The '@' trick that turns ChatGPT into your Executive Advisory Board

Ever wished you could instantly summon a dream team of experts to weigh in on your ideas? Well, if you've got ChatGPT Plus (the paid version), you basically can. Let me show you how to build your own personal AI advisory board (and then get them all in the same room having a chat).

The secret? Custom GPTs + '@' command

Think of this like creating your own personal think tank that you can tap into anytime. The best part? You can bring different experts into your conversation mid-stream - just like adding colleagues to a Slack thread or a group on Teams.

Here's your step-by-step guide:

1. Build your Dream Team. First, you'll need to assemble your advisory board. Create (or use existing) custom GPTs with different personas for different expertise areas like:

• The analytics whiz

• The HR expert

• The legal eagle

• The creative director

• The strategy consultant

2. The "First Hello" rule. Quick but crucial step: Have a brief chat with each of your GPTs individually. Just a quick "hello" will do. This gets them registered in your recent GPTs list.

3. The '@' move. Here's where it gets super cool (IMHO). In any conversation, when you need specific expertise, just type '@' at the start of the next prompt and watch what happens. You'll see a dropdown menu of your recently used GPTs - like tagging someone in a group chat. Pick the GPT and they will be brought into your chat to respond to your needs.

4. Mix and match expertise. Now you can seamlessly:

• Get legal eyes on your marketing copy

• Have your analytics expert evaluate your creative ideas

• Get an HR perspective on your strategy

• All without leaving your original conversation

Why this is a game-changer

• No more cutting and pasting and switching between different chat threads

• Get multiple expert perspectives in real-time

• Keep the context of your original conversation

• Build on each expert's input immediately

Try it today.

Set up your first AI advisory board. Start small - maybe 2-3 experts - and see how it transforms your decision-making process.

Quick Warning: Once you experience the power of having instant access to multiple expert perspectives, regular single-threaded AI chats might feel a bit lonely...
