23 Ways to Use AI Beyond the Surface Level

The video presents 23 underutilized methods for leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance various aspects of life, moving beyond basic applications. The speaker, with three years of experience running AI companies, emphasizes that most users only scratch the surface of AI's potential.

1. Master Prompts for Your Whole Life

This method involves creating a "master prompt" that encapsulates an individual's core values, goals, weaknesses, principles, and life details. This prompt acts as a personalized lens through which AI interprets and answers queries.

• Process:
  1. Instruct AI (e.g., ChatGPT) to help create a master prompt for your life.
  2. The AI will ask clarifying questions to gather context about your life.
  3. Answer these questions thoroughly.
  4. Save the compiled information as a PDF.
  5. Before asking any AI a question, upload this PDF to provide comprehensive context.

2. Hidden Truth Mirror

AI can be used to uncover personal blind spots and traits that individuals may not be aware of.

• Process:
  1. Feed your AI of choice (e.g., ChatGPT) with your personal content, such as journals, blog posts, and other written materials.
  2. Ask the AI to identify unique aspects about you that you might not yet perceive. The AI can leverage patterns from your provided content.

3. Write Books That Don't Even Exist Yet

This technique allows for the creation of books from the perspectives of admired individuals who haven't written on specific topics.

• Process:
  1. Prompt the AI to train itself on all available content (interviews, podcasts, writings) of a target individual.
  2. Instruct the AI to create a book using best practices for outlines, chapters, frameworks, and checklists, while strictly avoiding hallucination and extracting relevant quotes.
  • Note: A specific prompt for this purpose is offered via a link.

4. Decision-Making Journal

AI can be used to track decisions and review their outcomes to improve future decision-making.

• Process:
  1. Log major personal or work decisions into AI (e.g., ChatGPT), including the expected outcome.
  2. Crucially, instruct the AI to challenge your thinking process, as most AIs are designed to be agreeable by default.

5. The AI Camcorder Method

This method transforms raw recordings of tasks into repeatable checklists or standard operating procedures (SOPs).

• Process:
  1. Paste raw notes or transcripts from a video of you performing a task into AI.
  2. Ask the AI to generate a one-page checklist, including all potential pitfalls and reminders related to the task. This creates system documentation for replication.

6. Break Down Goals to Actions

AI can assist in creating actionable plans for achieving life visions.

• Process:
  1. State your goal to the AI.
  2. Ask the AI to design a 30, 60, or 90-day roadmap with specific action items.

7. Visualize Your Dreams

AI can generate images for vision boards, eliminating the need for manual image searching and editing.

• Process:
  1. Use the goals identified in the previous step.
  2. Ask AI to generate images depicting what your life would look like upon achieving those goals.
  3. Regularly review these images to maintain motivation.

8. Automate Savings and Investment Plan

AI can create personalized wealth-building plans to automate financial management, especially when motivation is low.

• Process:
  1. Ask AI (e.g., ChatGPT) to draft a "pay yourself first" schedule and bank roll allocations for an emergency fund, debt repayment, and investments tailored to your specific situation. This offers more clarity and specificity than generic advice.

9. Tax Deduction Finder

AI can help identify potential tax write-offs, credits, and grants.

• Process:
  1. Upload all your expenses to AI.
  2. Based on your situation, ask AI to flag likely deductions and build a monthly tracking checklist.
  3. Inquire about potential grants for which you might qualify.
  • Disclaimer: Always consult with a professional first.

10. Personal Board of Advisors

AI can simulate a personal board of mentors or a mastermind group, even for individuals who are unavailable or deceased.

• Process:
  1. Ask AI to identify individuals who have achieved goals similar to yours, building a list of potential advisors.
  2. Create a custom GPT that acts as these individuals, answering your questions and providing guidance based on their likely decision-making processes.

11. Future Self Letters That Rewire You

Receiving letters from your future self can be a powerful motivational tool.

• Process:
  1. Feed AI your goals and fears.
  2. Ask AI to draft letters to be delivered to you in 30, 90, or 365 days, anticipating your potential feelings and keeping you motivated.

12. Context-Aware Memory Vault

AI can function as a "second brain" by organizing and recalling information relevant to your life context.

• Process:
  1. Create project folders and upload all relevant information (e.g., bank accounts, investments, books aligned with your values).
  2. Ask AI to help make decisions based on the context of your life, referencing the stored information. For example, asking how to adjust investments after having a child.

13. Just-in-Time Learning Paths

AI can create efficient learning paths by identifying the most critical 20% of information needed for a skill.

• Process:
  1. Specify the skill you want to learn (e.g., how to use AI).
  2. Ask AI to map out the 20% of lessons that matter most, skipping extraneous details. This provides a focused, timely learning experience.

14. Meeting Assistant

AI can transform meeting recordings into valuable assets by extracting notes and action items.

• Process:
  1. Provide AI with call recordings (ideally from Zoom).
  2. Have AI pull all notes and identify necessary action items from the conversation.
  • Advanced Application: The "Limitless AI Pin" is mentioned as a real-time, always-on meeting summarizer and task identifier.

15. Risk Assessment

AI can be used to assess the risks associated with business or life decisions.

AI can meticulously plan trips, saving time and reducing overwhelm.

• Process:
  1. Provide AI with dates, budget, and preferences.
  2. Ask for a multi-stop plan that includes hidden gems and must-see attractions.
  • Real-world application: Used for a 9-month world schooling trip covering 15 countries and 40+ cities, assisting with planning, weather tracking, and keeping children engaged.

18. Emotional Debrief Partner

AI can help process difficult emotions and extract lessons from challenging experiences.

• Process:
  1. Use voice mode to vent and describe a situation, including what was said and how you felt.
  2. Ask AI to sort through the noise and identify one lesson or silver lining to shift your perspective.
  • Note: This is not a replacement for therapy but offers immediate, accessible support.
