The hype around GenAI and how it enhances productivity shows no signs of slowing down. Just as previous generations shifted from Xeroxing to Googling, we now find ourselves firmly in the era of “Ask ChatGPT.”.

GenAI finds its applications in various fields, such as image synthesis and text generation to music composition, marketing content, data analysis, coding, and countless other tasks that, until recently, required specialized expertise. In this issue, we spotlight just a few of the many real-world applications of GenAI, using OpenAI’s ChatGPT as our lens.

1. Daily assistant: ChatGPT is an excellent tool for boosting your day-to-day activities, such as grocery shopping, meal planning, and workouts, among many other tasks. Take, for example, the following prompt:

Generate a 75’ workout routine for strength training. My goal is increasing my overall strength and also improving flexibility. I need a workout for the upper body only divided by the muscle group. Make it in a table format with # of reps and # of series. Make sure to incorporate some rest as well.

Here is a sample workout plan that ChatGPT might generate for you:

2. Creating content: You can use ChatGPT to craft emails, create social media posts, write blogs and articles, assist with proofreading, perform translations, analyze documents, or even adjust the tone of your content: whether you want it to be formal, quirky, casual, or sarcastic. Take a look at ChatGPT’s sarcastic translation of an Italian text:

3. Coding assistant: The primary capability you should leverage is ChatGPT’s code generation. From writing a simple function to creating the skeleton of a game, ChatGPT can provide enough building blocks to get started. You can also use it to suggest code optimizations, explain errors, and debug your existing code. Additionally, it can help generate documentation, improve code explainability, and even assist in understanding the structure of a neural network. Take, for example, the following CNN model:

If you ask ChatGPT to explain this model, it may respond as follows:

4. Design marketing campaigns: Suppose you have a new product and need a go-to-market (GTM) strategy. You can ask ChatGPT to help you draft an initial plan. Then, by iteratively refining your prompts, you can request suggestions for the product name, marketing hook, target audience research, unique value proposition, sales channels, pricing, SEO keywords, and more. You can even ask it to generate product launch posts. Here are some of the prompts Valentina experimented with in her book while developing a GTM strategy for eco-friendly socks.

Beyond the four use cases we’ve spotlighted in this issue, the book Practical Generative AI with ChatGPT, by Valentina Alto, introduces generative AI and its applications, focusing on OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It covers prompt engineering, daily productivity use cases, domain-specific applications for developers, marketers, and researchers, and the creation of custom GPTs using the GPT Store, enabling specialized assistants without coding, powered by personalized instructions and tools.
