Make a presentation

What you end up with: A finished slide deck you can present or export

⏱ About 30 min Free plans work 3 steps Tools: ChatGPT, Gamma, Grammarly

All three have free plans. Gamma’s free credits are one-time and don’t refill.

  1. Step 1 • ChatGPT

    Get an outline

    Ask ChatGPT for a slide-by-slide outline. Don’t worry about perfect wording yet. You just want the structure.

    Prompt for ChatGPT

    I'm making a [10]-slide presentation about [TOPIC] for [WHO IT'S FOR]. Give me a slide-by-slide outline. For each slide, give a short title and 3 bullet points. Keep each bullet under 12 words. End with one slide of next steps.
  2. Step 2 • Gamma

    Turn the outline into slides

    Start a new presentation in Gamma and paste the outline in. It builds the slides for you. Then pick a theme and swap out any pictures you don’t like.

    Prompt for Gamma

    Make a presentation from this outline. Use one slide per section, keep the text short, and use simple visuals. Don't add slides I didn't ask for.
    
    [PASTE YOUR OUTLINE HERE]
  3. Step 3 • Grammarly

    Check the words

    Copy your slide text into Grammarly, or use its browser extension right inside Gamma. Fix the typos it flags. Then read the slides out loud once before you present.

    If you use Grammarly’s AI help

    Make this clearer and shorter. Keep my meaning and my facts the same. Don't add anything new.

Write a cover letter

What you end up with: A one-page cover letter that fits the job you’re applying for

⏱ About 15 min Free plans work 2 steps Tools: ChatGPT, Claude, Grammarly

The free plans of ChatGPT or Claude and Grammarly are enough for this.

  1. Step 1 • ChatGPT

    Write a first draft

    Paste in the job post and a few facts about you. Ask for a short draft. Claude works just as well for this.

    Prompt for ChatGPT or Claude

    Write a cover letter for this job. Keep it under 300 words and make it sound like a real person, not a template. Use 2 or 3 of my experiences that match the job best. Don't make up anything about me.
    
    The job post:
    [PASTE THE JOB POST]
    
    About me:
    [YOUR ROLE NOW, 3 THINGS YOU'VE DONE THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF, WHY YOU WANT THIS JOB]
  2. Step 2 • Grammarly

    Clean it up

    Paste the draft into Grammarly and fix what it flags. Then read it once yourself. Make sure every claim is true and the company name is right.

    If you use Grammarly’s AI help

    Make this sound confident but not stiff. Keep it under 300 words. Don't change any facts.

Turn a blog post into a voiceover

What you end up with: An audio file of your post, read out loud

⏱ About 15 min Free plans work 2 steps Tools: Claude, ChatGPT, ElevenLabs

Works on free plans for shorter posts. ElevenLabs’ free plan has a monthly limit.

  1. Step 1 • Claude

    Rewrite it for listening

    Paste your post into Claude and ask for a script that sounds good out loud. ChatGPT works for this too.

    Prompt for Claude or ChatGPT

    Rewrite this blog post as a voiceover script that takes about [3] minutes to read out loud. Use short sentences. Write numbers and abbreviations the way you'd say them. Remove links, headings and anything that only makes sense on a screen. Keep my main points and my tone.
    
    [PASTE YOUR BLOG POST HERE]
  2. Step 2 • ElevenLabs

    Make the voiceover

    Paste the script into ElevenLabs’ text to speech and pick a voice. Try two or three voices on the first paragraph before you do the whole thing. Longer scripts may need a paid plan.

    If you’d rather describe a voice than pick one (ElevenLabs calls this Voice Design)

    A calm, friendly voice, about [30s], with a [American] accent. Clear and warm, like someone explaining something to a friend. Steady pace, not rushed.

Make social posts from one idea

What you end up with: A few posts for different apps, plus an image to go with them

⏱ About 20 min Free plans work 2 steps Tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Ideogram, Adobe Firefly

Claude or ChatGPT are free. Ideogram and Firefly both give you some free image credits.

  1. Step 1 • Claude

    Write the posts

    Give Claude your one idea and say where you post. Ask for a version for each app. ChatGPT works too.

    Prompt for Claude or ChatGPT

    Here's one idea I want to post about: [YOUR IDEA IN 1 OR 2 SENTENCES].
    
