From a "feverish" tool at the end of 2022, ChatGPT has quickly surpassed the limits of a normal chatbot to become an all-powerful "virtual assistant", accompanying millions of users around the world in both work and personal life.

If you think ChatGPT is just a fun “chat” chatbot, it’s time to reconsider. Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT can help you do more than you imagine, from composing emails, planning your work, to supporting foreign language learning or giving logical advice when faced with important decisions. In this article, let’s explore with SaDesign 8 outstanding uses of ChatGPT to help you maximize the power of the AI ​​tool that is changing the way we live and work every day.

1. Basic information about ChatGPT

Before diving into specific uses, it would be remiss if we didn't briefly review ChatGPT - the AI ​​tool that has been reshaping the way people work, learn and interact digitally.

1.1. What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an AI (Artificial Intelligence Language Model) language model developed by OpenAI, first released to the public in late 2022. Based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, ChatGPT is capable of understanding and generating text like humans, through learning from billions of text samples and data on the internet.

More than just a chatbot, ChatGPT is trained to:

• Answer questions with high accuracy
• Create documents, conversations, emails, articles
• Explaining complex concepts
• Provide logical analysis and recommend actions
• Learn and adjust responses based on user feedback

1.2. How does ChatGPT work?

ChatGPT works by predicting the next word in a sentence, combined with understanding the previous conversation context, and then providing appropriate responses. Current versions such as GPT-4 are capable of:

• Multilingual communication, including Vietnamese
• Multitasking: coding, planning, data analysis
• Deep learning for personal context, especially when users have logged in accounts
• Integrate into multiple platforms such as web, mobile, browser, Microsoft Office, Slack…

1.3. Why is ChatGPT so popular?

ChatGPT took the world by storm shortly after its launch, thanks to its natural, versatile, and easy-to-use communication capabilities. In less than 5 days, the tool attracted over 1 million users, faster than any other technology platform in history. By 2025, ChatGPT will have hundreds of millions of users worldwide – from students, teachers, office workers to professionals and programmers.

ChatGPT's popularity comes from:

• Simple, friendly interface
• Multi-purpose: for study, work, content creation
• Free at the basic level, and there is an upgrade (ChatGPT Plus/Pro) with more powerful features

High speed and efficiency: near-instant response, with the ability to handle complex requests

With its superior technology platform and wide applicability, ChatGPT has quickly become an indispensable part of modern digital life. In the following sections, SaDesign will introduce 8 typical uses that you can apply today to optimize your work and study.

2. 8 typical uses of ChatGPT

2.1. Write an email

One of the biggest barriers to business communication is email writing: How to communicate clearly, concisely, politely and in the right context? Many people, even long-time office workers, still have difficulty writing emails to superiors, partners or employers.

This is where ChatGPT comes into its own as a powerful language assistant.

With just a few simple commands, you can ask ChatGPT to write:

• Formal job application email
• Polite rejection email
• Emails to remind meetings, apologize, negotiate…
• Personal email thank you, ask

For example:

“Please write me an email requesting 2 days off for personal reasons, send it to the department head, in a professional and polite tone.”

ChatGPT will instantly compose a polished, complete, contextually-appropriate email template that can be easily personalized. In particular, you can request to adjust the tone (serious, friendly, formal…) or shorten and add details until you are satisfied.

With ChatGPT, writing emails is no longer a “nightmare” – it becomes an easy and time-saving task.

2.2. Create a schedule

Ever spent hours planning a trip? Or struggling to figure out how to spend your day effectively? ChatGPT could be the perfect planner for you.

By providing basic information such as:

• Location
• Time
• Purpose (travel, work, vacation…)
• Personal interests (eating, sightseeing, resting…)

ChatGPT can suggest detailed itineraries for each day and time frame. Not only that, the chatbot also advises on places to visit, ideal times to visit, special dishes and tips for moving around the city.

For example:

“I will go to Da Lat for 3 days and 2 nights from July 15 to 17. I want to visit famous places, eat lightly, rest and not be too rushed. Please suggest a suitable schedule for me.”

With the above request, ChatGPT can return a clear plan for each morning - afternoon - evening, with weather tips, means of transportation and a list of highly rated restaurants.

Save up to 80% of the time compared to researching from multiple sources yourself, ChatGPT provides an easy, accurate, and customizable planning experience.

