🧠 DEEP DIVE
How to Make Images and Videos With Claude
One of the biggest things people don't realize about Claude is that you can connect it to external tools. And there's a really easy setup that gives Claude access to every top image, video, and audio model out there. So instead of jumping between five different apps, you just tell Claude what you want and it handles it.
Here's how to set it up. It takes about 60 seconds.
Step 1: Go to the Picsart CLI page and copy the install command from NPM.
Step 2: Open Claude Code and paste the command in. It'll install in a few seconds.
Step 3: Type "login" and sign into your Picsart account. For those who don't know, Picsart is a tool I highly suggest if you want to access all the top image, video, and audio models under one subscription. Once you're logged in, Claude will use the credits already in your Picsart account... just through Claude Code instead.
The advantage of doing this is that you can tell Claude to generate 50 images at a time and it'll just do it. Instead of manually going into Picsart and generating them one by one, you just say "generate 50 product photos" and Claude handles the whole thing. That alone makes this worth setting up.
You can generate product photos, social media graphics, short videos, audio clips... all from one place without ever leaving Claude. The quality is really solid and once you have it set up, you wonder how you were doing things before. It's one of those setups where you do it once and it just works from that point on.

💼 PROMPT DROP
These AI Resume Prompts Feel Like a Cheat Code
I've been testing a bunch of AI resume prompts and some of them are genuinely insane. If you're job hunting right now or you know someone who is... send them this.
Start by uploading your resume and the job description you're going for. Then run these four prompts in order, all in the same chat:
|
PROMPT 1:
Act as a senior recruiter. Analyze my resume against this job description. Give me a match score out of 100 and list the top 5 missing keywords I need.
|
|
PROMPT 2:
Rewrite my experience section to naturally include those keywords. Use the Google XYZ formula: accomplished X as measured by Y by doing Z.
|
|
PROMPT 3:
Act as an applicant tracking system filter. Scan my new resume. Tell me which sections a bot would struggle to read.
|
That third one is important. Most people don't realize that before a human ever reads your resume, a bot scans it first. If your formatting is off or you're missing the right keywords, you get filtered out automatically. This prompt catches that.
|
PROMPT 4:
Act as the hiring manager for this role. Ask me the 3 hardest technical questions you would ask. Then give me the perfect response based on my background.
|
And here's the bonus move. You can take it even further by uploading your resume, turning on agent mode, and saying "search LinkedIn for jobs that match my skills, then generate a customized resume and cover letter for each one." ChatGPT will literally open its own browser, go on LinkedIn, find matching jobs, and come back with everything done. I tested it and it found three jobs and wrote all the resumes and cover letters in about 10 minutes.
Send this to someone who's job hunting. They'll thank you.

🍓 I SAW THIS AND HAD TO SHARE
ChatGPT Finally Learned How to Spell Strawberry
one month ago
today
ChatGPT posted on their official account this week basically celebrating that their AI can now correctly answer "how many R's are in strawberry." And if you don't get why that's funny, let me explain... because it's actually a really cool look at how AI works behind the scenes.
AI models don't read words the way you and I do. They break text into chunks called "tokens." So when you type the word "strawberry," the AI doesn't see s-t-r-a-w-b-e-r-r-y as individual letters. It sees something more like "straw" and "berry" as two separate pieces. So when you ask it to count the R's, it's trying to count letters inside chunks it never actually broke apart. That's why it kept saying two R's instead of three. It literally couldn't see them.

after
Same thing with the car wash riddle. You've probably seen this one... "I want to wash my car but the car wash is only 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" Every AI model would say walk because 50 meters is close. But the whole point is... you need to bring your car to the car wash. Walking there without the car defeats the purpose. The AI read the words but completely missed the logic.
These two questions became like the ultimate AI litmus test on the internet. People would test every new model with them. And GPT-5.5 finally gets them both right. Whether that's because the model genuinely got smarter or because OpenAI specifically trained it on these exact questions... that's a different conversation. But it's a fun milestone either way.
🔑 3 SECRET CODES FOR CLAUDE
Three More Codes That Change How Claude Responds
Dropped three more secret codes for Claude this week. Same idea as the ChatGPT ones... these are keywords you add to your prompts that completely change how Claude responds. Here they are:
|
LANDMINE Put this at the end of your prompt. Claude will scan your entire plan and flag the hidden risks you're about to step on that you don't even see. Perfect for business plans, project launches, big decisions.
/CAVEMAN Put this at the start of your prompt. Claude cuts its output by 75% and explains any topic using the simplest, most basic language possible. Great when you just need the core idea without all the fluff.
V10 Put this at the end of your prompt. Claude writes 10 completely different versions of the response and you pick whichever one you like best. Incredible for emails, headlines, social posts, anything where you want options.

I have over a hundred of these codes if you want the full list.

📸 QUICK NEWS
Google Gemini Just Passed 750 Million Users
Gemini just hit the second most monthly active users of any AI app, right behind ChatGPT. It just crossed 750 million. Two years ago it had 7 million. That's a 107x increase. Insane growth.
I'll be honest, I don't use Gemini as much as I use ChatGPT or Claude day to day. But there are two things it does better than anything else out there. First, if you need to search through your Google stuff... your emails, your Drive, your calendar, your photos... Gemini is unbeatable at that because it's already plugged into everything. You don't have to connect anything or set anything up. It just knows your whole Google world. Second, Deep Research. You give it a topic and it goes off for like five minutes, searches dozens of sources, cross-references everything, and comes back with a full research report with citations. It's the best deep research tool I've used and it's not even close.
And then there's NotebookLM. This is powered by Gemini and it's honestly one of the best AI tools period. You upload documents, articles, YouTube videos, whatever... and it turns them into an interactive notebook you can chat with. It even generates a podcast-style audio summary of your content with two AI hosts that sound shockingly real. If you've never tried it, go play with it today. It's free.
My take: every AI tool has its lane. Gemini's lane is your Google life and research. And in that lane, nothing touches it.
💬 FROM THE DMS
"I Pay for ChatGPT but I Feel Like I'm Only Using 10% of It"
I get this one constantly. And honestly, most people are right. If all you're doing is asking ChatGPT questions like it's a smarter Google, you're barely scratching the surface.
Here's the single biggest unlock. You need a master prompt. This is basically a document that tells ChatGPT everything about you... your job, your goals, your communication style, your industry, what you're working on. When ChatGPT has this, every single response it gives you is 10x more relevant because it's not guessing who you are anymore.
Here's how to build yours. Paste this into ChatGPT:
|
Ask me all the questions you need to generate my master prompt.
|
It's going to ask you about 100 questions. Your role, your industry, how you like things written, what tools you use, what you're trying to accomplish... all of it. Here's the trick: turn on voice mode and just answer them out loud. Take an hour out of your day, maybe on a walk or in the car, and just talk through them. It's way faster than typing and you'll give way better answers because you're just having a conversation.
Once you've answered everything, say: "Save this to your memory and also send me this as a PDF." Now ChatGPT remembers all of it in every future conversation. And the PDF is your portable master prompt. You can take that same document and paste it into Claude, Gemini, whatever you want. Any AI tool instantly knows who you are and what you need.
This is the difference between getting generic responses and getting responses that feel like they were written by someone who actually knows you. Do this once and you'll never go back.

That's it for this week. Go try something.
See you Sunday.
