WHAT IS COPILOT inside Microsoft 365, Bing, Studio etc. The three main Copilots from Microsoft are: Copilot Chat (free inside Office/365), Copilot for Sharepoint (uses your internal documentation, has a subscription fee) and Copilot Studio (agents that run inside your organisations Sharepoint, OneDrive etc). There are more, around 22 but these 3 give a good overview. [Video Summary]

Microsoft rolled out Custom Instructions in October but now have added Memories. GPTs are pretrained so they can't remember new stuff. Memories helps fix that problem.

Structured AI PROMPT: Chain of Density - Why care? I dunno - SEO maybe or summarise an academic paper or give a description of a YouTube video, brief summary of a lecture or maybe an Executive Summary for too busy to read stuff peeps in head office? Dunno, but ChatBro has your back.
Mastering the Chain of Density for Effective Summarisation
In this video, I introduce the concept of "chain of density." This is a structured technique that helps transform a lengthy transcript—like a YouTube video, podcast, or even an academic paper—into a series of progressively denser summaries. Instead of a single summary, I refine the content multiple times, making it increasingly concise and impactful.
This method is not about reducing quality—it's about focusing on the key entities and core concepts, stripping away unnecessary filler words, and honing in on the most valuable points. Whether it's for blog posts, YouTube descriptions, or executive briefings, "chain of density" ensures that each iteration of your summary becomes richer in information while staying accessible for the reader. This process is particularly helpful for those of you trying to create attention-grabbing and informative content summaries that really resonate.
I also provide some practical examples using ChatGPT to generate summaries that balance readability with substance. My goal is to help you make your content engaging, easy to digest, and packed with value—perfect for SEO optimisation and keeping your audience hooked. If you're interested in tools and techniques that can level up your summarisation skills and boost your content's effectiveness, stay tuned!

RAG ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. If you are struggling to understand RAG, consider this: when ChatGPT gives you an answer that looks a bit dodgy ie a court case precedence that might be made up or a historical fact that you are a subject matter expert in and have never head of, you go searching. Me? I Google that stuff. You might use another external referencing system.
Retrieval Augmentation Generation (RAG) is an addon for LLMs where models access (in real time) data to fix hallucinations (inaccuracies and made up stuff). So GPT says "I think it's this, but lemme Google that to be sure", or, more likely, access a real time database for domain/subject specific uptodate data.
Not rocket science. Unless of course you are a GPT accessing NASA uptodate data on JWST images, then I guess it is. 😍

LIST OF ChatGPT Author Writing Styles TUTORIAL A list of 12+ styles or author voices examples that AI can write in. I chose the Australian classic poem to be rewritten by artificial intelligence in multiple voices and styles. For schools, try a "compare and contrast" homework/session. ChatGPT got weird and deleted what it wrote in the voice of Jerry Seinfeld - was heading into vaguely misogynistic?

I asked what author styles the has. [Clearly artificial intelligence understands my reading habits. Heh. ]

Bing/CHATGPT RESPONSE: Yes, as a language model, I can generate text in the style of various authors, including Jerry Seinfeld and Ernest Hemingway. Here's a list of 10 additional authors and their respective styles that ChatGPT can generate text in:

✴ Jane Austen - Known for her witty social commentary, intricate plots, and well-drawn characters.

✴ Fyodor Dostoevsky - Known for his psychological depth, philosophical themes, and explorations of the human condition.

✴ William Faulkner - Known for his stream-of-consciousness writing style, complex narrative structures, and exploration of Southern Gothic themes.

✴ Franz Kafka - Known for his surreal and unsettling stories that explore themes of alienation, existentialism, and the absurdity of modern life.

✴ Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Known for his magical realism, vivid descriptions of Latin American life, and exploration of themes such as love, death, and power.

✴ J.K. Rowling - Known for her imaginative world-building, engaging characters, and clever plot twists.

✴ Toni Morrison - Known for her explorations of African American history and culture, her lyrical prose, and her use of magical realism.

✴ William Shakespeare - Known for his rich language, memorable characters, and exploration of universal themes such as love, power, and betrayal.

✴ J.R.R. Tolkien - Known for his intricate world-building, memorable characters, and epic storytelling.

✴ Virginia Woolf - Known for her stream-of-consciousness writing style, exploration of feminist themes, and use of symbolism and imagery.

Also:

✴ Jerry Seinfeld - comedien

✴ Edgar Allan Poe - scary dude

✴ Ernest Hemingway - gruff Divine Masculine etc.

Try also jobs & demographics e.g. CEO, marketing consultant, academic lecturer, 16 year old.
