How to use chatgpt for free unlimited
Set up a practical request router across multiple reputable free AI tools and a local fallback so you can keep working even when one service hits limits. In 15 minutes you’ll have a repeatable flow that batches tasks, routes them intelligently, and preserves outputs for reuse.
Step 1, free.
Copy this, paste it into your AI, and swap the [BRACKETS] for your own details.
Setup: Clarify your task list
[GOALS], [WEEKLY TASKS], [DEADLINES], [CONSTRAINTS], [WORK EXAMPLES/PAST OUTPUTS], [TOOLS ALREADY IN USE] Act as a pragmatic workflow analyst and turn scattered work into a prioritised, AI-suitable task list that can be routed and reused. Work through it like this: 1) Scan [GOALS] and [DEADLINES] to identify outcomes that actually move the needle this fortnight. 2) From [WEEKLY TASKS] and [WORK EXAMPLES/PAST OUTPUTS], group similar work (drafting, research synthesis, formatting, transcription, data cleaning). Standardise names and collapse duplicates. 3) For each group, define the desired output format, inputs, and success criteria using concrete examples from [WORK EXAMPLES/PAST OUTPUTS]. 4) Score each task on effort (T‑shirt size S/M/L), frequency (daily/weekly/adhoc), and reuse potential (templateable? yes/no). Note any constraints from [CONSTRAINTS] and [TOOLS ALREADY IN USE]. 5) Prioritise with a simple rule: high impact + high frequency + templateable rises to the top; hard/low impact falls. Give me the output as: - A table: Task | Outcome (what “good” looks like) | Inputs | Frequency | Deadline sensitivity | Success criteria | T‑shirt size | Reuse potential | Priority (High/Med/Low) | Notes/Constraints. - Then a short section titled “Top 5 for Routing” listing the five highest‑leverage tasks. Quality bar: Anyone on your team should be able to run the top 5 tasks without asking you what to produce or where inputs come from. If any field is unknown, mark MISSING and add a one‑line question in Notes to resolve it later.
