This week, in Winton’s AI Lab:
ChatGPT's exciting new Projects feature!

In this week's AI Lab, Winton demonstrated the power of ChatGPT's new Projects feature—a game-changer for organizing and refining your research. 

Unlike the clutter of scattered chats, Projects let you build focused libraries for any topic, from trip planning to freelance work strategies. 

He showed how to use it for a Montana vacation, seamlessly collecting recommendations, creating itineraries, and even uploading documents for personalized planning. 

Unlike Pinterest, which curates images, or Notebook LM, designed for heavy research, ChatGPT Projects focus on practical, conversational applications, making it ideal for freelancers and everyday users. 

The ability to tailor responses, save chats in a single folder, and keep everything organized offers unmatched flexibility. 

Whether you're managing a client project or planning your next adventure, this tool provides clarity, customization, and efficiency, helping you save time and streamline your work like never before.

FEATURE ARTICLE

Coach Heidi reminds us that as a freelancer, you have the unique freedom to explore the hidden gems around you—whenever you want. 

This week’s article is a fun reminder to rediscover the local highlights that make your home special. Too often, we get caught up in routines and forget about the unique attractions nearby. 

From the world’s tiniest museums—like a punk rock museum in a repurposed Icelandic restroom—to stunning natural wonders like Aspen's Maroon Bells or historic landmarks like Alcatraz in San Francisco, there’s so much to explore. 

Take advantage of your flexible schedule to break away from the grind and experience these treasures on your own time. You might be surprised by what you’ve been missing!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

We want to call out an important question asked by a member this week: Should you use more Connects than required to boost a proposal? 

💡 Here’s the Recap: Absolutely—if it’s the right job! Think of extra Connects as making your proposal the “FedEx envelope” on top of the stack, grabbing the client’s attention first. But timing is key—it only works during the first 7 days of the job posting. 📬

On next Tuesday’s call, we’re diving into proposal strategy, including when and how to use those Connects to boost effectively, plus other tactics to win the jobs you want!

Check out this link straight from the Upwork Help files, to all the rules related to boosting your proposals.
