10 Secret Codes for ChatGPT

I've talked about a lot of secret codes for ChatGPT in this newsletter and on my page. At this point I've covered well over a hundred. But these are my top 10 of all time... the ones that actually work and actually make a real difference in your responses. These aren't official ChatGPT features, but rather little commands you can put at the start or end of your prompt to change the way ChatGPT responds to you. Just try any of these and you'll see the difference immediately.

1. /human
Put this before your prompt and you'll get a humanized output that sounds way more natural and less like AI wrote it.

2. /redteam
Put this at the end of your prompt and ChatGPT will critique your idea so aggressively that it exposes every single weakness.

3. /meta
Put this at the start of your prompt and ChatGPT will zoom out and analyze your question before answering.

4. ALT3
This gives you three completely different variations of any answer based on what you asked. Perfect when you want options.

5. /truth
Put this before your prompt and ChatGPT will significantly reduce its hallucination rate, verify the sources it's claiming, and cross-check its answers multiple times before responding.

6. ELI10
Put this before your prompt and ChatGPT will explain any topic to you like you're 10 years old. Great for learning anything fast.

7. /predict
Put this before your prompt and ChatGPT will predict future outcomes based on the current information it has about you.

8. OODA
Put this at the end of your prompt and ChatGPT will run a military decision framework on your problem and tell you exactly how to solve it.

9. UNLEARN
This will show you the most common misconceptions about any topic and break down what people get wrong versus what actually works. Perfect for cutting through bad advice.

10. /Socrates
Instead of giving you an answer, ChatGPT will ask you questions one at a time until you actually figure out the answer yourself. This one's incredible for problem-solving.

📄 TIME SAVER

ChatGPT Can Now Do Your Paperwork

You can now upload PDFs, DOCX files, and even images of forms you need to fill out directly into ChatGPT and it will fill out the entire form based on what it already knows about you. If it's missing anything, you just give it the details and it fills in the rest instantly.

This is especially helpful if you're on your phone and don't have access to your desktop. The best thing to do is turn on voice mode and just talk to it... give it all the details it needs and it's going to automatically fill everything in for you. Then you can say "save these details to your memory" and ChatGPT will remember them for next time so you never have to type your info again.

I've been using this for every form I need to fill out and it's literally saved me hours every single week. You can also output the completed form as a PDF or whatever format you need it in. So if you upload an image of a form, you can output it as a clean PDF ready to send.

I won't tell you to cancel Adobe because it's a great platform, but you can definitely figure out where to cut out some subscriptions here. You really don't need separate tools for filling out forms or converting files anymore. It's all done directly inside of ChatGPT now.

💰 REAL TALK

Should You Pay for These AI Tools?

There are five big AI tools competing right now and I get asked every single day which ones are worth paying for. If you're an avid AI user and you're looking to get better, here's my honest breakdown of what tiers you should be on for each tool.

The orange plans are what I'd recommend for most people starting out. The blue plans are what I personally pay for. I use ChatGPT Pro, Claude Max, Gemini AI Pro, and Perplexity Pro every day for work, but if you're a normal user the $20/mo tiers on ChatGPT and Claude are more than enough. ChatGPT has also made a big comeback with Codex, so even the Plus plan goes a lot further than it used to. Grok is free on X and it's great for real-time trends... I don't pay for it and you don't need to either.

📰 BREAKING

ChatGPT Codex Just Got Way Bigger

OpenAI just dropped the ability to build full websites and apps directly inside of Codex. There's a new plugin called Sites that lets you go from idea to live website without touching a line of code yourself. It's rolling out to Business and Enterprise plans now and should be available to everyone soon.

Codex has severely grown on me over the last few weeks. OpenAI has been shipping a lot to it and spending a lot of time making it better, and it shows. There are tons of plugins now that let you do things like computer use (which is honestly much better than agent mode inside ChatGPT), video editing, website building, and a lot more. If you're an everyday ChatGPT user and you're not using Codex yet, I'd really recommend downloading the app and trying it out. It's a much more powerful version of using ChatGPT and it's clearly what OpenAI is pushing as the future of their platform.

OpenAI is also making some big moves on the infrastructure side... they're essentially becoming a cloud provider, taking a similar approach to AWS where they're building the platform and then bringing in these vibe coding startups and making their tools native inside of Codex. I've been testing out the Sites feature and the designs look really good. Claude has historically been better at design, but Codex is closing that gap fast. We'll see where this goes, but it's really interesting to watch this happen in real time.

💻 LIFE CHANGING

Claude Can Now Organize Your Entire Desktop

We all know what it feels like to have a messy desktop. Thousands of screenshots, photos from three years ago, random files you forgot about... I just figured I'd finally solve this with Claude Cowork. Cowork is really slept on for these type of features and it's insanely powerful. You can literally have Claude organize every single photo and screenshot on your computer and even label them exactly what they are. Here's exactly how to do it.

Step 1: Open the Claude desktop app and choose Cowork. Drag and drop the folder you want organized... this could be your entire desktop folder or any folder you want to clean up.

Step 2: Click Allow, then paste in this prompt:

Step 3: Wait about 20 minutes. Claude is going to go through every single file, figure out what's in each image, sort everything into neatly organized folders by date, location, and event, and rename each file so you can actually find what you're looking for.

If your desktop currently looks like a war zone and you've been telling yourself you'll organize it "one day"... that day is today and it takes 20 minutes. You literally just sit there while Claude does it all for you. I wish I had this years ago.

⚖ GAME CHANGER

Claude Just Dropped Some Serious Legal Skills

A couple weeks ago Anthropic released a set of legal skills as official plugins inside of Claude Cowork and I hadn't covered them yet. These are official Anthropic plugins so there's nothing to worry about. Here's how to set them up and the three that I think make the most difference.

First, open Claude, go to Customize, then Plugins, and search for "Legal." You're going to see it right there. Install it and you'll have access to all nine legal skills. Here are my three favorites:

1. /review-contract
Upload any contract, lease, or terms of service and Claude will flag every deviation from market standard, classify the risk level of each clause, and generate full red lines you can send back.

2. /compliance-check
Upload any document and Claude will scan it against GDPR, CCPA, and every major privacy regulation, then flag anything that puts you at risk.

3. /legal-risk-assessment
Upload any legal document and Claude will surface every hidden liability and tell you which clauses to negotiate before you sign.

I always recommend consulting with a lawyer on important contracts, but this gives you the ability to review them yourself and actually understand what's going on without all the legal jargon.

Go try the desktop file organizer. You're going to be so impressed by how fast Claude can do it and what it's actually capable of. Everything in this space is changing so fast and I'm here to help you keep up with all of it. I always love seeing the replies you guys send me with the things you're trying out... keep them coming. And if you have friends or family who you think would get value out of this newsletter, send it their way.

See you Sunday.
