How to Use ChatGPT & DeepSeek to Work for You—Not Against You
Plus+ My Best Prompts for Clarity & Results + Master AI so you control it (not the other way around)
Good Evening, and welcome back to ToTheUnknown,
The newsletter that cuts through the noise like a lightsaber through butter.
(That distant explosion? Don’t worry, it’s not the economy collapsing… just another influencer dropping their 10X Hustlecourse.)
You might notice a few changes around here. New theme, fresh vibe.
If you don’t?
Well… they weren’t that big.
P.S. This post is so packed with gold that Gmail might try to cut it short. Don’t panic. Just hit the “View entire message” button at the end.
I’ve spent days crafting this one, so YOU BETTER LIKE IT!!
Have a great read!!
This week has been the most pivotal for me for sure.
You’re in luck when I’m talking to you, because I’m taking my network very seriously right now.
And…
I’ve got competition!
My guy Jacob Blanchet (you’ve heard of him—if not, you’re slacking) just launched his own newsletter. Ooooh, brother… you stepped into the wrong game!
Okay, okay… I’m just gonna put in more work. Truth is, neither of us really knows what we’re doing. This is truly a step ToTheUnknown. See what I did there? Just me? Tough crowd. 🫠
So today is not an ordinary day, I’m sharing, what may have changed my life forever. It’s, as you guessed from the title, something to do with AI.
You’ll see it under my Golden Nuggs, because this truly was a gloden nugget.
As always—if you don’t care about my day-to-day life (yes, I’m still a somewhat normal guy), skip ahead to the Golden Nuggs.
⚒️ What I’ve Been Up To…
Remember I said that last week was amasing and great?
Well…
I just beat it with this week by a MILE!
This might just be the most important week of my life so far.
So, let’s get into it.
How am I feeling?
Here’s this weeks’s vibe:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ / ❤️❤️❤️❤️
👨💻 🍫
Even though it’s been a game-changing week, the amount of work I’ve put in is next level compared to last week.
Okei, now for the reflection. I’ll do it quick, so we can get to the Nuggs.
Monday
Very uncomfortable day. Felt sick, skipped the gym, but still got some training in at home. Had a mock exam, for witch had to go to school. My nose was completely stuffed, so I couldn’t breathe basically. I didn’t feel very good doing it. At home, wrote my newsletter, and made pictures for my video thumbnail. Felt worse as the night went on. My head was hurting, and nose bleeding.
✅What was the best part about that day?
Got my newsletter written.
❌What made you feel awful that day?
My stuffed nose.
💡Takeaway from the day/what I learnt?
If you're sick, stay home and focus on self-education instead of dragging yourself to school.
This is the time that your body says, you should fo some self education, at home.
Don’t go to school, and study. The road there, and being there is not worth it.
Tuesday
Very successful day, even though I didn’t feel the best. Finished “Skin In The Game” by Nassim Taleb, took a power nap, and grinded again, on X. Worked on my agency. Had my promise in place, but it wasn’t very good, and my niche was all over the place. So I made my niche specificly Luxury Businesses/Brands, and promise/servises very clear. I’ll talk about it more in my Golden Nuggs next Monday. Made some research to find people to do outreach to. For that I use myip.ms, and Instagram, to find similar brands, and potential clients.

