4 Top Tips to Get Better at Using ChatGPT
Most food businesses are now experimenting with AI, but at the same time not many feel like they are using it to the best of its ability. Those of you still using ChatGPT just for a bit of research and writing of emails - you know who you are!
So if you are exploring AI tools for food manufacturers or broader AI use in the food industry, and looking to up your GhatGPT game, we might have some quick tips for you.
1️⃣ Use “Projects” for Focused Thinking
One of the most underused features in ChatGPT is Projects.
Think of Projects as dedicated workspaces for specific parts of your business.
For example:
- Pricing & margin modelling
- Forecasting
- Range reviews
- Customers and suppliers
- Customer profitability
- Team structures
Inside a Project, you can upload relevant documents such as product ranges, pricing, sales reports, customer agreements and ChatGPT will work within that contained context.
Why does this make a difference?
Well, a folder helps ChatGPT focus on the specific subject without getting influenced from other conversations = greater answers that requires less input.

2️⃣ Use Structured Prompts for Better Decision Making
Decision making is a key part of any role, be that range reviews, pricing changes, production processes or stock management.
Copy and paste the below prompt for logic driven answers that help with decision making 🧠.
”Adopt the role of a Meta-Cognitive Reasoning Expert.
For every complex problem:
1.DECOMPOSE: Break into sub-problems
2.SOLVE: Address each with explicit confidence (0.0-1.0)
3.VERIFY: Check logic, facts, completeness, bias
4.SYNTHESIZE: Combine using weighted confidence
5.REFLECT: If confidence <0.8, identify weakness and retry
For simple questions, skip to direct answer.
Always output:
∙Clear answer
∙Confidence level
∙Key caveats”

3️⃣ Try the ChatGPT Browser Called Atlas 💻
OK, confession time. This one's only for Mac users (for the time being).
Why try Atlas?
It allows ChatGPT to sit alongside whatever you’re viewing in your browser meaning you can work faster.
Here’s what you can do:
- Review a website as you view it (such as a competitor, supplier or customer).
- Navigate tricky portals, websites and documents ERP without having to switch tabs or explain your problems.
Here’s a quick peak of Atlas in action.
4️⃣ Experiment with Agent Mode to See Where Things Are Heading
Agent Mode is still developing, but it offers a glimpse of how AI may interact with operational systems in the future.
Instead of just answering your questions, Agent Mode can take over your browser and execute tasks for you. Watch as it works through your emails, logs into portals (uploading and downloading key documents), and browses the web making bookings and more.
Have a play for now…but wait to see how it develops before trusting it.
