Comment Here for ThinkWORKS 89 AI Unleashed Part 4 of 4 Hacks & Strategies
Episode Lands Monday 8th December from 8am.
In the final part of our look at how to get the most from the new generation of A.I. apps, we look at some tips, hacks and strategies (along with prompts) to use in three areas of your business and personal life. I also then go step by step, again including the prompts, of how I used A.I. to compact 6 months of book planning, formulation, breakdowns, design and everything else connected with starting a book, into half a day!
All the prompts in this episode, along with a 90 Day Sprint Plan example discussed in the episode, will be added to the Comments on the post below.

Here are the prompts and questions I used to compress planning my next book, including design, locking down sections, content, chapters and action plans:
Step-by-Step Guide on Using AI for Book Development
Step 1: Initial Concept and Structure
Before you type anything, define the role you want the AI to provide, so for example: "You are my writing buddy and book editor, with decades of experience producing [topic} books. I have come to you to help me brainstorm the content, format and action plans for my next book, which is on the subject of [topic]."
Define the Theme: Decide on the central theme of your book, which in this case is "Conspiracy Theories."
Outline Key Chapters: Identify major conspiracy topics to cover, such as Area 51, Covid-19, Illuminati, etc.
I then began (note, these prompts will work just as well in Chat GPT, Gemini and other AIs):
"Hi GG, I am now thinking about my second book, which will be called something like 'Conspiracy: Waking Up To The Real Mind Control In Our Lives'. I know I need to tighten up the title and I am hoping you can help me. The book will be in two or three segments, and again I am hoping you can help me decide on the format.
So, first up for your input is on the title. I definitely want to have the title start 'Conspiracy:' and I like the idea of having 'Waking Up' as part of what follows. With call this in mind, can you give me some great title ideas that capture the essence of everything here?"
GG gave me 10 possible titles, from which I picked "Conspiracy: Waking Up to the Matrix of Modern Life" (c), and I told her which I had chosen.
GG ended Step 1 by adding:
Step 2: Expand and Refine Ideas
Seek Additional Topics: Use AI to brainstorm additional conspiracy theories to include, expanding your chapter list.
Create Engaging Titles: Develop creative chapter titles to intrigue readers.
Given the depth and scope of your book, structuring it into three parts might be more beneficial. This approach allows for a more detailed exploration of each aspect, providing clarity and depth for your readers. Here's how the three-part structure could work:
(and she gave me my 3 sections, along with titles and brief description. She then concluded:)
This structure not only provides a logical flow but also allows readers to engage with each aspect of conspiracy theories before diving into your unique perspective. It offers a comprehensive journey from understanding to analysis, and finally, to your insightful conclusions.
