🧠 How to get ChatGPT to think like an expert [Workshop]

Hey there.

When we predicted that AI reasoning would be a major factor in 2025, we knew that models like OpenAI’s o1 would transform how professionals work.

While regular AI models rush to answer, o1 takes a step back to reason through problems just like a human expert would. 

It’s often the difference between getting a quick answer and getting the right answer, the first time you ask.

If you’re using it like any other model inside ChatGPT, there’s a very good chance you're barely scratching the surface of what it can do.

Here's what you’ll be able to do when you know how to unlock o1's full potential:

Generate complex code that’s more likely to work the first time

Where other AI models suggest code snippets that often need to be double checked, o1 thinks through the entire solution before writing a single line. It considers edge cases, anticipates potential issues, and provides solutions that actually work in production environments.

This level of reliability transforms your development process from trial-and-error to strategic execution. Projects that used to require multiple iteration cycles can now be completed in a single pass, with code that's not just functional but easier to maintain.

With o1, development teams are cutting project timelines in half, product managers are implementing features in days instead of weeks, and technical leads are solving integration challenges without endless debugging sessions.

Solve business problems in minutes (instead of meetings)

Traditional AI gives you answers based on pattern matching, but o1 approaches problems like a seasoned strategist - analyzing context, considering implications, and building solutions that account for real-world complexity.

This advanced reasoning capability means you can tackle challenges that were previously too complex for AI assistance. Instead of piecing together multiple responses, you get comprehensive solutions that consider every angle.

With o1, business strategists are modeling complex market scenarios, analysts are developing detailed competitive strategies, and decision-makers are identifying insights that factor in a wide range of variables.

Extract actionable insights from overwhelming amounts of data

Most AI models can summarize research, but o1 goes further by thinking through what they mean, identifying hidden patterns, and generating takeaways that drive results.

This deep analytical capability means you can process more information while extracting better insights. Research projects will require less of your time to produce findings that actually guide strategic decision-making.

With o1, market researchers are uncovering opportunities others miss, content strategists are developing data-driven content plans that convert, and product teams are turning user research into feature roadmaps that drive engagement.

The thing is, o1's sophisticated reasoning approach means your usual prompting techniques simply won't work.

As these models become more powerful, knowing exactly how to guide them will be increasingly important for staying competitive.

And, fortunately, that's what we're covering in our next workshop…

This Friday at 4 PM EST, Dr. Alvaro Cintas is teaching our members how to:

• Effectively prompt o1 models to solve complex problems

• Transform o1 into your personal coding assistant for faster, better development

• Create smart research workflows that actually understand your goals

By the end of this workshop, you'll learn how to make the most of every minute (and every dollar) you spend with o1 - turning it into a competitive advantage that sets you apart in your field.

Once you’ve mastered o1's reasoning capabilities, projects that used to take days will be completed in hours, problems that seemed too complex for AI will become routine and, while others are still using o1 like a basic chatbot, you'll be leveraging it as a true thinking partner that amplifies your expertise.
