10 efficient queries and tools that will make AI most useful

First, familiarize yourself with the basic tools

There are many options available today. It's best to start with one of the big services - they're easy to use, intuitive, and offer free versions.

ChatGPT

A universal assistant that helps you generate ideas, structure tasks, edit text, correct errors in tables, and much more. Available in a web version, as well as in apps for iPhone and Android. You need to register to use it. The free version is enough for most users.

Perplexity

Created for information search and learning. Great for complex questions such as "How do black holes work?" or "What does the amendment to the Law... mean?".

DeepSeek

A new tool from China that outperforms ChatGPT by OpenAI, Llama by Meta, and Google Gemini. It is important to observe security and privacy measures when using it.

Google NotebookLM

A useful tool for working with files. Allows you to upload audio recordings, notes, documents, and other materials, and then search for information in them, find links to sources, and even create podcasts based on the uploaded data.

How to get the best results from AI chats

Using artificial intelligence is as easy as searching for information on Google. However, understanding some of the principles of its work will help you get the answers you need faster, rather than fighting with algorithms.

Priming is a term that means the precise formulation of a chatbot query. The more restrictions you set, the more accurate the answer will be. For example, you can specify: "Limit your answer to 250 words," "Make a list in bullet points," or "Organize the result in a table."

It is important to remember that AI cannot read minds. It provides answers based on the queries you enter, the data it learns, and the information it has about the user. One of the easiest ways to set a direction is to use do's and don'ts.

For example, if you need a recipe for friends with food allergies, you can write: "Create a recipe for six people. Include proteins, fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates. Avoid dairy, seafood, and nuts."

10 useful queries for AI

"How can I improve this text?" Insert your text and AI will help you edit it, make it more readable, and suggest what can be improved.

"You are an English teacher. Find mistakes in my text." You can change the "role" of AI depending on the task, for example: "You are a self-development coach. Help me create a plan for daily meditation for a month."

"Explain it as if I were 10 years old." Great for simplifying complex topics, whether it's science, finance, or any other field.

"Remember that...". In ChatGPT, you can enable Memory (Settings, Personalization), and in Google Gemini, it is available for Advanced subscribers. For example, you can say, "Remember that I drink tea, not coffee."

"Analyze this data and explain the trends you find." Insert a list of numbers, a table, or even upload an image - AI will find patterns.

"What's missing here?" You can use it for a travel packing list, a business report, or even a speech script. The more details, the more accurate the answer.

"Who are their competitors?" Useful when searching for service analogs, researching the market, or compiling a list of potential customers. But the results should be double-checked.

"Give me five creative ideas for...". Suitable for finding original gifts, business names, or dinner recipes.

"Summarize this in three sentences." Useful for shortening long articles, contracts, or reports. You can also ask for a list of key points.

"Explain both sides of this argument." Works for discussing political issues, trends, or personal dilemmas.
