OpenAI CEO Sam Altman remarked recently in an interview with TIME after being announced CEO Of The Year, that if AI deployment is safe and placed in responsible hands, the world will get “much more abundant and much better every year.”  Some unique areas in which ChatGPT can be used, by itself or as part of a larger tool or technology, to accelerate and streamline day-to-day tasks and admin processes:

1. Automated Customer Support.  ChatGPT-powered chatbots can be used to reduce lengthy wait times for resolving customer service issues, particularly for routine inquiries and solutions, and can be deployed as a tool on your website.  To achieve this you might want to consider creating a customized version of ChatGPT for your organizational needs. 
2. Knowledge Base Development.  Again, using information you have relayed via “custom instructions,” you can ask ChatGPT to create a knowledge base of specific internal policies, guidelines, and training documents, which you can then customize with your human touch once the initial skeleton document or draft is produced.
3. Preparing For Meetings.  Give your notes to ChatGPT and prompt it to draft a meeting agenda or develop discussion points relevant to your unique goals for the meeting. You can also export your Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet meeting transcript, copy and paste into ChatGPT, and ask it to generate a summary of actions and meeting notes to send to relevant parties.
4. Marketing Content Creation And Editing.  If you are struggling to create copy for your marketing outreach, video scripts, or email campaigns, simply give your ChatGPT custom instructions, then prompt it to create the marketing materials you need. You will need to fine-tune your prompts to get the best output.
5. Idea Generation And Brainstorming.  Because large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are trained on enormous data sets, you have unlimited potential to generate ideas and suggestions. This provides a fresh angle to your team brainstorming sessions, and boosts your problem-solving skills.  Soliciting the assistance of ChatGPT can expand your thought process to take into account more diverse perspectives, and help you to think strategically by suggesting potential challenges and considerations that will be critical to business operational success.
6. Reviewing Code.  If you break your code down into smaller chunks, give the bot sufficient context, and a concise prompt of the type of feedback you’re looking for, it will help you to discover any potential vulnerabilities or bugs.
