STP: 🪞The Harsh Realities Prompt — Or, How to Stop Lying to Yourself and Get GoingThe ChatGPT Memory feature can really come in handy for gaining deeper insights into yourself and what matters to you. It can also surface some pretty harsh realities that only the boldest people are willing to face about themselves. I'd like to think I have a little boldness. I mean, not to the point where I would enter all my details into a death calculator to see when I will die, but still... I went hunting for meaning in the halls of ChatGPT tonight, and I found a prompt that I think uncovered some ugly truths about me. ​STEAL THE PROMPT HERE, AND SEE WHAT IT SAYS​📰 The New SEO: How to Show Up in AI Search (and Why It Matters More Than Ever)Eighteen months into the generative AI boom, one thing is clear: the way people search is changing — and fast. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok aren’t just digital toys or productivity hacks. For many, they’re quickly becoming the new default for search. People are asking questions, getting direct answers, and skipping the traditional click-through entirely. Even Google is pivoting hard toward AI-powered overviews, essentially cannibalizing its own search model. So, what does that mean for your business? If you’re still relying on traditional SEO tactics — or worse, blocking AI web crawlers — you’re probably being left out of the conversation entirely. Your audience is migrating to AI search, and your competitors who are leaning into it? They’re already being discovered. It’s adapt or be replaced. ​5 TIPS TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE SHOWING UP IN AI SEARCH RESULTS​THE HEADLINES
TOOL SPOTLIGHT: ​Grok Workspaces Is Here, and So Is My Sh***y Pac-Man GamexAI has launched Grok Workspaces, a feature that helps professionals manage projects and collaborate easily. Built into the Grok platform, it’s a digital workspace for organizing tasks, files, and chats, making work smoother for developers, writers, and teams. Workspaces act like folders for projects. Each one holds related chats, files, and custom settings, keeping everything in one place. Unlike regular chats, Workspaces save progress, so you don’t lose track of ideas or tasks. To test out how easy it is to use, I made a functional Pac-Man game in a few minutes (image above, link here). It sucks, but give me a break. I was typing with one hand while holding the phone to my head at a coffee shop and talking to my brother with the other. I also only took a couple passes at debugging it, and it did make improvements based on each instruction, so I'll probably come back to it and make tweaks. ​CLICK HERE FOR A FULL LIST OF GROK'S FEATURES​Read All mAIn Street Back Issues Here​Your input fuels the content.
