As summer winds down and routines return, Cary uses this time to unpack what memory actually is in ChatGPT, how it works, and why it matters. He offers a clear, user-friendly breakdown of how to manage memory settings, the difference between memory and custom instructions, and how to make ChatGPT more helpful and personalized over time. No guest this week—just a practical, detailed walkthrough from Cary to help listeners better use this powerful feature. 3 Key Takeaways: Memory is only available in paid ChatGPT versions and helps the tool remember useful details across conversations—like your name, projects, or how you prefer responses.

Episode Summary  Cary tackles one of the most common questions he hears in workshops: “Can I trust ChatGPT—or AI in general?” He explains that trust in AI depends on what you're trusting it for, and that the real key is working with AI rather than expecting it to work for you. Using stories, research, and examples, Cary lays out why transparency, verification, and human oversight are essential for responsible AI use. He also shares listener stories of people building AI curriculums for both college students and retirees, showing how curiosity can spread and inspire. 3 Key Takeaways: Trust starts with clarity: Always ask, “Trust it to do what?”—the answer changes how you use and verify AI's output. Work with, not for you: Treat AI like an eager, capable intern—give it clear instructions, check its work, and add your human insight before using the results. Verification isn't optional: No matter how smart AI gets, “trust but verify” ensures accuracy, especially in high-stakes or sensitive situations.

Greg specializes in helping non-technical professionals streamline daily operations using tools like Make.com, ChatGPT, and Gmail.

This becomes the foundation for training AI to help you. Use AI Strategically, Not Just Technically: ChatGPT isn't just a chatbot—it can serve as a thought partner, strategist, and even a SOP (standard operating procedure) generator if you feed it the right context.

EPISODE SUMMARY In this solo summer episode, Cary Weston dives into listener feedback, experiments with ChatGPT's task scheduling features, and shares a new approach for improving workflow using what he calls the “employee” or “intern” method. He also announces the winner of the $100 listener survey gift card and previews what's coming next for the ChatGPT Experiment community. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS The Employee Approach: Treat ChatGPT like a new hire—give it proper onboarding by sharing your goals, audience, and success metrics before expecting quality output. This foundation leads to more meaningful and helpful results. Tasks & Scheduling in ChatGPT: Cary sets up daily scheduled tasks for GPT to pull relevant articles for his podcast. While useful, the current interface has limitations, like the inability to view or edit tasks outside the original conversation. Renderings and Custom Guidance: ChatGPT can act like an interior designer—Cary used it to generate 3D renderings from 2D floor plans by having GPT ask questions to better understand his vision. This approach works for many tasks, not just design.

Episode Summary: In this solo episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston shares a personal and exploratory dive into ChatGPT's growing memory capabilities.

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston records from the parking lot during his kids' sports practices and dives into a hands-on tip about creating Custom GPTs—specialized versions of ChatGPT tailored for specific tasks.

Start by Letting ChatGPT Help You First: Before creating a Custom GPT, Cary suggests having a conversation with ChatGPT about your goal and letting it guide you with suggestions and tasks to clarify your needs. Capture, Copy, and Paste: Once you're happy with the interaction, you can ask ChatGPT to generate the exact configuration text needed to create a Custom GPT—just copy and paste it in. He's even made a downloadable walkthrough to help with that.

In this episode of CPG Insiders, and part 1 of our  3-part series, Mark  + Justin dive deep into the product side of mass retail, revealing timeless strategies that separate hero products from mediocre ones. In this video, we break down: • Believe in Your Product: Never make products you don't truly believe in. Authentic passion is contagious—when you believe in your product, buyers and customers do too. • Solve a Real Human Problem: Ensure your product addresses a genuine need. If your solution doesn't meet a core human problem, it won't resonate with a mass audience. • Focus on a Specific Audience: Avoid trying to be everything to everyone. Being a me-too product dilutes your brand. Instead, focus on a clearly defined target market. • Keep It Simple: Make products that can be described in one sentence. Clarity in your message builds better brand recall. • Maintain Strong Margins: Never have less than a 5:1 margin. A higher margin provides the budget needed for effective advertising and long-term growth. • One Hero Product Over Many Mediocre Ones: One successful item is better than ten mediocre products. Identify and protect your hero product, and never cannibalize its success. • Fit into Retail Expansion Levers: Your product should enhance profitability, drive higher volume, or expand category offerings—helping you capture more shelf space in mass retail. They discuss the importance of aligning your product strategy with retail buyer expectations and the key role of innovation and focus in scaling your brand from digital success to dominating the big-box retail space.

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston shares a powerful tip and challenge for improving ChatGPT responses. He explores how adding "real-world consequences" to a prompt can lead to more accurate, thoughtful, and thorough AI-generated content. By reframing instructions and emphasizing the potential consequences of incomplete work, Cary found that ChatGPT provided more detailed and higher-quality responses. He challenges listeners to try this technique and share their results. Key Takeaways Set Clear Stakes for Better AI Responses – When using ChatGPT, explaining why accuracy matters—especially by adding real-world consequences—can lead to more precise and complete responses. The “Busy Middle” is Where AI Saves Time – Breaking work into three phases—ideation, the busy middle, and polishing—helps maximize AI's strengths. Using transcripts and structured input lets ChatGPT handle the “busy middle” and make content creation more efficient. Framing AI as an Intern Helps – Treating ChatGPT like an intern, providing clear instructions, background, and expectations, ensures better results. Without proper guidance, the output may be incomplete or generic. Are you ready to use ChatGPT to be more productive and efficient in your work? Check out Cary's customized, interactive workshops:

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston dives into the process of using ChatGPT as a supportive tool for writing business books.
