Most people use ChatGPT like a fancy Google search. In this episode, we show you what you might be missing.

Allen shares how ChatGPT helped him navigate a real medical situation and saved critical time in the process. Then we break down the tools most people scroll right past: Custom GPTs, Google Gems, Claude Projects/Artifacts, and more. We explore together and show you how to go from chatting with AI to actually building with it.

Key Topics

• What are Custom GPTs and how to create your own
• Use case: Managing your HOA with a PDF knowledge base
• Connecting external data through actions and APIs
• Comparing tools across Gemini, Grok, Claude, and Google Gems
• Building simple AI apps: Recipes, games, data analysis
• How projects, datasets, and data organization actually work
