ChatGPT's potential can be maximized using these five expert-recommended productivity hacks from OpenAI's Head of Product, Nicholas Turley.

1. Voice Mode Use ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode for natural, conversational interactions during brainstorming and problem-solving sessions. This feature is exclusive to Plus and Team subscribers, though it shouldn't be used as a substitute for therapy.

2. Memory Mode Instead of starting fresh each time, instruct ChatGPT to remember important details about you. You can directly tell it your preferences, project details, and regular requirements. While convenient, exercise caution with personal data sharing.

3. Custom GPTs Create personalized AI assistants for specific tasks using OpenAI's "Make a GPT" feature. Whether you need a tutor, schedule organizer, or themed assistant, the setup process is straightforward with built-in tools for customizing behavior and responses.

4. File Upload Capability One of ChatGPT's most underutilized features is its ability to process uploaded files. The AI can analyze documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs, offering data analysis and content summaries. This powerful tool has been available for over a year but remains largely unexplored by users.

5. Image Integration Combining text and image capabilities unlocks enhanced creative possibilities. While users typically stick to either text or images exclusively, integrating both formats enables diverse applications, from creating birthday cards to developing new concepts.

These features transform ChatGPT from a simple chatbot into a comprehensive productivity tool, capable of handling various tasks across different media formats.
