ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a versatile AI tool that enhances productivity by assisting with writing, summarising, and answering complex queries.

Best for content generation and automation

From drafting blog posts and emails to automating responses, ChatGPT saves time by streamlining content creation and ideation.

Not always accurate for fact-based queries

ChatGPT is powerful but not infallible—it may generate incorrect or outdated information, requiring human oversight.

Requires integration for business automation

While useful as a standalone tool, ChatGPT delivers greater efficiency when integrated with CRM, project management, or email automation tools.

Best for:

• Content creators needing AI-powered writing assistance.
• Teams looking to automate repetitive tasks and workflows.
• Professionals leveraging AI for brainstorming and ideation.

If you're new to ChatGPT, start by exploring its capabilities in organising data and simplifying repetitive tasks. A great entry point for marketers is to use ChatGPT for formatting unstructured data. For instance, if you have a list of contact information or product specs that aren’t uniformly formatted, you can paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to create a clean table or CSV file. This simple use case can save hours of manual formatting and is particularly helpful if you’re dealing with raw data from different sources.

Another effective way to start is by using ChatGPT as a technical assistant. For example, if you come across a coding command or error message in your digital marketing tools and aren’t sure what it means, paste it into ChatGPT for a quick breakdown. It can often interpret commands, clarify what each parameter does, and even suggest alternative commands. This feature is invaluable for marketers who occasionally work with code or technical setups but may not have extensive programming experience. With these basics, you’ll start seeing how ChatGPT can act as a multi-functional tool in your day-to-day operations.

For advanced users, ChatGPT offers even more powerful capabilities, especially in the context of technical projects and complex problem-solving. Experienced marketers can leverage ChatGPT for creating more detailed workflows and setting up custom data analysis scripts or automation commands. For example, if you need to format data into a specific template or convert information into different languages with precise context, ChatGPT can handle these tasks with customised prompts. Additionally, by using the code interpreter feature, ChatGPT can run simple code snippets, making it a robust tool for debugging or testing small scripts.

For users involved in strategy and planning, ChatGPT can also serve as a reverse dictionary or brainstorming assistant. If you’re trying to recall the name of a specific marketing term or feature, describe it to ChatGPT, and it can often identify it accurately. Furthermore, by uploading visual elements (if using the multimodal capabilities of GPT-4), you can ask ChatGPT to identify and describe objects in images, which is particularly useful for creative brainstorming or researching specific visual assets. For marketers who have a strong understanding of their workflows, ChatGPT becomes a dynamic tool that can enhance both routine tasks and in-depth research projects.
