ChatGPT just replaced my personal trainer

Happy Sunday,

Today I'm showing you how to hook ChatGPT up to your Apple Health so it can read your actual health data and build a plan around it, giving you a prompt that digs through your inbox for money you forgot you had (it found me 800 dollars), getting into the AI slop button LinkedIn just added along with my honest opinion on the whole thing, and finishing with one free skill that makes AI actually teach you something instead of just handing you the answer.

Let's get into it.

🩺 THIS IS HUGE

ChatGPT and Apple Health Just Joined Forces

ChatGPT and Apple Health just joined forces, and this one might have quietly replaced your personal trainer. OpenAI dropped a brand new health mode directly inside ChatGPT, and it can actually read your real health data and build an entire plan around your actual body. It's live in the US now and it's on the free plan.

The interesting part isn't that you can ask it health questions. You could always do that. It's that it can now see your actual numbers, your sleep, your steps, your heart rate, your workouts, all the stuff your phone and your watch have been quietly logging for years, and make real suggestions off the back of it. This gets especially good the more you already track. If you've got a watch, a sleep tracker, a smart scale, whatever else, and it all feeds into Apple Health, it can look at the whole picture at once instead of one app at a time.

You can also securely connect your medical records from participating providers, so think One Medical, Function Health, and most hospitals and clinics that run on MyChart. Do that and it can track your actual lab results too, which means it can put a new blood test next to your last five and tell you exactly what moved.

Step 1: Open the ChatGPT app on your phone. On the left side, choose Health. You'll see an option to connect Apple Health, and you get to pick exactly what it's allowed to see, your sleep, your steps, your heart rate, your workouts.

Step 2: Then just ask it, right there in the chat:

It pulls your real numbers and builds a plan that's genuinely tailored to you. And here's the part that got me. It keeps adjusting. If you only slept four hours last night it'll swap your heavy day out for active recovery. If your heart rate is spiking it'll tell you to back off and do something else instead. It's like having a personal trainer watching your body 24/7, completely for free.

Two honest things before you connect your medical records though. The moment they leave your hospital's portal and land in ChatGPT, they're not covered by HIPAA anymore. That's not OpenAI being sneaky, HIPAA covers hospitals and doctors, not apps. And don't use this to work out whether something is an emergency. Mount Sinai actually tested it on that and it got it wrong more than half the time. It's brilliant at explaining your own numbers back to you and telling you what to ask at your next appointment. It is not your doctor.

💰 PROMPT OF THE WEEK

Claude Just Found Me 800 Dollars I Forgot I Had

This is one of the coolest use cases I've come across in a while, and it took about thirty seconds to set up. You connect your Gmail to Claude and have it go dig through years of your inbox for every credit, refund, gift card, and voucher you were given and never actually used.

I ran it on mine and it came back with 800 dollars of American Airlines credit that doesn't expire until 2028, plus a handful of restaurant gift cards I completely forgot existed. So I'll be eating for free this week and flying somewhere nice later. Not bad for one prompt.

Step 1: In Claude, click Customize on the left, then Connectors, then Browse connectors. Find Gmail and hit connect, then sign in and approve it. If you'd rather use ChatGPT, the Gmail connector is in there too under Plugins on the left.

Step 2: Paste this in and let it run.

Step 3: Now the bonus prompt, because a code sitting in an old email doesn't mean it still works. This one needs an AI that can use a browser, so use Claude with the Chrome extension connected, or in ChatGPT switch to Work and type @browser first.

Genuinely go run this one tonight. Airlines and hotels especially are counting on you never remembering, and gift cards are a business built almost entirely on people forgetting. I've got a full video on this coming out soon.

💬 HONEST TAKE

LinkedIn Just Added an AI Slop Button

On Thursday LinkedIn added a button to every post on the platform. You hit the three dots in the top right corner of anything in your feed and one of the options is now literally "Seems like AI slop." You tap it, the post vanishes from your feed, and you get a little "thanks for letting us know." It doesn't delete anybody's post, it just trains LinkedIn's filters and quietly strangles that post's reach. And on the same day, LinkedIn killed their own AI writing tool, the one that used to rewrite your posts for you.

So why is LinkedIn doing this? Well, a company called Pangram recently scanned over a million posts across five different platforms and found that roughly 40% of long posts on LinkedIn are entirely written by AI. LinkedIn was about a third of everything they scanned and produced 62% of all the AI content they found. It is comfortably the most AI-saturated place on the internet. LinkedIn's own product boss put it pretty well, "AI and slop are not the same thing," and said they're now catching hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts every single day.

Now here's my honest take, and it's probably not the one you'd expect from the AI guy. I'm about as pro-AI as a person can be, I use it for everything, all day. But AI slop was never really an AI problem. Slop is what you get when somebody had nothing to say and published anyway, and that existed long before ChatGPT, we just used to call it a bad LinkedIn post. You can write something with AI that's completely, obviously yours. Your story, your opinion, your actual numbers, your weird way of saying things. Nobody will ever call that slop, and I'd know, because I use AI in almost everything I make. Or you can type "write me a LinkedIn post about leadership," post whatever comes back, and everyone scrolling can tell within four words. The tool didn't do that. You did.

So do I like the button? Yeah, mostly. It puts a real cost on being lazy and that's overdue. The part I don't love is that AI detection is genuinely bad at its job and always has been, so plenty of people who just write in a clean, organised way are about to get flagged for it. A button won't fix LinkedIn. But it does mean the laziest possible version of you is finally going to get less reach than the real one, and I'll take that.

💡 SAVE THIS

The One Skill That Makes AI Actually Teach You

Quick one to finish on. Here's something I think about a lot: most people use AI in a way that quietly makes them worse. You ask, it answers, you nod, and ten minutes later you couldn't explain a word of it back to anyone. You didn't learn anything, you just borrowed an answer.

This skill flips that. It's a free set of teaching skills built by a guy named Gareth Manning, and instead of handing you the answer it actually teaches you like a real tutor would. It quizzes you, spaces the repetition out over days so it genuinely sticks, and when you're stuck it gives you a ladder of small hints rather than the solution.

Installing it takes about ten seconds. In Claude, go to Customize, then Plugins, hit Add plugin, choose Add marketplace, then Add from a repository, and paste this in:

Then just tell Claude what you're trying to learn. Spanish, a new piece of software at work, guitar, whatever it is. One tip: there's a lot in there and most of it was written for actual teachers, so say use the student-facing skills and it'll point at the right ones.

It's also genuinely brilliant for helping a kid or a grandkid with homework without just doing it for them, which is a much harder trick than it sounds. It'll walk them toward the answer and then check they can actually explain it back.

Go connect Apple Health tonight and ask it to build you a plan for the week, it takes about thirty seconds and it's a strange feeling watching it work off your own numbers. And run that inbox prompt while you're at it, that one might genuinely pay for itself in four minutes.

See you Wednesday.
