Gemini 4 Argon Is Here: 12 Jaw Dropping Demos
*Free: 25 Gemini Skills you can use with Gemini 4* https://clickhubspot.com/2i38 Gemini 4 Argon is here, and I had early access to test what Google's new AI model can really do. I walk you through 12 demos in the Gemini app, with the exact prompt for each one, so you can try them yourself. Gemini 4 is Google's biggest jump in a long time, and right now it's ranked number one on the Vals Index. The biggest change is what it can build. With Canvas, one prompt now gets you full 3D worlds, real physics, and playable games that run right inside the Gemini app. I also show how it handles real work, like turning a pile of messy files into a finished presentation, and how the new Tasks feature works on a job while you're away. You'll learn the one prompting tip that gets Canvas to build real apps instead of pictures, and how the new 1 million token output lets it write huge projects in a single answer. Gemini 4 is available now for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
Ultimate Guide to ChatGPT Work (Updated for ChatGPT 6 Astra)
*Free ChatGPT Work guide:* https://clickhubspot.com/i038 I walk through how I use ChatGPT Work to get real work done, from cleaning up spreadsheets to building dashboards, websites, and reports. This is my full ChatGPT Work tutorial, with over a dozen real examples and the prompts I use for each task. I start by showing how ChatGPT Work turns 12 messy Excel spreadsheets into one clean report and a dashboard I can share with my team. I also show how I compare two contracts, make PowerPoint slides from a template, and use Gmail to write email drafts without sending them. Then I use ChatGPT Work to find new customers, create reusable proposal templates, and build websites with links I can share. I also cover the new ChatGPT layout, plugins, Spaces, the desktop and mobile apps, and how I set up tasks that run every week. I also test the ChatGPT meetings plugin to record a Zoom call, get a full transcript, and create meeting notes and action items without taking notes myself.
Google Gemini Skills Are Finally Here
*Gemini Skills Guide:* https://clickhubspot.com/fwol Gemini Skills can save a ton of time on work you do over and over again. In this video, I show you how to create and use Gemini Skills so you can teach Gemini how you want a task done once, then reuse that setup in future chats. I’ll walk through three ways to create Gemini Skills: using a prompt, building one manually, and uploading a skill file. I’ll also show you how Skills work inside Gemini Chat and Gemini Spark. Along the way, I build 10 practical Gemini Skills you can copy or adapt: Meeting Recap Write Like Me Proposal Writer Executive Summary Data Snapshot Weekly Status Update Meeting Prep Brainstorming SOP Writer Content Repurposing I also show you how to use multiple Gemini Skills together and how to edit an existing Skill when you want to change the output. If you use Gemini for repetitive work, this is one of the easiest ways to make it much more useful.
The Biggest ChatGPT Update Yet: Meet dots
*Free dots guide:* https://clickhubspot.com/4zcj I walk through how I use ChatGPT Dots as an always-on AI assistant that keeps working even when I am not in ChatGPT. I show how ChatGPT Dots works, how I set up my Dot, and how I give it a real goal instead of a simple prompt. I also show how it can take action, check connected apps, find problems, and message me when something needs my attention. I test ChatGPT Dots with a product launch and show how it reads files, follows rules, updates documents, and keeps track of what needs to happen next. I also show how I use it with Google Drive, email, calendar, plugins, ChatGPT memory, and other tools. One of the biggest differences with ChatGPT Dots is that I do not have to keep starting new tasks. I can give my Dot a responsibility, and it keeps working toward that goal. It can also take initiative and message me first when it finds something useful. I also explain the difference between ChatGPT Dots, ChatGPT Work, Codex, and regular ChatGPT so it is easier to know when to use each one. If you want to understand ChatGPT Dots and see what an always-on AI agent can actually do, this gives you a simple look at how I am using it.