2.3. Analysis of difficult concepts

One of the great strengths of ChatGPT is its ability to explain complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way, suitable for each user's level.

You can request:

• Explain a specialized concept (e.g. Blockchain, Machine Learning, monetary policy…)
• Present content at grade 12, college, or high school level
• Translated into Vietnamese/English with illustrative examples

For example:

“Explain to me how Blockchain works, as simple as telling a story to a high school student.”

ChatGPT will provide concise, easy-to-understand content with examples and even suggest additional study materials if you request. Whether you are a student, a working professional or a newbie in a field, AI can accompany you as a flexible and friendly “tutor”.

Highly customizable, ChatGPT is the ideal learning tool for the digital age.

2.4. Advice for difficult situations

When faced with important decisions – like changing jobs, investing, pursuing graduate school, or even personal situations – emotions can easily cloud our judgment and lead us to make less-than-objective choices.

ChatGPT, with logical thinking and not affected by emotions, can act as a “cool-headed advisor”, giving advice based on the analysis of pros and cons and context provided by the user.

For example:

“I am torn between working at company A with higher salary but more pressure, and company B with a comfortable environment but lower salary. Which one should I choose?”

ChatGPT will help you analyze each element:

• The personal values ​​you aim for
• Risks and Potential of Each Option
• Scenarios if choose A or B
• Self-reflection questions for you to re-evaluate yourself

Of course, the final decision is yours. But having an objective consulting tool to help you make informed and less stressful decisions is worth it.

2.5. Complex planning

More than just a writing or analysis tool, ChatGPT can also plan complex projects in detail that previously required more professional management tools.

By providing:

• Project Objectives
• Estimated time
• Things done
• Special requirements or constraints

ChatGPT can break down the entire project into logical steps, by week or month, with suggested timelines and work breakdowns. You can also integrate content into Google Sheets, Trello, Notion, etc.

For example:

“I want to plan a YouTube channel about design. Goal: 10,000 subscribers in 6 months. Please help me with a weekly plan to achieve this goal.”

AI can make plans from content preparation, idea generation, posting schedule, learning SEO, optimizing thumbnails... all at specific stages.

2.6. Summary of articles and meetings

During a busy workday, it can be difficult to read through long documents or take notes from an entire meeting. ChatGPT can summarize documents, articles, or meeting content into short bullet points, saving you time while still getting the core information.

Just enter:

“Summary the following content into 5 main ideas…”

(paste text)

ChatGPT will process it in seconds and give you the filtered content. If you want to go deeper, you can continue asking for details about each section.

Note: To ensure privacy, we recommend that you do not share confidential documents or personal data with the chatbot. A safer solution is to use ChatGPT Enterprise edition, which has a high commitment to data security.

2.7. Practice self-interviewing

No one can underestimate the importance of interview preparation. With ChatGPT, you can simulate a real interview – from resume screening to technical interviews to behavioral questions.

You just need to describe:

• Position applied for
• Industry
• Interview type (1-1, panel, technical…)

ChatGPT will pose as a recruiter and ask relevant questions, and give feedback if your answers are not convincing. You can also practice speaking, writing, or expressing your ideas in front of strangers.

What’s special: The tool can be customized to suit your level, industry, or specific needs. It’s ideal for both recent graduates and job-hoppers.

2.8. Self-study foreign languages

ChatGPT is not a complete replacement for a teacher, but it is an extremely effective language learning assistant, especially when you need someone to practice conversation with 24/7.

You can:

• Ask questions, communication situations
• Practice English/French/Korean reflexes…
• Ask about grammar, sentence structure
• Bilingual translation and explanation

For example:

“Let's say I'm going to a restaurant in Paris, practice basic French conversation for this situation.”

ChatGPT will respond like a native speaker, helping you practice listening - speaking - reflexes in real contexts. However, effective foreign language learning still requires a combination of formal learning resources and self-study efforts.

With the ability to process natural language, analyze logic and customize according to user needs, ChatGPT is not only a chatbot but also a reliable personal assistant, supporting every aspect of work and life. From writing emails, planning to studying, consulting and making decisions, ChatGPT is gradually changing the way people interact with technology, opening a new era where AI accompanies personal development. If you know how to take advantage of it, ChatGPT will not only help you save time but also increase productivity, improve skills and enrich modern life.
