My Top 5 AI Tips for iPhone Users!

All right, so check this out. I come

across this complex graph with tiny font

on mobile, right? I long press to

select. Switch over to Chat GBT. Drag

and drop the image in a new chat. Type

out a keyword

that expands out to a detailed prompt.

Hit enter. And after a couple of

seconds, Chad GBT gives me a brief

explanation of what the image is about

and even transcribes all the text found

in the image for easy copy and paste.

Pretty incredible stuff, right? These

are the kinds of AI workflows 99% of

users have no idea exist. So, here are

five mobile habits that bring you one

step closer to becoming AI native. Let's

get started. Number one, drag to ask.

The cross app drag and drop feature

itself has been available on both

Android and iPhone for a while now. In

most native apps, you can long press on

an image or text snippet and use a

second finger to swipe out to drop the

image or text into another app. But very

few people have been using this with AI.

Even though it's simple, building this

one habit reduces a lot of friction when

using AI on mobile. It's a small change

that makes AI feel like a natural part

of our workflow rather than an extra

step. Here's another common use case.

From my files app, I drag a contract PDF

over to ChachiBT so I can ask questions

to remind myself of the terms. And I've

actually done this while on the phone

negotiating with another party. Pro tip.

Let's say I'm in a spreadsheet and I

want to share this view specifically

with AI. I can take a screenshot and

instead of expanding the screenshot,

clicking done, copy and delete, and

going over to catchb, tapping and

pasting the image in chatbt, which is a

lot of steps, right? What I can do is

let's go back to the spreadsheet. Take

another screenshot. Long press on the

screenshot. Open up chap JBT. Drag it

over and just simply type recreate this

uh table. And let me download as CSV.

And let's fast forward a little bit

here.

And there we go. Now, before we go crazy

and start dragging everything into AI, a

lot of non-native apps don't support

drag and drop. So, we need another

approach to decrease friction. And this

brings us to tip number two, instant

content analysis. Diving right into

another demo. I'm in Gmail right now, a

non-Apple app, right? I open up the

attachment and I tap the share icon on

the top and you will see that ChachiBT

is easily accessible in the share share

sheet. It is not there by default,

right? and I can click it and boom, the

PDF is uploaded to a new chat and ready

for processing. So, the idea here is

that for situations where drag and drop

does not work, we still want to make

sharing to AI as seamless as possible.

And that means moving the AI options to

the front of our system share sheet.

Here's a setup for iPhone users. Go to

any app with a share button. I'll use

this random screenshot in my files app.

I'm going to tap share. Scroll all the

way to the right. Tap more. and I'm

going to click edit. Toggle on your

preferred AI app. Make sure they're

installed on your phone first,

obviously. Click the plus icon to add

them to favorites and drag them right

next to AirDrop and click done. Now your

favorite AI app is front and center

every time you click share. The setup

for Android is even easier. Open up any

image or file, click share, and long

press on the app to pin it to the top of

the system share sheet. That's it. Now

we've got that set up. Let's go through

three specific workflows. First,

websites. When you're browsing articles

on Safari or Chrome, you'll notice that

when you tap share to let's say Chajbt,

only the link gets passed over. But

that's okay because both ChadBt and

Gemini can read the content of the web

page as long as it doesn't require you

to sign in. So, you can follow up with

summarize this or share the key

takeaways. Second, emails. This one's

slightly different. In Gmail or Apple

Mail, you have to select the print

option first. So in Apple Mail, I have

to click the reply option. Go all the

way down, select print. And then I can

share this and pick the AI. And as you

can see, the email is uploaded to a new

chat in PDF format. Third, apps like

LinkedIn block direct content sharing

because of course they do. So even

though it has a direct sharing option,

it won't share the content, just the

login required link. So the workaround

you have to actually share via Chrome.

Open this P post in Chrome. Take a full

page screenshot

like so and then share that screenshot

to the AI. Pro tip during my commutes I

can't read long articles but I still

want to be productive. So after asking

CHPT for a summary I hit the speaker

icon to listen to the results. Speaking

of being productive, a lot of you ask

how I stay current in the world of AI.

And honestly, it comes down to something

my mentor taught me. Discover widely,

learn deeply. Discover widely just means

subscribing to one daily AI news roundup

so we know what's going on. And learn

deeply means dedicating 30 minutes a

week to learn AI fundamentals. And

that's where today's sponsor, Corsera,

comes in. I've talked about them

multiple times now. Some of my favorite

courses include their AI essentials

course and the prompting essential

specialization, which they've created in

partnership with Google. I've even

branched out to AI adjacent courses like

Chad GPT for data analysis which I made

entire video on. And honestly, it's a

topic I would not have discovered had I

not already been learning on Corsera.

Their annual subscription gives you

access to over 10,000 learning programs.

And if you click the link below, you get

a whopping 40% off 3 months of Corsera

Plus. Thank you Corsera again for

sponsoring a portion of this video.

Moving on to mobile AI habit number

three, the prompt snippet keyboard. Now

that we can easily bring text and files

into the AI apps, we need to reduce the

friction of inputting prompts, which is

especially important on mobile since

typing is such a pain. The setup is

ridiculously simple. Simply search for

text replacement in your settings. Click

the plus icon to add a new text

replacement. The phrase is the prompt we

want to input, and the shortcut is the

keyword that expands into that phrase.

Pro tip, I use a prefix ZZ for all my

prompt shortcuts on mobile because it's

right there when I'm typing and it'll

never accidentally trigger. Here are

three of my most used shortcuts and I'll

link to them in the description. First,

ZZ A N A L.

This expands to analyze this excerpt.

