DECEMBER 12, 2025

ChatGPT 5.2 has officially been released. Watch closely for the rollout, and let me know what you think! Other than that, we have:

PROMPTS: Bizarre Prompt Experiments, Stress Relief, Using Agents to Organize Your Inbox, and a Prompt to Make Your Resume a Job Magnet

  • Flow-first coding assistant prompt pattern: Mini prompt that precedes any coding request with “show me the flow as numbered steps first, then write the code.” The assistant describes data flow and call order before implementing, making large answers easier to comprehend, debug, hand off, and document.
  • Stress-testing AI with bizarre prompt experiments: Long-form writeup of experiments that deliberately push models to their limits with infinite recursion, mirrored debates, style mashups, impossible maths, deep nesting and constraint overload. The author documents where models collapse, self-correct, simplify, or refuse, revealing surprising meta-awareness and a practical “constraint budget.”
  • Resume evaluator mega-prompt for job seekers: A structured system prompt that turns ChatGPT into a 20‑year veteran hiring manager for your target role. It extracts ideal skills, experience, certifications, and soft traits from any job description, defines red flags, and produces a reusable rubric for grading or rewriting your resume.
  • Inbox classification agent persona and workflow: Tutorial plus ready-made persona for an “Inbox Classification Specialist” agent. It categorises emails into work, finance, personal, marketing, support, or spam, returns short structured summaries, flags low‑confidence cases, and explains how to connect tools like MCP or Gmail APIs for automatic labelling.
  • Using Hooked habit model for AI prompting: Applies Nir Eyal’s Hooked framework—Trigger, Action, Variable Reward, Investment—to ChatGPT. The post turns each stage into reusable prompt stems for building good habits, breaking doomscrolling loops, engineering triggers, and designing full habit systems with AI as a behavioural architect rather than a one‑off tool.
  • Seven ChatGPT prompts for stress relief: Collection of seven copy‑paste prompts that turn ChatGPT into a gentle stress coach: a “stress snapshot,” quick reset, cognitive reframing helper, release ritual, overwhelm triage, energy budget audit, and 30‑day calm routine, all aimed at naming triggers and building sustainable coping habits.
  • Source Verifier anti-hallucination research meta-prompt: Meta‑prompt that makes ChatGPT a “Source Verifier and Research Analyst.” For any topic it must append [Source needed] after every factual sentence, then briefly critique why citations matter—forcing you to treat outputs as drafts to be checked, not unquestioned truth.
  • Howard Schultz-inspired experience design prompt set: Brand‑building thread that translates Howard Schultz’s Starbucks philosophy into prompt questions about third‑place experiences, emotion over transactions, ritual versus efficiency, quality trade‑offs, daily rituals, and staff treatment—turning ChatGPT into an experience‑design consultant for products that aim to feel like communities, not commodities.
  • Mining user complaints for profitable app ideas: Framework post that argues most app ideas fail because they’re invented in isolation. Instead, it shows how to mine startup marketplaces, Reddit threads, app reviews, social support logs and revenue trackers for recurring complaints, then use those pains as validated prompts for new products.

Keevo AI Fixes the Content That's Tanking Your Site

Keevo AI is an AI co‑pilot for content refreshes that finds your decaying pages and rewrites them before they quietly tank your search traffic.

It watches Google Search Console for early drops, runs fresh research, and produces updated drafts in your brand voice backed by sources, so you can quickly review and republish instead of manually re‑auditing every post. It’s built for SEO and content teams, agencies, and solo marketers sitting on large content libraries that are too big to refresh by hand.

It matters because it turns “we should really update that” from a never‑ending backlog into a repeatable, semi‑automated workflow that protects rankings, trust, and visibility in both search and AI surfaces.
