One of My Fav ChatGPT Uses Remains One of the Simplest

ChatGPT and its competition can do all kinds of things that'll leave you jaw agape, amazed, excited, and kind of terrified about what it could mean to your long-term job prospects.

However, one of its best uses (and my favorite) remains one of its simplest: making difficult concepts approachable and understandable on my level.

I recently used it successfully in untangling the knots of confusion regarding digital assets like NFTs, Bitcoin, and Blockchain.

I should say, to start, that I know jack squat about digital assets. I mean, I know they exist. I own a couple.

But ask me to explain why they're important, and you end up with a scene not unlike the underpants gnomes from South Park laying out their path to profitability.

I've heard President Trump touch on the US becoming the world leader in the realm of digital assets for the last six months. Sounds good, but what the heck does it actually mean?

Since this is the week the so-called GENIUS Act will likely be passed, it was a good time to get to the bottom of it. So, I took this screenshot and went to work:

Not gonna lie. I've felt dumb for not knowing any more than I do. But luckily, ChatGPT had my back, and it met me where I was in my understanding without feeding me a bunch of other links that may or may not be relevant.

​HERE ARE 2 PROMPTS I USED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT​

Anvil: Make Your Brand Unmissable in AI Search

Traditional SEO stops at Google, but today’s buyers are asking ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for product advice.

​Anvil shows exactly how often—and how favorably—those models mention you versus your competitors, then pinpoints the “white-space” prompts where you should be showing up but don’t. A live dashboard tracks brand visibility trends, surfaces high-value topics ranked by estimated LLM search volume, and suggests concrete fixes—from content ideas to citation and structured-data tweaks—so your team can boost share of voice in AI-generated answers.

Think of it as modern GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): measure, compare, and actively shape how large language models talk about you before your rivals do.
