Setting Up a FB ad for the 1st time
So I decided after 18 months of starting my business to use FB ads and it was quite involved to set up my first ad. When I was finished I told the AI to create a users guide for the process I just went through and I have all the screen shots I used for setting up my first ad and can have the AI add those to the document as well. This can be turned into a .pdf and I could choose to sell it online for a small fee. This would save someone a few hours of time to be able to understand all the nuances of getting the ads set up properly in the beginning. Just an idea I wanted to share with you all for ways to use AI to create marketable .pdfs you can then charge for. You can see the first page of the document the AI created. I used ChatGPT 5.6 Sol.

Julie, the places where you got stuck are probably the most valuable part of that guide. A screenshot plus 'here's what confused me and how I got past it' can save someone a lot of guessing. We create courses too, and I like building from an actual job you've just done. Would you have a beginner follow the guide while you watch, to see where it still needs explaining? What was the most confusing step for you?

@Julie Helmer Having the screenshots saved is a useful head start, Julie. When you have a little time, adding the one for the step that confused you most could be enough to improve the first version. Hope you get a chance to finish it without it becoming another huge job.
Dot Has Completely Changed How I Develop My Programs
I have to say, I’m seriously impressed with what ChatGPT can do now with Dot. Before Dot, I actually asked ChatGPT if it could execute commands directly on my NAS because the NAS had its own IP address and was accessible on my network. At the time, the answer was basically no. ChatGPT could give me the commands, but I still had to sit at the keyboard, copy them, paste them into the NAS, bring the results back, then repeat the whole process again. That was always the frustrating part for me. Now with Dot, that has completely changed. I can explain what I want done in normal conversation and ChatGPT can work directly through the development process, execute the required work, check the results, find problems, make corrections and continue testing without me having to manually enter every command on the keyboard. For me, this is huge. I’m not a software developer. I know what I want my program to do and I’ve been building it with ChatGPT, but I don’t want to spend hours copying commands between ChatGPT and a terminal. With Dot, it feels like ChatGPT has gone from telling me **how** to do the work to actually being able to **do the work with me**. That is a massive difference. I can give it the direction, set the boundaries and let it work through the development and testing while I concentrate on what I actually want the program to achieve. I’ve been waiting for this type of AI capability for a long time, and seeing it actually work is pretty exciting. Anyone else here using Dot this way for developing their own programs or working directly with their NAS/server?

George, I can see why getting out of the copy-paste cycle feels like a big step. Coming from construction, I'm used to knowing what the finished job needs to do even when somebody else handles part of the work. I use AI for books and courses now, and that part still matters. What program are you building, and what's one thing you test yourself before calling a version ready?
Stop Thinking You Need a Brand-New Content Idea Every Day
One good idea can become an entire content series when you know how to use ChatGPT strategically. Instead of constantly asking yourself, “What am I going to post today?” take one strong topic from your niche and ask ChatGPT to help you develop it from different angles. One topic can become: • A short educational TikTok • A longer explanation or tutorial • A myth-vs-fact post • A beginner’s guide • A list of common mistakes • An FAQ • A personal-story angle • A discussion or controversial question • Instagram and Facebook posts • Follow-up videos based on comments and questions You can also ask ChatGPT to develop hooks, talking points, captions and calls to action while keeping everything consistent with your voice and audience. This isn’t about having AI replace your creativity. You’re still bringing the knowledge, experience, personality and perspective. AI simply helps you expand and organize it. Before searching for another idea, look at the one you already have and ask: “How many different ways can I teach, explain, demonstrate or discuss this?” You may already be sitting on a week’s worth of content.

Xaysha, I'd keep the first test small: one question your audience asks, one helpful answer, and one place to post it. Your original idea already gives you plenty to work with. No need to learn every tool before seeing whether that first answer helps somebody. What do you teach or help people with? We make courses, so I'm interested in how people choose the first question to tackle.

Prompts
Is Prompt Engineering Dying in the Wake of AI Agents? 🤔
Okay… I had a little holy s#!t moment talking to my friend Abdul the other day. 😂 Me: “Dude… I think Prompt Engineering may be going the way of the DOS prompt.” He looked at me like I was high on caffeine!! 😂 Me: "hear me out…Remember DOS with the C Prompt? || C:\>_ Back then, you actually had to KNOW the commands to make your computer do what you wanted. Then Microsoft Windows came along. Point. Click. Drag. Drop. Windows didn't kill DOS, it just put a much easier and prettier layer on top of DOS soOoo users can do their work effortlessly. You didn't have to think about what was happening underneath. And now I'm wondering… "Are AI Agents becoming the Windows layer for prompting?" Today: You → Clever Prompt → AI → Answer But imagine Tomorrow: You → Instruct Your AI Agent → Agent gets work done You don't necessarily have to figure out the perfect prompt anymore. You just say: > “Hey, build me a marketing campaign for my 3-Day Vibe Code Workshop.” And your Agent figures out the prompts, breaks down the task, uses the tools, does the work and comes back when it needs you.🤯 That's a pretty big shift!! So maybe I'm wrong and Prompt Engineering isn't actually dying. Maybe it's becoming the DOS prompt underneath the new AI Agent layer?? Just like Windows hid the complexity of DOS… AI Agents may hide the complexity of prompting. And if that's where we're heading, maybe the new skill isn't: “How do I write the perfect prompt?” Maybe the new skill is gonna be: “How do I direct an AI Agent to build out the full workflow?" Hmmmm… 🤔 Am I onto something here, or am I high on caffeine??? 😂👇

@Briana White That’s useful to hear from someone new. What was the first thing you got it to help you finish? I’m working on making lessons easier for beginners, and the moment someone gets a result they can actually use tells me more than a long list of features.

@Waltraud Riesner Good point about keeping the basics. If you were teaching a new person, what would you want them to understand first even with the easier interface? For me it’s being able to explain what a useful finished result would look like and check whether they got it.
Just came up with a way to improve project instructions!
I doubt this is a brand new thought, but I figured I’d share it here since we’ve talked about project instructions quite a bit. I’m relaunching my blog and plan on using ChatGPT to write the articles. BUT I didn’t want information that isn’t mine in any of my posts. They’ll be my work, I’m just using AI to help with phrasing and so on. So I linked my project folders where I work on my content, linked my website, and gave specific instructions to only use info that I give and my sources. Once a detailed outline is set, it can suggest outside info and include links so I can verify it. Secondary sources are flagged as such and social media only info is also flagged. Then I opened a new chat in the project folder and asked ChatGPT to review the instructions for clarity and tell me its interpretation of them. After I reviewed that I asked for any suggested additions to the instructions. It had some great ones! After I reviewed it all, I asked for all suggestions to be listed together so I could copy and paste them. As a result, I have a VERY long set of instructions for my blog project folders that will help me and keep it authentically me!

Betsy, I’m organizing my own business material for AI to use too. Keeping it grounded in that material matters to me. What helped most—naming the exact sources it could use or making it point out anything it couldn’t verify?