    Write one post for each of these: [X, LinkedIn, Instagram]. Match how people write on each app. Keep it plain and honest, no hype. Give each one a short hook in the first line. Suggest 2 hashtags at most for Instagram only.
  2. Step 2 • Ideogram

    Make an image

    Use Ideogram for an image to go with the posts. It’s good when you want a few words in the image. Adobe Firefly is another option.

    Prompt for Ideogram or Firefly

    A simple, clean image about [YOUR IDEA]. [Flat illustration / photo style]. Bright colors, lots of empty space. If there's text, it says only: "[3 TO 5 WORDS]". Square format.

Research a topic

What you end up with: A short summary with sources you can check

⏱ About 30 to 45 min Free plans work 2 steps Tools: Perplexity, Gemini Notebook

Perplexity and Gemini Notebook both work on their free plans.

  1. Step 1 • Perplexity

    Find good sources

    Ask Perplexity your question. It answers with links to where it found things. Open the sources and keep the ones that look solid.

    Prompt for Perplexity

    I'm researching [TOPIC]. Give me a short overview and the 5 to 8 best sources to read, with a link and one line on why each is useful. Prefer original research, official data and well-known publications. Tell me where experts disagree.
  2. Step 2 • Gemini Notebook

    Ask questions about your sources

    Make a new notebook in Gemini Notebook and add the sources you kept, as links or files. Then ask your questions. It answers from those sources and shows where each answer came from.

    Prompt for Gemini Notebook

    Using only these sources, give me the 5 main points about [TOPIC]. For each point, say which source it comes from. Then list anything the sources disagree on and any questions they don't answer.

Summarize a meeting

What you end up with: Clean notes and a list of who does what by when

⏱ About 10 min after the call Free plans work 2 steps Tools: Granola, Otter.ai, ChatGPT

Granola, Otter and ChatGPT all have free plans. Granola’s free plan keeps 30 days of notes.

  1. Step 1 • Granola

    Capture the meeting

    Turn on Granola when the call starts. It listens through your computer, so no bot joins the meeting. If you want a live transcript instead, use Otter. Tell people you’re taking AI notes.

    Notes to jot down in Granola during the call

    Decisions:
    Open questions:
    Action items: [WHO] - [WHAT] - [BY WHEN]
  2. Step 2 • ChatGPT

    Turn it into an action list

    Copy the notes or transcript into ChatGPT and ask for a clean list of next steps you can send around.

    Prompt for ChatGPT

    Here are notes from a meeting about [TOPIC]. Give me:
    1. A 3-sentence summary.
    2. The decisions we made.
    3. An action list as a table: who, what, by when. If something has no owner or date, mark it "needs owner" or "needs date". Don't make up anything that isn't in the notes.

Build a simple website

What you end up with: A working one-page site you can share with a link

⏱ About 1 hour Free plans work 2 steps Tools: Lovable

Lovable’s free plan gives you 5 credits a day, so a small site works. Bigger projects may need Pro.

  1. Step 1 • Lovable

    Describe the site

    Tell Lovable what the site is for and what goes on it. Be specific about the sections. It builds a first version you can click around in.

    Prompt for Lovable

    Build a simple one-page website for [YOUR BUSINESS OR PROJECT]. It's for [WHO IT'S FOR]. Sections: a header with the name and one line about what we do, [3] short sections about [SERVICES OR FEATURES], a few customer quotes (use placeholders I can edit), and a contact section with [EMAIL OR FORM]. Style: [clean and simple / bold and colorful]. Make it look good on phones.
  2. Step 2 • Lovable

    Fix it one change at a time

    Ask for one change per message, like a new color or a different headline. Small asks use fewer credits and are easier to undo. Check it on your phone before you share it.

    Example follow-up prompt

    Change only this: [ONE SPECIFIC CHANGE, LIKE "make the header background dark blue and the button text white"]. Leave everything else the same.

Make a short video

What you end up with: A 30-second video clip for social

⏱ About 1 hour Free plans, with limits 2 steps Tools: ChatGPT, Runway, Synthesia

Possible on free plans, but Runway’s free credits are one-time and run out fast. Synthesia’s free plan is limited too.

  1. Step 1 • ChatGPT

    Write a short script

    Ask ChatGPT for a short script split into shots. Short is easier to make and easier to watch.

