What Can ChatGPT Actually Do for Creatives?

AI won't replace your creativity. But it can help you tap into it faster.

Eliott Wahba, CEO of DolFinContent, put it best:

"I don’t use ChatGPT as a writer. I use it as a collaborator. I build out a character in the platform—someone who’ll challenge my thinking. Almost every time, it helps unlock something fresh."

Here’s how creatives are putting ChatGPT to work:

Creative Inspiration

Think of it as your on-demand brainstorming partner.

Smarter Prompting

Writing great prompts is an art form—and ChatGPT can help you master it.

Workflow Efficiency

From optimizing your day to structuring project timelines, AI helps the you behind the creativity stay on track.

9 ChatGPT Use Cases for Creatives

1. Boosting Your Prompt Writing Skills

Good AI output starts with a well-written prompt.

Prompt:"How can I structure an AI prompt to generate blog visuals in line with our brand guidelines?"

ChatGPT Tip: Ask it to return 3–5 prompts for different use cases—landing pages, infographics, social carousels.

2. Jumpstarting Creative Direction

Blank canvas got you frozen? Let ChatGPT generate initial ideas.

Prompt:"Act like a creative director for a new eco-friendly beverage brand. What concepts should I explore for their next ad campaign?"

It’ll spit out metaphors, themes, even visual treatments you can build from.

3. Structuring Your Week Like a Pro

Burnout doesn’t start with overwork—it starts with no plan. Use AI to build a balanced creative workweek.

Prompt:"Here’s my to-do list and daily routine. Can you organize my week for max focus and efficiency?"

Upload your workload and life commitments, and let ChatGPT build your schedule.

4. Getting More Specific Client Feedback

Nothing derails momentum like vague feedback. If a client says “make it pop,” use ChatGPT to reframe your ask.

Prompt:"What are 10 questions I can ask to get specific, actionable feedback on logo drafts?"

It’ll help you guide the conversation and reduce rounds of edits.

5. Brainstorming Concepts for Stakeholders

Need 3 versions of an idea for your client to choose from?

Prompt:"Come up with 3 distinct video ad concepts for a tech startup’s app launch. Highlight innovation, ease-of-use, and lifestyle value."

Rinse and repeat as needed.

6. Writing Effective Midjourney Prompts

Midjourney is only as powerful as the prompts you feed it. Use ChatGPT to write more nuanced instructions.

Prompt (Step-by-Step):

1. Ask ChatGPT what makes a strong Midjourney prompt.
2. Give it your core idea (e.g., "abstract tech landscape with vibrant gradients").
3. Ask it to suggest multiple prompt variations.

Test each result and iterate.

7. Analyzing a Brand’s Tone of Voice

Designers often influence brand storytelling. To stay aligned, ask ChatGPT to analyze brand tone from an excerpt.

Prompt:"Based on this paragraph from the website, describe this brand’s tone of voice."

It will return results like: "friendly, conversational, tech-savvy."

8. Generating Temporary Copy for Design Layouts

Waiting on copy? Don't stop your workflow.

Prompt:"Generate 5 tagline options under 10 words for a community app. Tone: uplifting, modern, human."

It’s not final copy—but it gives your layouts something to work with.

9. Rewriting Messages for Clarity or Tact

Need to push back on a client’s vague brief—but politely? Let AI help.

Prompt:"Rephrase this client feedback email to be concise and professional."

Upload your notes and get a version that’s respectful and direct.
