Kerry Weston (1:00)

Hey there and welcome to the ChatGPT experiment, the podcast designed to help curious folks better understand what this ChatGPT thing is, hear how others are using it in hopes that you can find a way to make it work for your personal or professional life. My name is Kerry Weston. I'm your host. I'm glad you're here and today's a short episode. It's about projects and one of the things that has irked me and others in using ChatGPT, especially if you use it quite frequently, has been the inability for chat to be searchable, to find previous chats easily, and to really go back to the work that you've been doing. So one of the things that I did notice in a recent update is they do have a search Search chat feature. Now I haven't found it to be perfect. It does search names, but if you're looking for words inside chat, it could be inconsistent. But at least it's a start, right? The ability of going back through. I think I probably have hundreds of chats now, conversations and going through and finding them can be a challenge, especially if I just start doing work and I don't think ahead and rename it something meaningful. And so that's a tip that I wanted to share here. Regardless of whether you use projects and what am I going to talk to today or whether you're just using regular chats, I think one of the things that I'm really not good at and should be better at, so I'm going to pass this on as advice. Say, you know, do as I say, not as I do. Is renaming your chats something meaningful so that you can come back and find them. Especially if you want to use it over and over again and use the memory that's in it. So not good at it. But if you hover over, if you're looking to do that, anytime you hover over one of the chats, you're going to get three dots and you'll have the ability to rename it that way. Just gives you the opportunity of finding it when you need it. And of course, in the moment we never, we never think we're going to a need it again or of course we'll find that. But it's really interesting what ChatGPT will name some of your chats. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it's completely logical, and sometimes, you know, give it a day or two and you look back and you have no idea by the name of the chat what it is you actually doing or the reason that you're behind it. So naming conventions and just getting in and when you're done renaming it so you can come back to it, I think is pretty important. So projects. When projects first came out, I tried to understand it. I asked ChatGPT itself what projects were. I made a post in my LinkedIn newsletter about projects versus chats versus chat GPT. Except really, one of the things I've noticed is that when new features get rolled out, there really isn't a simplified way that that chat tells you what it is and how to do it. You really got to kind of figure it out. And so I really, I got to tell you, I put some overthinking into this one. I was really trying to dig in to see what the functional purpose of projects were, and I overdid it. I really got over my skis on this one. Really what it comes down to is Projects is no different than a folder. It literally is a folder. There's no extra functionality at all. But it is super helpful. It's a collection of conversations that you can name and treat it like a folder so that you can put either one conversation or many into that folder for the purpose of what I opened up talking about, which is finding it and reusing it so if you use something like OneDrive or Google Drive or any kind of, you know, file system, you're probably used to having file folders and then having files inside them. And projects is ChatGPT's way of giving you that functionality, right? And so on your Left, underneath custom GPTs, you're going to see projects, and then you're going to find your conversations, which are dated, right? There's stuff you did today, and then it's going to go chronologically older as you go down through. And the easiest way to use projects is to simply create one. So next to the project's name is a plus sign, and you can name it whatever you want your file folder to be, right? And then anytime you have a conversation, you can add it to a project. And you add it to a project by simply using those three dots on the right hand side. And it'll say, do you want to add this to a project? Right. So you can share it as one of those options. That's if you want to share that conversation with somebody that's not in your account but add to a project. And what I've found is, as you're adding it to a project, if the project does not exist, you can't create a project at the moment from that functionality. So you've got to create the project ahead of time. So think ahead, create a project folder, call it whatever you want, and then anytime you have a new conversation, just simply use those three dots to the right side of the name and you can add it to that particular project. Now, how have I used this? Well, I've been using it for client work. So if I have a client and I'm doing repetitive work, whether it be the same kind of thing, or I'm coming back to the same conversation, or whether I am building upon it in another, you know, another task and using another conversation, I will group it up underneath the client work. But for