69 Ways Real People Are Using ChatGPT (That You Haven’t Thought Of Yet)
From shadow work to shopping lists, these aren’t your average AI prompts.
I was on TikTok and people were sharing the different ways that they were using ChatGPT. I compiled all of those ideas and I am listing them here for you. I am hoping that you can use them either in your business or just for your own personal fun.
What surprised me most wasn’t how many ways people were using AI—it was how creative, vulnerable, and freakishly specific their ideas were. People weren’t just writing emails or summarizing articles. They were using ChatGPT to heal childhood wounds, channel spirit guides, plan butterfly gardens, and even negotiate severance packages like a boss.
So I organized all 69 of these real-world use cases into categories—whether you're in need of emotional support, business clarity, or just want someone (or something) to roast your messy bedroom with style.
Here’s the list:
🧠 PERSONAL GROWTH & SELF-DISCOVERY
1. Interpreting Dreams
Prompt:
"I had a dream where I was walking through a burning house, picking up photographs from the floor while people I didn’t recognize were shouting from upstairs. Please interpret this dream using both psychological and symbolic frameworks. Include possible emotional themes, connections to waking life, and what subconscious messages or unresolved issues it might reveal."
2. Analyzing Fictional Crushes to Understand Personal Patterns
Prompt:
"I have a recurring pattern of being drawn to fictional characters who are emotionally distant but secretly caring (e.g., Mr. Darcy, Kylo Ren, Loki). Can you help me analyze why I’m attracted to this type, what it might reveal about my unmet emotional needs or past attachment experiences, and how I can use this insight in real-life relationships?"
3. Getting Pep Talks Before Interviews
Prompt:
"I'm about to walk into a job interview and I’m nervous. Pretend you’re my coach or best friend. Give me a motivating, grounded pep talk to help me stay confident, remember my worth, and focus on what I bring to the table. Bonus points if you include a calming breathing technique or mantra I can use beforehand."
