ai case study - how you may help your children get into colleges with chatGPT AI

i have a friend of mine named Amanda and she works as an admission coordinator for a local private high school in los angeles

her sole job at the school is to help coordinate the admissions process for students who are seeking admission to colleges across the nation. she also assists with the application process itself, which includes helping students fill out the necessary paperwork, as well as providing any other guidance they may need to help them apply to college. as well as, writing recommendation letters.

i got to thinking about her lately because about a year ago i asked her if she would potentially help my son with some admission work as we were approaching that part of his life.

she said no problem.

fast forward to today, and i am watching her now juggle a multitude of students all with completely different needs, as well as attempting to keep her own head above water amid a growing pile of admissions related paperwork and other work she has to do for the school as well.

i didn't want to bother her.

so i thought i would pop over to chatGPT and see if it could help me draw up a teacher recommendation letter to UCLA.

this was the prompt:

please write me a college recommendation letter to ucla for a senior in high school who is active in football, the debate team and theatre. this senior also carries a 4.1 gpa, is active in his community with volunteering at the local ymca and also enjoys reading.

and this was the response:

To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing to highly recommend [Name] for admission to UCLA. As [his/her] high school [teacher/counselor], I have had the pleasure of getting to know [Name] over the past four years and have consistently been impressed by [his/her] outstanding character and academic achievements.

[Name] has excelled in both the classroom and extracurricular activities during [his/her] time at [high school name]. In addition to maintaining a 4.1 GPA, [he/she] has been an active member of the football team, debate team, and theater group. [His/Her] dedication to these activities is demonstrated by the leadership roles [he/she] has taken on within each organization.

Outside of school, [Name] has also been an active member of the community, volunteering at the local YMCA and regularly participating in community service events. In addition to [his/her] outgoing personality and commitment to service, [Name] is also an avid reader and takes the time to expand [his/her] knowledge and understanding of the world.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend [Name] for admission to UCLA. I am confident that [he/she] will thrive at the university and make a positive contribution to the campus community.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

now there is no guarantee that this letter is going to get it done for your child. it is however something that would take me some time to craft for my son and chatGPT just took me to the finish line in seconds.

i would now just need to edit the letter and do final revisions before sending it out in a mailing envelope.

ai case study - i used chatGPT to compile a list of features and benefits instantly for a new SaaS

being a successful SaaS owner doesn't mean shit. you can be on top one day and lose your business the next.

most struggle just getting their first product shipped, let alone having it enjoy some success in the market.

that's why i'm always shipping.

one SaaS isn't enough in my opinion. one revenue stream isnt enough. you need to build moats around your life to ensure you and your family are prosperous.

i'm getting ready to launch Squabbble in the coming weeks and then Flight Path

this case study is how i'm shorting my workload but using chatGPT to help me write copy for my new website.

what a lot of folks don't know is that you can feed text into chatGPT and then ask it to summarize or parse information and then reorganize it for you into something that is digestible and to your liking.

because i want to ship fast i was looking to speed up the exhausting process of writing all of the copy for Flight Path's new website. one of the hardest elements of website copy is the feature and benefits sections.

it's the copy that sells the product once the user is visiting your site, so it counts.

in my case, Flight Path is going to ship with some cool features that the other guys don't have but 90% of the application does the same thing as their application. and they will most likely tweak their app to mimic mine once i hit the market.

and that's OK. this is SaaS and this is inevitable and we just have to keep it moving.

so in my case picked three of the top applications i thought i would be competing against soon copied their website text and fed it into chatGPT.

here was the prompt i used to get some ideas for features and benefits in this case

please provide me with a list of features and benefits for a tweet scheduling application: (enter competitors' text from the website)

i did this for all three competitors and here were the outputs:

what chatGPT is great for is "un-blocking" you so you can focus on the things that matter the most which is: speed and execution

what i did next was to hand-pick several of the features and benefits from this master list and run them through Jenni.ai (which i am using actually to write this case study) and tweak the language with their paraphrasing feature

i'll continue to tweak and tweak the message until i feel i get it right and it represents my product. but in the meantime, i've now saved dozens of hours in research and writing!

ideas for chatGPT ( a running list; come back anytime)

write a twitter thread / write a novel /guest speaker Q&A prompts / creating games / dating help / mental health applications / naming products / website copy / translation help / fitness plan routines / writing code / lesson plans for teachers / sourcing podcast guests / responding to online reviews of your company / create interview prep questions / no code recommendation letter service