you, it could be different tasks that you're doing. It could be a project that you're working on. You know, you've got multiple components, anything that really requires you to have multiple conversations around the same topic. This project folder utility I have found really super helpful and functional. For me, it skips that step of having to hunt and peck down through all of those conversations that I was talking about. So really overdid my thinking on what projects was when it first came out. In fact, when you ask ChatGPT, and this is really what confused me, chat is usually really helpful in sharing with you what it is and giving you definitions and whatnot and it really over complicated it for me, which is what made it confusing. I started to talk about the functionality of projects and how you might use them and I was under the impression that it was something different. But it's really just a storage and a storage system. It's a way of organizing files moving forward. So if you haven't got into projects, if you've been like me, trying to find a way in which you're hunting, pecking, coming back to them, projects might be a path for you to find some way of organizing and finding benefit in here. So that's really what I want to share today because I think the small nuggets, the small tips are often super helpful when you find a way of doing it and it solves a problem. And I think, I think projects does that for you. A couple things I want to share beyond this. Had a few workshops this week. People are coming to the website and checking out the workshops. Appreciate that. If you've got questions on the workshops that I have, I've got 90 minute sessions that I'm working with people on specific problems around ChatGPT. Also, last one I did was around modeling documents. Jumped on with an attorney and we talked about modeling documents and how to really fast track that busy work. You know that 75, 80% of the work that it takes to put a proposal together or a document together or a memo together. Most of the time we're repeating the same stuff, using a template maybe and just customizing it based on where we're at. And we want to add a little customization specifics to that situation. And so we worked on how to model a custom GPT so that with a few questions being asked, the document could be created in a lot shorter time than starting from the beginning. I also met with someone last week in regards to how do we really take a look at the website and make it more functional, more useful, understanding the customers and the messages and how do we go through and update the website so that I can get a little bit more business functionality and measurable success from it. So those are a couple of different things. Workshops are on the website chatgptexperiment.com also I've got a guide. If you're listening to the podcast, I've got a five Tips for Beginners guide that's free for you. Just download that and it walks through some guiding principles that I share time and time again, as well as links to specific episodes on the podcast that reinforcements that particular principle. So there's Five things in there that beginners should know. Kind of go through some of the basics and explain it and then I link out to the podcast that I think are most relevant to that particular point. So if you're new to the podcast, that's a good way of getting some basic intros. Have seen some new reviews on the site. Appreciate that very much. Your feedback matters to me and it matters to the algorithm and people are trying to find chat GPT. I appreciate you participating. If you have any questions, you can reach me@chatgptexperiment.com and I appreciate hearing from folks. If you've got an idea, want to come on the show, of course you can always reach out and let's talk. Let's see if your story and what you're sharing and learning would be helpful for others because that's, that's how we learn and grow, right? So projects today appreciate you learning, staying with me and listening to the podcast. Hope that helps. Shoot me a tip if you have it. A lot of stuff coming out. There's been a lot of advancements with ChatGPT. I'm digging into some of the new ones now. I'm looking at the scheduling tasks. There's a way that you can schedule repetitive tasks so that it can do something for you over and over again daily basis, something maybe once a week, that kind of thing. Not really comfortable with it yet to talk about it because you got to get in and dig and make mistakes and figure out what it's all about, but working with that. So looking forward to sharing with you what I'm doing with tasks. If some of you are using tasks at the moment and finding some value, please share. I'd love to hear how others are doing this so that I can A learn and B share. Right? So that's what I got for this week. Appreciate you jogging, logging on and listening if you're jogging too. Appreciate your jogging. Stay warm. It's a cold, cold, cold stretch here. I think it was nine below this morning when I went to the gym talking to people in Tennessee where it's about 9 degrees, 15 degrees up in Alabama. So cold stretch going through. Hope you're getting warm. Hope you're staying curious. Thanks for joining us here on the show and until we do talk again, stay curious. Okay, we'll talk soon. See ya.
