More everyday uses
Once you're comfortable with the basics, here are more ways ChatGPT can save you time:
- Summarise documents — paste long emails or reports, ask for the key points
- Turn notes into an email — type rough notes, ask for a polished email
- Brainstorm ideas — ask for marketing ideas, ways to attract customers, or new services
- Organise your week — list your jobs and ask for a realistic plan
- Create checklists — ask for a step-by-step checklist for any regular task
- Working with images or files — some plans let you upload documents or images to analyse
Some features depend on your ChatGPT plan, device, and what's currently available. If a feature isn't there, it may be on a paid plan or not yet rolled out to everyone.
Staying safe and accurate
- Don't enter passwords or confidential business information unnecessarily
- Avoid sharing customers' personal details without a good reason
- Review everything before publishing or sending — especially facts, prices, and legal wording
- Check important information independently — financial, legal, and safety details should always be verified
- Never invent testimonials or customer reviews — AI-generated fake reviews are illegal in the UK
What else could you ask?
Experiment! Try asking follow-ups like "What else could I use this for?" or "How would you improve this further?" The more you use it, the more you'll discover what it can do for your business.