Share the top five takeaways and a

clear, concise, and objective summary.

This prompt is extremely effective at

turning a wall of text into digestible

insights in seconds. For example, my

previous manager loved to send reading

materials right before a meeting to make

a point, I guess. But now, let's say I'm

grabbing a quick lunch. I can share the

report with AI. Type the shortcut ZZ

anol and receive talking points ahead of

the meeting. Second, ZZ image img. This

one's my favorite because I share a lot

of screenshots and photos with AI. And

this prompt tells me what the image is

about and extracts text so that I can

easily copy and paste into another app.

For example, when a colleague sends me a

complex dashboard screenshot, I can pop

that into AI and use ZZ image to get a

brief overview before getting back to my

desktop. Third phrase, ZZ late. I work

with clients and colleagues in different

languages. So, this prompt detects the

language automatically and translates to

English. A common use case for me is to

first use this prompt to fully

understand what the other party is

saying, then use voice dictation to

respond and ask AI to draft a reply for

me in the original language. Pro tip for

Mac users, the text replacement setting

syncs across your devices, so you can

add shortcuts and phrases directly from

your MacBook and they'll appear in your

iPhone. Moving on to tip number four,

Pocket Voice Command Launcher. So, this

is a quickie. When I press my iPhone's

action button, a new Catchy PD

conversation appears instantly and I can

just start speaking my ideas. To set

this up, first search for the action

button setting. Scroll on over to the

shortcut option right over here. And

then I'm going to choose a shortcut.

We're going to search for Chat GBT.

Obviously, make sure Chatbt is installed

on your phone. And instead of starting a

new chat, I like to choose start

dictation because I find it way more

convenient to talk to CHBT when I'm out

and about. And this gives me the option

to make changes before sending the

request. Real example from last week, I

was shopping for pillows in store. There

were a lot of options. So, I just asked

Chach, "Hey, I want you to search the

web. Which pillow types are good for

side sleepers versus back sleepers?" Pro

tip, since I still want quick access to

do not disturb, which I previously

mapped to the action button, I went into

backtap settings and mapped the double

tap action to a shortcut I named toggle

dnd. You have to set up the shortcut

separately, but it's pretty easy and

I'll leave a screenshot here, so feel

free to pause and take a minute to set

this up for yourself. Now, don't get me

wrong, I love sharing these tips, but

even the most powerful tactic is only as

good as the system it's part of. And

that's why I developed the Workspace

Academy. It teaches you the core

workflow, which is a simple yet reliable

system to manage the four types of

information we encounter at work: tasks,

ideas, notes, and media. This system

eliminates mental and digital clutter,

so you never lose track of a file or

action item ever again. If you want to

check it out, I'll leave a link down

below. Habit number five, using a smart

context commander. This one's slightly

more complicated, so let me show you

what it does. First, I'm reading this

article on tax regulation, and to be

honest, I'm kind of lost. So, I

highlight the paragraphs I'm confused

about. Go all the way to the right here,

click share, and I'm going to select

this AI actions shortcut I created, and

boom, I get three options. Quick

summary, draft reply or explain like I'm

five. I select that last option, and

this opens up ChachiBT. I tap twice to

paste. I'll explain why later. And check

this out. Uh there's already a prompt up

top that says explain simply with real

world analogy based on followed by the

text that I selected. So this is

basically the text replacement feature

on steroids. Right? Instead of typing a

keyword, I've assigned different prompts

to each one of these menu options.

Here's another example. When I'm away

from desktop, I receive a low stakes

email that doesn't require much thought.

I highlight the email body, tap share,

select the AI action shortcut, tap

paste, and as you can see, the email

body is up top here with the prompt

below, and I can start immediately

adding my thoughts to the reply. Now,

onto the shortcut itself. As you can

see, it's a bit complicated to set up.

So, I'll share a link to the shortcut

for you to download. And after you make

a copy, you need to long press on the

shortcut, go into details, and make sure

the show in share sheet is enabled.

You'll then see the AI action shortcut

appear in your spreadsheet. I'm going to

scroll all the way to the bottom as you

can see. And then I'm going to click

edit actions. I'm going to scroll all

the way to the bottom again. Press plus.

Add AI actions to favorites. Click done.

And it's going to be pinned up top here.

You can, of course, customize the

shortcut to fit your needs. For example,

within the shortcut settings, you can

add new item. Let's name this meeting

notes, for example. Scroll all the way

to the bottom. Search for text. Drag

that under meeting notes, the meeting

notes section, and type your prompt

here. I'm just going to say analyze

meeting notes and extract action items,

owners, and deadlines. All right. Click

return twice and tap select variable

and select the shortcut variable all the

way at the top right here in order to

pass the selected text through. All

right. Then we're going to search for

copy to clipboard. Drag that below the

text card and it updates automatically

to copy text to clipboard and there are

no changes required here. Search for the

final action start conversation with

chatbt and move this below the clipboard

step. One annoying thing I have to

mention for now, this start action

option does nothing. And this is why we

still need to tap paste in catchbt

instead of the text being passed over

automatically. It's a well-known issue

awaiting a fix from OpenAI. But for now,

we're going to click done to save the

shortcut. And to test it out, let's go

over to my notes from my PT session.

Click share. And I'm going to click AI

actions. And I see the fourth option up

here, meeting notes. I'm going to click

that. I'm going to tap paste. And if I

scroll all the way up, you'll see the

prompt appear at the very top. And

everything below that are the notes. And

I can just run this. And let's fast

forward a little bit here. And there we

go. It works. If you enjoyed these tips,

you might want to check out some higher

level strategies on how to stay ahead in

AI. See you there. And in the meantime,

have a great one.