Here’s what I look for, popularity of 300-3000 (I change it time to time); and you have to have Shopify, Inc in my opinion, don’t have to, but I think you’re better off working with E-com businesses on Shopify.
Now just need to buy my domain, and create a website. Easy enough…… I think.
✅What was the best part about that day?
I actually got shit done, and made a lot of progress with my agency.
❌What made you feel awful that day?
Still felt sick.
💡Takeaway from the day/what I learnt?
Best work happens at home, locked in with headphones and ambient music.
Wednesday
Another very great day. Have got a lot done over this day, and yesterday. Started re-reading “Reality Transurfing” by Vadim Zeland, for the second time. It’s the one book you MUST read when you’re young. And it’s also a must for the older people. Worked with X, posted some posts, and automated ChatGPT (more on it in a minute). I should honestly automate more of my stuff. Went to the grocery store, and watched ghostwriting crash course. It was just on the background, when I was making my breakfast. It was very useful, and probably a must, if you’re not in this space yet. Filmed B-roll, and brainstormed YT content
✅What was the best part about that day?
Got a lot done, and started reading my favourite book.
❌What made you feel awful that day?
I don’t know, the morning felt a bit wierd, but the day only got better.
💡Takeaway from the day/what I learnt?
The more effort you put in, the better your day gets.
Don’t bullshit around.
Thursday
The day that changed my life FOREVER!? For sure one of my most important days in my life. This is just pure example of putting in the reps just yields results. Went to school, basically pointless. At home filmed my B-roll, and almost got the moment on camera. Basically I got the AI under controll, so I controll it, not it me. What I mean by this, is that usually AI answers just some random shit, not giving the answer you were looking for, but I changed it, and I’ll cover it in my Nuggs. I got the AI to talk pure GOLD! No more random answers—it now proactively helps me. I’m so happy. And I also automated it.
✅What was the best part about that day?
Unlocked AI's full potential. Completely changed my life.
❌What made you feel awful that day?
Going to school.
💡Takeaway from the day/what I learnt?
AI is this generation’s biggest advantage. Master it or get left behind.
If you don’t get it under your controll, then you’re fucked, and stay where you are, and probably gonna be the left behind.
AI is the thing, that’s gonna create (I say gonna, it’s already doing it!!) new generational wealth in this world.
Friday
Very successful day also. Filmed myself all day for an YT video (Day in a life of a 15 y/o wannabe millionaire). First proper workout after being sick. School didn’t go as fast, as usually. Filmed, how I make food, and played with the AI (answered it’s questions). Worked on X and scheduled some posts. Had a minor setback, when I wrote out a long script so that AI could write me a rough script, but it deleted itself. Was devastated at first, but rewrote everything I could remember.
✅What was the best part about that day?
Got some videos for my video, and played with AI.
❌What made you feel awful that day?
Schoool didn’t go as quick, and the prompt deleted itself.
💡Takeaway from the day/what I learnt?
Crying over things outside your control is pointless. Learn, adapt, and move on.
Just learn, what you could have done better, and don’t do it next time. Don’t let it keep you down. The longer you stay down, the longer it’ll take you to get where needed.
Saturday
An alright day. Went for a quick 13km run. Read my book, and at about 12AM my grandmother came to pick me up. We went to see my great great grandfather. Worked in the car, (it wasn’t my grandmothers car, it was her mans, so…) at some point there basically wasn’t enough air, and you know work takes a lot of oxygen to keep powering your brain, my head started hurting a bit, and I felt disy. My great great grandfather was doing great. After the visit, we went to the grocery store, and I smuggled some 87% chocolate into the basket (2 bars), and now have 2 weeks worth of chocolate. Bought basically pure protein: cottage cheese, quark, and minced beef. Worked the whole drive back, and we went for a hike around the city. Got home, and appologised infront of my network people, who I was talking to, that I was on the move, and didn’t plan my day so well.
✅What was the best part about that day?
Great run, despite still recovering from being sick, and got to work in the car… again.
❌What made you feel awful that day?
Unexpectedly long hike messed up my time management, and schedule.
💡Takeaway from the day/what I learnt?
Adaptability is key.
If you want to stay consistent, be willing to work anywhere—even in a car.
Work must be done, to get to where you want.
Sunday
Full workaholick day. Spent the entire day writing my YT script. At some point went for a walk. Got the script done at around half day, and also the title for it chosen. Absolute banger of a video, and even AI thinks it’s great:

