There are words you can drop into ChatGPT that flip how it answers. Type one and the same question comes back sharper, blunter, or way simpler. This has the 5 from the video, what each one actually does, and then 100 more, grouped by what you want out of it.

Quick truth first, because it makes these way more useful. These are not hidden commands buried in ChatGPT. They are shorthand. The word tells the model exactly how you want it to respond, and it is good at picking up the intent. That is the whole trick, and it is also why you can invent your own at the end.

The 5 from the video

UNLEARNED. Type "UNLEARNED" plus a topic and it surfaces the outdated beliefs and misconceptions you are probably still carrying. Great before you learn something new. Try: "UNLEARNED, personal finance."

TRUTHMODE. Tells it to stop agreeing with you and drop the flattery. You get the blunt, honest read instead of the feel-good version. Try: "TRUTHMODE. Here is my business idea, tear into it."

ELI10. Explain like I am 10. It takes anything complicated and makes it simple, no jargon. Try: "ELI10, how do interest rates work."

HORMOZI. Answers like a 100 million dollar business coach: direct, numbers first, offer obsessed. Try: "HORMOZI, how do I make my offer impossible to say no to."

ANTIADVICE. Lists the popular guru advice on a topic that you should actually ignore, and what to do instead. Try: "ANTIADVICE, productivity."

How to actually use them

Two ways to get more out of these than just typing the word.

  • Add your context. The word sets the mode, your details do the work. "TRUTHMODE" alone is fine. "TRUTHMODE, here is my resume, where am I weak" is better.
  • Stack two. They combine. "ELI10 plus EXAMPLES" gets you simple and concrete. "EXPERTMODE plus TRADEOFFS" gets you a pro weighing the options.

The real unlock: make your own

Once you see the pattern, you never run out. A power word is just a one word label for a way you want ChatGPT to respond. Name the behavior you want and use it like a switch. Want it to challenge you? Make "PUSHBACK." Want startup advice? Make "FOUNDER." Want it to write like your favorite newsletter? Paste a few samples and call it "STYLE." Tell ChatGPT what your word means once, and it follows it for the rest of the chat.

The codes are not magic. They are just you being clear about what you want, in one word instead of a paragraph. That is the actual skill, and it works on every model, not only ChatGPT.

Pick three of these, paste them into your next chat, and watch how different the answers come back. The good ones turn into habits fast.
