AI’s Getting Smarter, But So Should You

In partnership with

Hey there,

Everywhere you turn, someone’s talking about AI—and yeah, we’re fans—but this week’s Tech Tip Twosday isn’t just another AI love letter. We’re spotlighting a few actually useful features you can use right now—and mixing in a couple of classic tech power moves to boost your workflow.

🔍 1. Get Answers with Context—Not Just Speed

The latest OpenAI models (like o3 and GPT-4o) are starting to feel less like chatbots and more like problem-solving copilots. Here’s what that means in plain English:

• o3 is better at breaking down complex requests into steps. You can literally type:
  “Act as a project manager. Step 1: summarize this document. Step 2: draft a checklist. Step 3: spot risks.”
  And it’ll actually follow those steps. Think of it as your logical, structured sidekick.

• GPT-4o is your creative powerhouse. It handles images and design prompts like:
  “Make a banner with my logo and a light/dark theme switch.” It even returns multiple versions.

🧠 Pro Tip: When prompting either one, treat it like you would a team member. Be direct. Be clear. Give it a job.

🧼 2. Declutter Your Browser, The Smart Way

Tabs everywhere? Time for a little spring cleaning:

• Try Workona or Toby—they group your tabs into workspaces and let you hide the chaos behind neat collections.

• Bonus: Combine it with a Pomodoro extension like Marinara and finally focus on one thing at a time.

🖼️ 3. AI + Images = Fast Visual Mockups

Need a wireframe, slide graphic, or social post? You don’t need to open Photoshop anymore.

• Upload a sketch or screenshot and ask GPT-4o:
  “Summarize this whiteboard, now generate a wireframe layout based on it.”

• Use image placeholders in brackets like:
  “Show [Chip Twosday] at a help desk with [Glitch the cat] knocking over a coffee.”
  It keeps editing simple when you want to tweak later.

📸 Chip’s Pro Tip: Add a short “vision” sentence in your prompt like “Clean, modern, tech-forward”—it’ll dial in your brand tone instantly.

🗓️ 4. Don’t Forget: GPT-4 Deprecation Coming Soon

If you’re using custom GPTs or saved workflows still pinned to GPT-4, switch them over to o3 or 4o before June 30. Otherwise, your workflows might stop running or give you weird errors.

🔒 5. Quick Security Boost

Tech’s getting smarter, so are the attackers. Two things to check today:

• ✅ Enable MFA on every login you care about (yes, even your ChatGPT account).

• ✅ Run a software update sweep—especially browsers and extensions.

⚡ TL;DR Action List

• Test o3 or GPT-4o based on what you need: structure or visuals.

• Organize your tabs with a workspace tool.

• Try a visual prompt in GPT-4o (bonus points: include Chip or Glitch).

• Prep for the GPT-4 sunset before June 30.

• Lock down your logins, update your gear.

See you next Twosday … stay sharp, stay curious, and may your prompts be glitch-free.