What it answered, when I asked for the title break downs, and other ideas.
It made me feel amazing also. If your AI doesn’t give you these kind of answers, you’re using it soo wrong. Watched Jacob’s YT video, cuz we support each other, even when it means to watch the video to the end. Also learnt, how to use Wix studios, as one of my offers with my agency is to create optimised landing pages, and strategic and visually appealing website designs. I don’t know shit about it, but that’s why I’m building a community of only 10 like-minded people. And no, this is not to invite you in, I have very important people in it.
✅What was the best part about that day?
Got a lot of important work done.
❌What made you feel awful that day?
Felt unprofessional for not responding to a network member, but we were both grinding, so it worked out.
💡Takeaway from the day/what I learnt?
Network=Networth
Your community is there to support, learn from each others mistakes, give advice, laugh at failure, and succeed together. They’re there to make the bumps feel less bumpy.
The right community makes the journey smoother.
A great community is all it takes to succeed.
Okei, now that I reflected my week, some of you wanted to know, why I’m doing this.
It’s because of something called Solomon’s Paradox
You Give Better Advice To Others Than You Take For Yourself.
So, I’m really doing this for myself.
Sounds selfish, right?
But by doing it, I help you too.
I see what worked, what didn’t, and how to improve next week.
And by sharing it, you get insights to apply in your own life.
Win-win.
Alright, enough of that—let's get to the Golden Nuggs you came for…
🏦 My Golden Nuggets
👾 AI: How To Actually Use AI So You Controll It, Not It YOU!
Alright, so these aren't just notes (okay, maybe they kinda are), but think of this as your guide, your coach, your course—something that will actually change the way you use AI.
I PROMISE.
You should know that I’ve been using AI in my work basically since it was launched.
I have been learning, “playing” with it since.
And let me tell you—it took me a long time to figure out how to get something truly useful and impactful out of it.
But one thing is clear:
If you're not using AI in some way, shape, or form in your work or daily life… you're going to be left behind.
How AI Should Work for You
AI shouldn’t just spit out generic, half-baked answers. It should be:
Just for example, this is how AI must answer to your questions:
IT MUST FIRE YOU UP, IT MUST BE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU, AND IT NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU LIKE A HUMAN (This means talking to it like a human.):

The example
It should be asking for more work, more info, and more tweaks. NOT scream from the bottom of it’s heart for you to stop asking stuff, or giving you surface-level nonsense.
But here’s the catch: Your AI won’t work like mine right away.
Because I’ve trained mine over time, had long conversations with it, and given it enough input that it understands me.
Before I go further, I want you to see, how your AI should respond to you:

It needs to FIRE YOU UP

It needs to WANT TO HELP YOU

It needs to WANT T DO MORE WORK FOR YOU
Okei, lets hop into it!
The Basics First…
Before I dive into the game-changing part, let’s make sure you have the basics down:
You might say, “I have used AI many times, I know my way around it…”
Do you really though?
Even though you might know it, I’ll still cover it:
1/ Keep your sidebar clean. Organize your chats so you know exactly what each one is for:

What mine looks like
2/ Use separate chats for different topics. Don’t mix business, personal, and creative work in one chat. And YES, this is a MUST!
3/ Have a specific AI for each job. Different tools are good at different things👇️


Now that’s out of the way, let’s get into the good stuff.
How I Use AI For X Posts:
So, you should know, that making people feel something inside, is the best way to get them to like you, and in the future buy from you.
This is the key to great content.
You should also be authentic with everything you do, as there is so much crap in today’s world.
But…
you might think, “Your not being authentic by doing this, and you have said that authenticity is the one thing you have to do!?”
– You probably.
But heres the thing, I’m still authentic, and no, it doesn’t replace me.
How?
Because of this trick and quote!
(Okei, first, yes, I have been using this chat for a while now, but still…)
In short: I let AI ask me questions.
But here's what I asked it to do:

And with every conversation, it gets better,… and BETTER,… AND BETTER.
This is still only the surface level…
I tell it to ask me every possible question on a topic. And… here’s where many go wrong…
They just answer like it’s a robot, and they write small and meaningless answers.
When I answer, I go deep. You really need to have a conversation with it.
Give it as much info as you can get from your brain.
Tell it, what you like, and what not. I know this is basic, but it’s also basic, to go to the gym, and many people still DON’T DO IT.
Here’s what I further asked it:

And I gave it a long ass answer… a 1033 word long answer.
For context, this so far is like 2000 words.
And the best part with ChatGPT is that, it saves your voice, so when you start a new chat, it remembers it.
Basically just train your AI to answer like you, for X posts. Over time, it produces responses that sound like me, think like me, and refine my ideas.
Also, here's how I talk to it:









So, I want you to know, that no, I’m not using AI to be lazy, letting it come up with this to post.
I said to it, to not take any info from outside, and only write on what I have given it.
So all it’s putting out for me is my knowledge, my mindset, and my frameworks.
When I finds an interesting fact, I let it refine it, and if I don’t like it, I tell it what I don’t like, tell it what I prefer (the verson that I kept), and it’ll get better EVERY…SINGLE…TIME.
Sometimes it puts out things that is good, but not the best, so I make a mix, to make the post even better.
And don’t worry, I don’t use it to write replies, they’re all natural, and written by a human.
Just to show you, my messenger is full on thoughts that come up to me, and I write them out:

