected to the internet and using something like Zapier, right? If you guys, want right now, just tell me. Say yes, do a show on chat GPT and Zapier. If you don't, no big deal. But if you want that, let me know. There's a reason why it's the most popular plugin, or one of the most popular plugins out of 800 in chat chbtee because it's that powerful. All right. Last but not least, data and visualization. So being able to access Google Sheets is a game changer for ChatGBT. Here's why. There's a lot of things you can do with Google Sheets. And I'm going to try not to get too dorky,
Starting point is 00:33:13 but we even have solutions, we'll say, where automatically things happen. We don't have to do anything and we get a new Google sheet every day, right? To be able to work with data like that or whatever data you have instantly inside chat GPT is great. Yes, there's the code interpreter mode,
Starting point is 00:33:34 but in code interpreter, you don't have access to the internet and you can't access any other plugins either. right? So that's why access Google Sheets, absolute, absolute must have in a plug-in pack, right? And then also diagram. If you're looking for the diagram plugin, that's actually how it's spelled. It's spelled d-a-i-r.am. So if you're typing in diagram, you're not going to find it. So d-a-i-g-r.m. This is a fantastic plugin. Right? There's a lot of others. I could go, like, show me is another great one that does some visualization, mind mapping.
Starting point is 00:34:16 But I think that's more for internal purposes. But for business building, for like so many of us out there, even if you're not in data analytics, you're creating spreadsheets and basic pie charts, graphs, timelines, right? Charts. So that is my other one. That's it. We have more comments than I can get to. I'm going to scroll up and I'm going to see if we had any questions.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Val, good morning. I missed a lot of these guys. I got off on a rant. I missed some of the questions. Vernon said, this sounds a lot like science. Kind of. Yeah, it is a little sciencey. It is.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Building business solutions, it is an art and a science inside chat. You know, when we talk about 800 available plugins and you can only use three, it's a lot of combinations. I'm not great at math, but I think that's like 512 million different plug-in combinations. So it is a little bit of a science. You're right.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Mabrette says PPP is the only course I trust. Shout out, Mabrit. Again, if you're still listening, just drop PPP in the chat. If you're on the podcast, literally look in the show notes. I leave a link to the LinkedIn thread. I leave a link to the episode page to email.
Starting point is 00:35:34 All you got to do, just say PPP, I got you. All right, Brian, what's up? Good morning. Let's see. Who else do we have? I just want to make sure I get to your questions, guys, because I promoted this episode a bit. A lot of you guys said that you were excited about it.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Yes, I think Maybert says I so want and need chat. YouPT plugins. I do think there are some countries that still don't have access to plugins. Dr. Rossifah said, what's the opposite of garbage in, garbage out? We just witnessed that. That's great. Love this analogy, Brian. Brian says if a chat is an employee, then plug-ins are teams. Absolutely. In our course and in it, everything I do, I say you have to change your mindset about chat GPT or any
Starting point is 00:36:24 large language model. It's not Google. It's an employee. And you have to train it. You have to go back and forth. You have to treat each chat like an employee. You're not just super super prompt. Here's this great prompt I found on the internet. One thing in, one thing out. That's not it. You have to train it up as an employee. All right. Let's see. Michael, thank you. Thank you for joining us. Michael says Zapier is the best. He has over 200 zaps going for an agency and very rarely had issues. Yeah. You can easily, between Zapier and an internet connected plugin in chat, GPT, just with those two things, there's not a lot you can't automate and accomplish in your business. Again, if you're doing those five different categories of tasks, right, those five things we talked about,
Starting point is 00:37:14 let me go back here. Here we go. Meetings, learning, writing, analyzing, presenting. If you're doing those five things, which again, that's what most of us spend the majority of our time if we're working on a desk job, working on the internet. That's what we're spending our time on. Maris, thank you. She said, your live event is so rich.
Starting point is 00:37:38 I will have to watch it a second time to review all the tips you're getting. And then someone else just loved to comment. I can't read their name here, but said, I think the diagram plug-in is awesome. It is 100%. All right. This was a long one. Right?
Starting point is 00:37:55 But this is just the tip. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Again, if you haven't already, go click the repost on on LinkedIn, the retweet on Twitter. If you're listening to this on the podcast,
Starting point is 00:38:06 go in the show notes. I've been working on something that's separate from the PPP course, separate from the pro PPP course. All of those are free. This is free as well. I'm not one of those people
Starting point is 00:38:18 that's like, oh, do all this stuff and ha ha ha, now you're buying my book of 10,000 prompts for $100. Y'all, since I'm already ranting,
Starting point is 00:38:28 I'm going to end on this rant. You see all these, you know, use my 20 prompts. These are going to save you so much time. Are those absolute garbage? No. There's good use cases. But I say it like this. If someone was trying to teach you how to use the internet,
Starting point is 00:38:45 if you had no clue and someone said, here's 10,000 bookmarks in a spreadsheet of my favorite websites. Are you better off than you were before? Yeah, sure. Now you have 10,000 cool websites, but you have to learn how to use it. You have to learn how to find your own websites. You have to learn how to improve your searches on Google, right? The same thing is true for chat GPT.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Copy and paste prompts are great. They can get you from zero to five. Get your business from zero to five. But you have to learn how to use a large language model. You have to learn how to use chat GPT plugins before your business or your department or your career can really start to take advantage of what plugins have to offer. That's it.
