Ep 79 - Getting Your Team to Use ChatGPT: Real Lessons from Bill Gross of the Nuclear Energy Institute
n this episode, Cary talks with Bill Gross, CIO of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). Bill shares the story of how his CEO tasked him with preparing their 100+ person organization for an AI-powered future. With a background in computer science but little hands-on AI experience, Bill dove headfirst into learning—and then teaching—ChatGPT use cases across NEI. They dig into OpenAI's "Projects" feature, how NEI structures AI training, and the cultural shifts that come with rolling out a new technology at scale. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Projects in ChatGPT are game-changing: Bill highlights how uploading shared context files to a Project makes it easy to run multiple threads with consistent knowledge, offering more dynamic support than Custom GPTs alone. Champion programs work—but need structure: NEI's internal “JEDAI” champions (cute, right?) helped spread AI adoption, but Bill notes the importance of setting clear expectations and ensuring they get leadership support and time to follow through. Start at the top: Bill prioritized executive buy-in, doing hands-on ChatGPT sessions with leadership early on, which paid off by fostering a culture of experimentation and support from the highest levels. 👤 About Bill Gross Bill Gross is the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at the Nuclear Energy Institute, where he’s leading the charge to integrate AI tools—especially ChatGPT—across the organization. With a technical background and a fresh curiosity about modern AI, he’s become both a student and a teacher, guiding NEI’s staff through training, use-case discovery, and cultural change. Bill’s practical approach—focused on upskilling, real-world applications, and cross-team collaboration—offers a blueprint for any organization trying to responsibly and effectively adopt AI tools.

Ep 65 - ChatGPT's Memory - What Does It Really Know About You?
Episode Summary: In this solo episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston shares a personal and exploratory dive into ChatGPT’s growing memory capabilities. Inspired by a LinkedIn post, Cary experiments with using ChatGPT as an accountability and collaboration partner—an idea that feels especially relevant since becoming a one-person business after two decades of co-running an ad agency. He walks listeners through how he asked ChatGPT what it knows about him, how he corrected and added information, and ultimately, how he's testing its ability to proactively check in with him every Monday using a custom agenda. This episode is packed with real talk about habits, self-reflection, and the emotional side of working solo—all through the lens of AI-assisted growth. 3 Key Takeaways: ChatGPT’s memory can be used to build a personal, proactive accountability partner—Cary demonstrates how feeding it detailed information allows it to better serve ongoing needs. Asking ChatGPT “What do you know about me personally and professionally?” is a great first step to understanding and shaping how the tool perceives you. Even solo professionals can simulate the benefits of a business partner by using AI to fill gaps in collaboration, accountability, and personal growth.

Ep 57 - Adding Consequences To ChatGPT's Work
In this solo episode, host Cary Weston shares a powerful tip and challenge for improving ChatGPT responses. He explores how adding "real-world consequences" to a prompt can lead to more accurate, thoughtful, and thorough AI-generated content. By reframing instructions and emphasizing the potential consequences of incomplete work, Cary found that ChatGPT provided more detailed and higher-quality responses. He challenges listeners to try this technique and share their results. Key Takeaways Set Clear Stakes for Better AI Responses – When using ChatGPT, explaining why accuracy matters—especially by adding real-world consequences—can lead to more precise and complete responses. The “Busy Middle” is Where AI Saves Time – Breaking work into three phases—ideation, the busy middle, and polishing—helps maximize AI’s strengths. Using transcripts and structured input lets ChatGPT handle the “busy middle” and make content creation more efficient. Framing AI as an Intern Helps – Treating ChatGPT like an intern, providing clear instructions, background, and expectations, ensures better results. Without proper guidance, the output may be incomplete or generic. Are you ready to use ChatGPT to be more productive and efficient in your work?