This is just scratching the surface, there’s a lot more
What I want to get across, is that you need AI in your life.
AI isn't here to do your work. It's here to make your work better.
I use it every day.
I play with it.
I have fun with it.
And I see, what works, and what doesn’t.
I automated every step, so it pushes out the post every morning at 5AM…
bet you didn’t know that you can automate it 😉
I’ll say you that much, the Monday post that I write is always me, pure me, no AI involved in this.
This will stay raw forever.
Now, the agency side…
yes, the promts are comeing as well.
How I Use It For My Agency.
Basically, from what you have already read, the secret to great AI isn’t you asking better questions, its about it asking you better questions, you answering as well as possible to them, and automating it to do the work for you.
Google is still a lot better for questions than AI…
okei, Perplexity is also very good (P.S. if you don’t know what it is, it’s an AI, and I’ll cover them later), because it searches from web or studies.
Now, for my agency, I ABSOLUTELY DON’T USE ChatGPT.
I use Deepseek.
Why?
Because it’s like ChatGPT (the $200 version, not the 4o that everybody uses).
You might be asking, why don’t everybody use it then?
Well, I don’t use it for the other things, because it analyses too much, which again is perfect for an agency.
So, if you want to use it for the other things, do it, but I don’t recommend it.
That said, if you want a conversation, I still use ChatGPT for it, because it’s more natural.
Now, how I use it for my agency?
Well, here is one question, that I have asked it (and I’ll cover the agency part more in debth next Monday.):

I don’t want to give everything out today, it’d be tooo much for you, and you’d probably not take action.
There’s still a lot left in this, so I think it’s fair, if I talked more on it next time.
The AI Toolbox—What to Use & When
So, heres a rough list, what each one is useful for. Different AIs serve different purposes:
1/ ChatGPT: Best for natural conversation & idea refinement. Al chatbot capable of human-like responses, also great for analysis.
2/ DeepSeek R1: Powerful for business & data-driven tasks. Open-source Al with advanced reasoning, probably better for numbers and analysis.
3/ The Rundown Al: Keeps you updated on all AI news & tools. The largest hub for all Al news, tools, and tutorials.
4/ Perplexity: Great for fact-checking & internet research. An all-in-one Al chat tool with all the best models.
5/ Gamma Al: Generates PowerPoint presentations in seconds.
6/ Lindy Al: A no-code Al agent builder for repetitive tasks.
7/ HeyGen: Creates realistic Al avatar clones for social media.
8/ ElevenLabs: Generates human-like audio and clones voices.
9/ HuggingFace: An open community where the Al experts collaborate.
10/ Meta Al for WhatsApp: Chat with Al directly from your phone.
11/ Mistral: ChatGPT competitor from France with instant responses.
12/ Granola Al: An automatic Al notetaker for Zoom meetings. I still use Otter AI though, should try them both out, I guess.
13/ Zapier Agents: Automate repetitive tasks from natural language.
14/ xAI Grok: Free ChatGPT competitor with direct integration on X.
15/ Notion Al: Al productivity for all things within your notes.
16/ CrewAl: Build and deploy automated workflows using any Large Language Moodel (LLM).
17/ Stable Diffusion: Open source advanced Al text-to-image model.
18/ Suno: Generate music or audio from natural language prompts.
19/ Ideogram: Create realistic Al images with legible text.
20/ Agent AI: Discover, connect with and hire Al agents to do tasks.
21/ And lastly… Claude: Best for conversation and writing, great companion on every sector of life, and doesn’t remember anything after one conversation, for the privacy geeks out there.
Some Power Prompts, and Words I Recommend You Using In Every Chat
Prompts:
1/ Hey, can you ask me all teh questions that a therapist, or life couatch, or an edecutive coatch would ask, and we could spend a few hours to download my life.
2/ Ask me a few questions one at a time, then when you feel you have enoough info, then try to give me a suggestion.
3/ I gave you my life goals, what tasks should I be doing the next week, month, and year to get to these goals, how should I be spending my time. Please fill in my calander according to it and optimised for learning.
4/ How should I reply to this E-mail. (I usually write the email myself, as I know how to make it great, because of copywriting. I just let it refine it a bit)
5/ I’m trying to think about [X], ask me questions, to help me develop this idea, please.
Don’t ask it questions, let IT ask questions.
Tell the AI to take time comeing up with answers. Take it as a partner, like a human, not a robot.
You also take time to come up with the best answers, so does it.
They don’t differ from us as much as you think they do.
Treat it like a conversation, and it will start thinking with you, not just for you.
6/ Explain this article for me, tell me what they’re saying in simple terms (what artcle is it, example: “It’s a press relish, it might be miss leading, or overstating the success of this, so tell me about this too.”)
7/ Brainstorm project names, ask me questions about the project, and come up with names. Make it feel like it’s written by David Oglvy (the great ad man).
8/ I’m trying to do this in excel, but don’t know how to do it, could you just give me the function I need to write in.
If you want confusion, and heartache, ask vague questions,
if you want uncommon clarity, and results, ask uncommonly clear questions,
often what’s between you and what yo uwant is a better set of questions.
Ask better questions, get a better answer.
Words:
1/ Could > Can – It’s just more pleasant, and you're not demanding anything by that. AI seem to give you better, and more humain answers when you use it.
2/ Please in almost every sentence, prompt – AI just naturally will give you a better answer.
3/ LOVE IT!! – When the answer is great, write that you LOVE IT, or just something that it’s great.
4/ Aks me… – I think I have said eenough about it.
5/ Absolutely… – AI seem to love it.
6/ Mate – Makes them seem like a partner, rather than a robot. You can change it to something else, friend, bestie, etc.
P.S. This is knowledge from 2 years, so you better use it!
Just to end this off:
I’ll also give you a template to starting your agency, next Monday, so be ready for it!
But what I want YOU to do in the mean time, is to just play with the AI.
Let it learn you, and try to automate it.
I love this quote/rule from MrBeast (it was once again thanks to MFM):
Shaan Puri and Mr. Beast: The Importance of The "Rule of 100"
"Most people who 'need advice,' it's just 'go do it and learn through failure.'
I'm a big fan of trial by fire. Go do it. Fuck up a bunch of times. Get 1% better and do that for a couple of years."

