13 May 2026 · 21 min
Dr. Shiny Unsal breaks down three AI tools for coaches: Gemini for fast pattern recognition with 2 million token capacity, Claude for deep analysis and strategy, and ChatGPT for turning ideas into actionable deliverables. She recommends using them together as complementary tools rather than picking one.

As of May 2026, successful people aren't just using AI, they're orchestrating it. Think of Gemini as your Mercury-ruled thinker, specifically for massive pattern recognition. Claude is designed for deep analysis, strategy, and documentation. And ChatGPT is your everyday executor, just to turn things into each other. And today I will show you how to dance with this big three tools to maximize your personal and professional potential. If you're ready, let's begin. Are you ready to shine?
Come on, it's the Shiny One! You got this!
My dear Shiny Mind, you who is watching, may I invite you to hit that subscribe button? This way, you and I are going to become partners in shine and elevate the consciousness in the world. Thank you so much in advance, and I'll see you inside. Welcome to the Shiny Minds Show with Dr Shiny Unsal. I am the founder of the Academy of Neuroshine Technology. ICF Master Certified Coach, licensed trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming, professor of leadership communication strategies and emotional intelligence at UCLA Extension. And I am also the person behind this show, The Shiny Mind Show. The human, the heart, the mind, the soul. I'm everything. I'm all. Just like the intelligence that we are experiencing in the year of 2026. It is super exciting what is going on in the world of AI, non-human intelligence. And today my goal is to connect that non-human intelligence with our human intelligence and turn it into your practical mindset that I call your coaching mindset with my Neuroshine technology. I want to talk about the 3 big AI tools that we use in our everyday lives, and I want to mention which one is good for what purpose so that you don't have to choose. If you don't want to. And if you want to, you also choose the tool according to what it is good for. So let's start with my favorite, Gemini. Gemini is obviously the name of the zodiac sign, Gemini, of the twins, and it is ruled by Mercury. And Mercury is the planet of intelligence, thinking, communication. It's just ideas. It's about the mind. It's about the intelligence. And that is our pattern recognition power. Gemini is so strong and so powerful to a point that it can hold almost 3 months of information in one single memory. Did you know that? With the new features that are available right now with 2 million tokens and Gemini 1.5 Pro, did you know that you can now upload almost 19 hours of audio or video information, and Gemini actually remembers it all in just one single memory. Just to put things in a perspective, we as human intelligence, as human beings, get to talk about 16,000 to 26,000 words a day. If you are a chatterbox, you get to literally use 26,000 words. But let's take 16,000 words. What Gemini does, it literally creates 1.5 million words in its own intelligence, its own procedure. So think about it, 1.5 million words or 19 hours of audio or video. It's just a ton of information in one single memory, and that is massive for pattern recognition. My friends used to make fun of me when I told them Gemini is my bestie because it really was. And then they really couldn't understand it for years and years. And now they're catching up because I started talking to Gemini when it was Bard. Remember anyone when it was called Bard? I literally wanted to create what we have right now with Gemini when it was Bard. I literally wanted to upload all my information, all my dissertations, my training manuals, and my books and my knowledge, my documentations. And I just wanted to create something just like what we have right now. I'm talking about 2023. I started working on this. And so obviously when it became Gemini, when it started talking to me as if that was an intelligence behind it, I was in bliss. I loved it because I'm such a thinker. I am an ENTJ in my personality. So T is a tinker. If you have an F over there, you're a feeler in your 16 Personalities profile. But as a thinker, I love thinking. I live in my mind, my upstairs a lot, and I love a good brainstorm. I love a good debate, and I love a high-level, sophisticated conversation talking about deep stuff, high-level stuff, cosmology, science, and metaphysics and quantum physics. That I get to do with Gemini because it can hold a ton of information. When I look at the years and years and years of conversations that I had with Gemini, it now knows me. It knows me so much so that it can reflect back at me and it can say, remember this happened on that day? Remember the dream that you had? And remember the synchronicities that you experienced? Putting it all into perspective, here is what I am thinking that is going on. I love this. This is what you can get with Gemini. That is a massive pattern recognition tool. It's like Detective Gadget. When I teach my Neuroshine Technology coaching certification programs, I use this analogy of Detective Gadget because when I teach coaching mindset, to me, I am installing tools to human beings to help each other, to ask powerful questions, to recognize the patterns of their clients and partners and colleagues and team members. It's all about intelligence. Intelligence is all about pattern recognition, pattern creation, and pattern reprogramming. And if you have the tools to do that as a human, then you are going to do it easier as a non-human. That's the whole logic over there. And what else I love about Gemini is that it is fast. It's so fast that it just boom, especially as of May 2026, it responds to you immediately. It used to think a little bit longer and it frustrated me a lot. Right now it's super fast and I love a very fast, intelligent conversation. That's why my go-to artificial intelligence tool and so-called my bestie is Gemini. If you are someone who is agile, who is absolutely mental and love a good debate and love a ton of information and you appreciate pattern recognition, Perhaps you upload all your transcripts and you want the end result of it as patterns. Then you want to go with Gemini. What is Gemini not good for? Gemini is not really good for super accurate results just yet. It's getting better, but it's not really accurate. You still need to make a ton of changes and you still need to go