Hello there,
The past few weeks, the launch of ChatGPT has shook the internet.
What is Chat GPT?
Imagine if Google was smarter, and it could chat like a person. It’s quite impressive 🤯
Think of ChatGPT as an AI that you can converse with. A bit of a digital assistant that can do basic intellectual tasks. The beauty of this tool is that you can give it complex parameters to work with, as opposed to Google where it’s one short sentence at best.
With ChatGPT you can give a whole paragraph as a prompt and it will consider the inputs holistically. You can ask questions, give it errands. It is quite smart, as it can do some intellectual work e.g., write emails, code, translate excel formulas from text to formula, compose emails, the list is endless. However, it isn’t always right so best to fact check. It is best used as a “strong first draft”

Note: sometimes it is at capacity because so many people are trying to use it. try again some other time when there isn’t as much traffic.
Well we’ve done the work so you don’t have to. Here are a few ways to use chat GPT to supercharge your fundraise and prompts you can work with to use it to work for you.
ChatGPT is completely FREE (for now), there are talks that a paid version is in the works.
