Are you an academic, researcher, lecturer, or postgraduate student using ChatGPT for research, teaching, academic writing, literature review, data analysis, or thesis development?

Creating a ChatGPT account isn't enough. The way you set up and configure your ChatGPT account can significantly affect how useful it becomes for your academic work.

In this practical guide, I walk you through setting up ChatGPT for academic research, teaching, postgraduate study, and scholarly productivity.
In this video, you will learn:

✅ How to configure your ChatGPT account for academic and research work
✅ How to use Custom Instructions and personalisation effectively
✅ How to provide ChatGPT with the right context about your academic role and research interests
✅ How to organise your conversations and projects for different research activities
✅ How to use ChatGPT for literature searching and literature analysis

I will also demonstrate how to think of ChatGPT not simply as a chatbot, but as an AI research and academic productivity assistant that can support different stages of the research process.

Whether you are a university lecturer, PhD student, master's student, early-career researcher, or academic professional, this video will help you build a more effective ChatGPT workflow.

Watch to the end, because the goal is not just to show you where to click. It is to help you understand how to configure ChatGPT so that it works more intelligently within your academic context.