    Prompt for ChatGPT

    Write a [30]-second video script about [TOPIC] for [TikTok / YouTube Shorts / Instagram]. Open with a hook in the first line. Split it into 4 to 6 shots. For each shot, say what we see on screen and what is said. Keep each shot simple enough to film or generate.
  2. Step 2 • Runway

    Make the clips

    For visuals with no person on camera, use Runway. Paste in one shot at a time and make a few short clips. If you want a talking presenter instead, use Synthesia and paste in the spoken lines.

    Prompt for Runway (one shot at a time)

    [DESCRIBE ONE SHOT FROM YOUR SCRIPT]. Slow camera push in, soft natural light, realistic look, no text on screen.

Make a song

What you end up with: A song you can play and share on Suno

⏱ About 10 min Free plans, with limits 2 steps Tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Suno

Suno’s free plan lets you make and share songs. There are no monthly downloads on the free plan, and free songs can’t be used commercially.

  1. Step 1 • Claude

    Write the lyrics

    Ask Claude for lyrics with a clear verse and chorus. Change any lines that don’t sound like you. ChatGPT works too.

    Prompt for Claude or ChatGPT

    Write song lyrics about [WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT]. Style: [GENRE]. Mood: [MOOD]. Use 2 verses, a chorus that repeats, and a short bridge. Keep the lines short and easy to sing. Label each part, like [Verse 1] and [Chorus].
  2. Step 2 • Suno

    Turn it into a song

    In Suno, use the custom option so you can paste your own lyrics. Add a short style description. Make a couple of versions and keep the one you like.

    Style description for Suno

    [GENRE], [MOOD], [male / female] vocals, [SLOW / MID / FAST] tempo, [2 OR 3 INSTRUMENTS]

Make a 3D model

What you end up with: A 3D model file for a game or a 3D printer

⏱ About 20 min Free plans work 2 steps Tools: Ideogram, Adobe Firefly, Meshy

Ideogram and Meshy both have free credits. Free Meshy models can be used commercially if you credit Meshy.

  1. Step 1 • Ideogram

    Make a reference picture

    Meshy works best from a clear picture of one object on a plain background. Make one in Ideogram first. Adobe Firefly works too.

    Prompt for Ideogram or Firefly

    A single [OBJECT], full view from the front, centered, plain white background, soft even lighting, no shadows, no text. [CARTOON / REALISTIC] style.
  2. Step 2 • Meshy

    Turn it into a 3D model

    Upload the picture to Meshy’s image to 3D. Spin the result around and check the back and the bottom. Then export the format you need, like STL for printing or GLB for games.

    If you’d rather start from text in Meshy

    A [OBJECT], [CARTOON / REALISTIC] style, [MAIN COLORS], simple shapes, one solid piece, good for [3D printing / a game].

Make a training or product explainer video

What you end up with: A presenter-led onboarding or how-to video from a written script

⏱ About 25 min Free plans, with limits 2 steps Tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Synthesia

Synthesia’s free Basic plan includes 500 credits/mo + your first 10 video minutes (watermarked, share link only). Starter ($19/mo monthly, $14/mo annual, or $9 first month on Deals) unlocks MP4 downloads.

  1. Step 1 • Claude

    Turn your notes into a scene-by-scene presenter script

    AI presenters sound stiff if they read wall-of-text paragraphs. Ask Claude (or ChatGPT) to split your notes into 5 short scenes with natural spoken lines and brief on-screen slide bullets.

    Prompt for Claude or ChatGPT

    Turn these rough notes into a 90-second training or product explainer script for an AI presenter video (about 200-220 spoken words total).
    Audience: [NEW TEAMMATES / CUSTOMERS]
    Topic & key steps: [PASTE NOTES]
    
    Format the output as 5 numbered scenes. For each scene give:
    1. Spoken script (1-3 short, conversational sentences the presenter reads aloud)
    2. On-screen slide headline (max 6 words) and 2-3 short bullet callouts or screen-recording cues.
  2. Step 2 • Synthesia

    Build the scenes and preview before exporting

    Pick a clean template in Synthesia, paste each scene’s spoken lines into the script box, and put the short headline and bullets on the slide canvas. Preview the audio pronunciation before generating the final video.

    If using Synthesia’s AI video assistant prompt box

    Create a 5-scene explainer video about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Use a calm, friendly tone, one clear takeaway per slide, and keep on-screen text under 15 words per scene.

Times are rough. AI tools get things wrong sometimes, so check facts before you share anything.
