Why your prompts aren't working

Most ChatGPT prompts fail for the same reason: they're missing context. Day 1 introduces the CRAFT framework — five elements that make any prompt dramatically more effective.

C

Context

What's the background? Who's the audience? What does ChatGPT need to know?

R

Role

"Act as a senior copywriter." "You are a data analyst." Roles change the entire response quality.

A

Action

What exactly do you want? Write, analyze, summarize, compare, rewrite?

F

Format

Bullet list? Table? 3 paragraphs? JSON? Explicit format = consistent output.

T

Tone

Professional, casual, blunt, empathetic. Tone shapes how the output lands with readers.

5 days. From beginner to power user.

Each day has a clear skill, real examples, and exercises you can do on your actual work tasks — not made-up demos.

An honest note about this course

ChatGPT has massive search volume. Teaching it is good for this site's SEO. That's the business reality — and you deserve to know it.

But the course is genuinely useful and genuinely honest. Day 4 includes a direct comparison of ChatGPT vs. Claude vs. Gemini — including cases where ChatGPT is the worse choice. Claude is often better for long documents, complex reasoning, and coding. Gemini is better integrated with Google Workspace. ChatGPT is better for custom GPTs and general availability.

This course teaches real skills, not brand loyalty. Use whichever tool does the job best.

Common questions

Days 1 and 3 work on the free tier. Day 2 (Custom GPTs) and Day 4 (DALL-E, browsing) require ChatGPT Plus ($20/month). We note the requirement clearly in each lesson — you can skip or come back when you have Plus.
No. Day 4 includes a direct, honest comparison of ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini. There are tasks where Claude is clearly better, and we say so. Teaching you to use AI well — whatever tool that means — is the point.
Most ChatGPT users have never built a Custom GPT, used Advanced Data Analysis with their own data, or built a systematic workflow. If any of those are new to you, this course will change how you work.
Yes. All 5 days, forever. No paywall, no upgrade required. We mention the bootcamp once at the end of Day 5.
