Go far beyond what dictionaries can do by getting a sense of the connotation of a word, all its uses, how common those are, and how it can be used naturally. Learning a word involves much more than knowing what it means and remembering it. Let’s see how we can make that process easier.

Let's briefly explore the purpose of this section, and the cover the levels of feedback that we can achieving using ChatGPT (and Google Bard to a lesser extent). We'll go from simple corrections to advanced feedback.

Turn ChatGPT into your own personal grammar and spelling tool, with the major advantage that you can easily ask for further details and follow up with questions. Unlike grammar and spelling tools, ChatGPT actually knows what you’re trying to say.

When you don’t have time to worry about making corrections, you need prompts that will help you simply get what you need right away. This approach is incredibly useful when it comes to work communication, emails, responses to messages, and other daily communication.

The lesson extends what we have done previously by taking the idea of single revisions, and creating a revision machine. This will allow you to simply paste in whatever needs to be revised without a new prompt each time. Very powerful!

Receive detailed feedback and suggestions from your AI copy editor. People pay a lot of money for insights around improving overall writing structure, syntax, style, and perfect grammar.

Create documents like emails, essays, and reports, and enhance them with personalized touches. Understand the principles behind template-driven writing and make it your own.

In this lesson, we will apply the template approach to creating a marketing landing page, using an existing description to train ChatGPT on style, tone, and structure, before requesting another description on a different topic. Once you get the hang of this approach to creating, you may find yourself building temples for all kinds of things, which would be great!
