I’m presenting specific examples in person on Friday 17 April in Dublin of how I use Claude AI for Business.
It’s important to have a regular routine and one that you can quickly cruise through. I do that with Claude by using keystrokes. As James Clear says, it can lead to a compounding effect.
I converted these prompts to flash cards to help memorise Claude shortcuts I saw Ruben Hassid using.
/ELI5 is used to explain as if to a 5-year-old.
/TLDL summarizes a very long text in a few lines.
/STEP-BY-STEP lays out reasoning step by step.

/ACT AS makes ChatGPT speak in a specific role.
/BRIEFLY forces a very short answer.

People in Ireland who want to see some of these prompts in operation can see them running in person in T-cube, 1 O'Connell Street, from 11am to 1pm. It costs €22 a ticket on Eventbrite.