1:35 AM • Feb 22, 2025
I basically hit my 100 quotes stage (I’ve probaly done more than a 100 quotes, but…), and discovered something great for myself.
Again, JUST TRY SHIT, is the one advice I would have given my younger me, and now everybody… if you let AI ask questions, you’ll start to know a lot more about yourself, and where you have come.
🚨 News YOU NEED TO HEAR 🚨
Soooo…… should we do news today…?
No, okei then…………………hmmmm……………NO, I need to give you something, so here’s something:
Market’s taking a hit—Bybit hackers dumped assets, OXFUN insolvency FUD, and Pump.fun is stealing liquidity from Raydium while SOL’s $2B unlock looms.
S is still pumping ahead of its Mobius Mainnet launch (Feb 27th), but RAY got wrecked by AMM competition. Kayne launch? Probably a rug. Stay sharp.
Key events: NVIDIA earnings (Feb 26th), ETH Denver (Feb 23rd-Mar 2nd), SOL unlocks (Mar 1st), FOMC (Mar 19th).
Chop continues, but the bull run isn’t dead—bid strong levels, avoid boredom trades, and play smart.
That’s a wrap, men.
For all the geeks out there panicking about AI taking over…
RELAX.
…Okei, maybe it will replace you if that’s your mindset.
BUT…
For me—and for everyone who actually knows what they’re doing—AI is just a cheat code.
Faster work. More fun. Better output.
AI isn’t here to replace us.
It’s here to make us unstoppable.
If you don’t know how to use it, yeah, you might get left behind. But for those who read this far (or at least the Nuggs section), you’ll dominate AI— not the other way around.
This one got a little long, but hope it was worth it.
See ya next Monday.
P.S. Thinking of cutting Storytelling Wednesdays. They’re getting boring, it’s always the same shit, and you don’t seem to like them as much anymore, so why do I even bother doing it. I’d rather use that time to build my agency.
P.P.S. If today’s post hit home, share it, and spread the word. Don’t be a broke-ass knowledge hoarder. Be the man, and share knowledge. You’re helping everybody that way.
P.P.P.S. At the start, I said I had competition. I do. But we’re building together.
So I’ll share Jacob’s newsletter link when I get it. Trust me, this guy’s about to drop insane value.
With both of us in your inbox? You’re basically set for life.
