From Curiosity to Strategy: How I Used AI in 2025 🧠✨

What a ride.

If you told me back in January that I’d swap dozens of tabs, 3 AM rabbit holes, and team whiteboards for a daily chat with an AI — I’d have raised an eyebrow.

But here we are, 446 chats later. And let’s just say: ChatGPT and I? We’ve been busy.

🔥 The Stats That Blew My Mind

🧵 446 total chats
💬 3,359 messages sent
🔁 3,702 em-dashes exchanged (no idea why that’s a stat, but I love it)
🖼️ 586 images generated
📅 Chattiest day: December 20
🚀 Top 5% of users by message volume
🌍 Top 1% overall (Yes, I’m that deep in the AI trenches)

Basically, if there were ChatGPT loyalty points, I’d be elite tier.

🧩 My ChatGPT Archetype: The Strategist

According to my AI horoscope (aka the official year-end wrap), I fall into the Strategist archetype — and honestly, it checks out.

Only 3.6% of users fall into this bucket. We’re the ones who:

Think in systems
Zoom out before zooming in
Use AI to evaluate tradeoffs, map directions, and connect dots others miss

In short: I’m not just asking ChatGPT for answers. I’m using it to steer the ship.

🧠 My Favorite Use Cases This Year

Here’s where ChatGPT really earned its keep:

GTM strategy for new products – faster frameworks, sharper messaging
AI tool audits for teams – like having a second brain to scan the stack
Creative brainstorming – think 100 hooks in 10 minutes
Prompt engineering – because vanilla prompts don’t cut it anymore
Client content workflows – cut the chaos, keep the creativity

ChatGPT wasn’t just a productivity tool. It was an extension of my strategic thinking — always ready, never tired, and brutally honest (well, mostly).
