The 'More Names, The Better' Principle
AI output quality depends heavily on the input. The more agency names, specific terms, and problem details you provide in your prompt, the more accurate and useful the resulting analysis will be.
AI as a Time Lever
Research that typically takes 1 to 2 days to perform manually (web browsing) can be completed in just a few minutes with a well-crafted prompt.
Use Real Communication Context
Don't just rely on general information. Paste copies of your actual conversations or emails with agencies into ChatGPT to get more tailor-made interaction advice.
