01 — PROMPT TIP

A Quick Tip for Replying to Part of a Response 💬

Want to reply to PART of ChatGPT’s response?

Well, there’s a way to do this.

Note: This feature is currently available only on the computer version - not the smartphone app.

Here’s how:

1. Do an initial prompt. Highlight text in the response and click “Reply”:

2. Write your followup prompt:

   

Why this matters

This technique lets you give ChatGPT more context when asking a following question.

It can help improve the responses for back-and-forth discussion.

02 — AI NEWS

New version of ChatGPT just launched 🚀

Hot off the press (as in 5 hours ago!)

OpenAI has just announced the next version of ChatGPT.

ChatGPT 4o mini (free) and ChatGPT 4o (paid)

..will eventually be superseded by..

ChatGPT o1-mini (free) and ChatGPT o1 (paid)

Oh, how we wish OpenAI would pick nicer naming for their products.

What’s the problem with ChatGPT 1, ChatGPT 2, ChatGPT 3 etc.!?

Ok, rant over.

The main things to know about the new versions:

1. Responses are slower. Yes, you read that right. Considerably slower.

2. Because responses are slower, the answers are better thought through.

Over time, we anticipate the speed will increase, but if you use ChatGPT today and notice it “Thinking” more, this is why.

Why this matters

If ChatGPT is your primary AI tool (like it is for us) we suggest it’s important to stay abreast of the really big announcements, so you can make the most of new features.

This one is perhaps a surprising update.

However, if responses are considerably better, I’m happy to wait 10 seconds!
