Tons of Great Prompt Tips for Non-Techie Professionals

Conor Grennan is Dean of MBA Students, NYU Stern School of Business and Head, GenerativeAI@Stern. He is also a NY Times bestselling author and TEDx Speaker.

A self-defined “non-techie”, Conorhas sharing dozens of great ChatGPT prompts and AI tools via his Linkedin posts, which has generated thousands of views and followers.

Two great quotes:

“Saying we’re ‘too busy to learn ChatGPT’ is like saying we’re too busy to get the truck out of the garage because we gotta carry all these bricks across town.”

“I have zero tech skills, and I use ChatGPT over 50 times a day”

Some examples of his ChatGPT/Generative AI Tips

• Your Data: Instantly analyzed (Just don’t share data you don’t want shared…)
  
  We ran a GenerativeAI@Stern session for MBA students at NYU Stern. My colleague Sarah Ryan and I used ChatGPT to analyze post-survey feedback.
  DO THIS: Copy and paste any spreadsheet data into ChatGPT (not confidential data!). It will look messy, don’t worry. Ask ChatGPT to give insights, percentages, pull out interesting quotes, then put it all into an easy-to-read chart. Huge time saver and fantastic work quality.

• Practice tough conversations (They can get easier)
  
  Stop rehearsing that hard conversation with your colleague in your head - it will drive you crazy.
  DO THIS: Describe your colleague and your relationship with them to ChatGPT. Describe the issue. Tell it to act as that colleague and respond realistically. Amp up their defensiveness. Afterwards, ask ChatGPT how you did and what you could have done differently.

• Your Personal IT Help Desk
  
  Our IT people probably love my panicked “Gah! Where did I save my document??” but I think they have other stuff to do.
  DO THIS: Open Bing. Confirm it understands your IT question. Printer not connecting? Can’t sync your data to the cloud? Compressing a video? Bing will walk you through it and troubleshoot until it’s fixed.

• Your New, Non-Negotiable Office Rule (Get a pen ready…)
  
  DO THIS: Stick a note to your computer that says “If a meeting is happening that even *might* involve strategizing, you MUST open a ChatGPT browser and use it at least once, no matter what.”
  If you fail to do so, you must wear a giant sign around the office that reads “I am a Strategy Demi-God Who Needs No Help. Avert Your Gaze!” See who wants to grab Fresh&Co with you now.

• ChatGPT is a spreadsheet nerd (Ha ha NERD!!)
  
  Got your personal finances/budget/ANYTHING in a spreadsheet? 
  DO THIS: Copy and paste your spreadsheet into ChatGPT. It might look a bit wonky. Type “Give me insights.” ChatGPT will recommend how to prioritize debt, highlight changes in spending, and analyze all kinds of stuff. Unsure what to ask? Type “What other questions should I ask about this?”