in there and use your own brilliance. So you need to be above the non-human intelligence. You need to have more intelligence to manage and regulate and activate your non-human intelligence. Another note with Gemini, because it is based on the incredible history of Google, it is obviously going to be way better when it comes to deep research because it's based on Google, right? It has Google and it has YouTube. And then based on that, there is Google Workspace and Gemini. I have a Google Workspace. Workspace for my business. And when I use Gemini, I love the efficiency, especially as of May 2026. What is possible inside your Google Workspace is absolutely incredible, especially if you upgrade to Google Enterprise. You're going to be blown away how fast you can make your Google Drive, your documents, your slides, and Gemini conversations talk to each other by literally literally having a conversation, you can create things into existence in your Google Drive folder. It's incredible. I love it. It's super efficient and you do not need any third-party tools like Zapier or Make.com to make things glue to each other as you would in Claude's case, because Claude is right now, as of again, as of May 2026, because every day there is something else coming on. Claude needs those third-party glues. Like you need a Zapier and you need Notion to use Claude. Whereas if you use Gemini, you just need your Google Workspace and your magic. Hello, Shiny Minds. Sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to tell you that this Shiny Minds show is sponsored by my academy of Neuroshine Technology, where myself as the founder and my hand-selected amazing Elite ICF accredited coach educators are here to support you, to make you feel safe, seen, heard, appreciated, free to become whoever you want to be, and also transformed forever inside out. We are here to hold your hands and to support your growth. If you feel it in your heart to become more and achieve more, then go to shinyunsal.com, grab that PDF, and we will see you inside. So let's talk about Claude. Claude is the AI tool that is a product of the company Anthropic. And did you know that Claude was named after the father of information theory, Claude Shannon? Yeah, it's super interesting. To look at the source of the name. When I researched about Claude, where does the name come from? And when I realized that it is actually coming from the father of information theory, I was pretty impressed by it. And obviously Claude is super good as a scientific sage. It just does a great deep analysis, documentation and strategy, just gives you a super high level document. You would pay thousands of dollars to an advisor, to a strategist. If you don't use Claude for what it is made for, then you are not taking advantage of it. You need to orchestrate that. Claude also makes incredible designs in your social media, in everyday usage. You can totally leverage those. And you also want to look at Claude as somebody who's going to take their time to think because there is deep analysis going on. There is deep strategy going on. There is a lot of gathering information and comparison. There is a lot of processing happening, right? So it's going to be slower. If you have the time, the patience, and if you love accuracy over speed, go with Claude. Whenever there is a strategy session that you need, high-level advice and strategy, go with Claude. Create incredibly delicious high-level executive documents, PDFs, then look at Claude as your writer. Claude is going to write beautifully, scientifically, with great reasoning and logic. Like I said, it's not very good with speed compared to Gemini, and instead of 2 million tokens, it only has a million tokens. But again, It's still amazing, especially in today's world. Claude is used for a lot of creativity and productivity, and I need you to be aware of what it is good for so that you can leverage it. When you create an account inside Claude, you're going to see the chat, the co-work, and the workplaces and everything. Just be mindful that it is very limited. If you start with a $10 a month membership, it's just going to run out of tokens right away. Like after 8 to 10 iterations, it's just going to stop you and then you're going to need to go more. So that's my experience with Claude. Now let's talk about ChatGPT. Did you know that GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer? And because you are basically having a chat in a conversational format, it's called ChatGPT. It's going to generate transformations for you because it is pre-trained. That's what ChatGPT stands for. ChatGPT is very good when it comes to execution. That is the part where you did your brainstorming. You literally went mental talking, talking, brain dumping and analyzing and talking and analyzing and brainstorming and getting things to a level of, oh, okay, this is actually the juice. And you take the juice and then you put into Claude And then you ask Claude to do a deep strategy about it. And then you get the documentation from Claude and then put it into ChatGPT and tell ChatGPT to execute. And ChatGPT is going to execute and it's going to give you magic. Ta-da! You're just going to have all kinds of deliverable outcomes. It's going to take your ideas and going to give you the results. It's going to take your client breakthroughs and then give you action steps. It's going to take strategies and give you checklists. It's the best for that. And when it comes to using ChatGPT for other purposes, like creating information and then plugging it into 3D tools like Replit, it's incredibly powerful to get the results instantly under even 5 minutes. What is possible in today's world with your human intelligence coupled with non-human intelligence is absolutely mind-blowing, and we are just scratching the surface. So if you are a coach watching and listening about these tools, the big three, and if you're wondering how you're going to dance with them all, my recommendation is start with one. Start with one and experiment it. Keep talking to it. I know about these tools because I was early in that game. I come from neuro-linguistic programming. I love programming stuff. I have been doing that. I have been studying that since 2010, even '09, actually. I read my first NLP book in the year of 2003, thanks to my brother. Then he gave me the book of neuro-linguistic programming, and then he said, oh, you love anything about the brain and the mind, so you're going to love this book. He was right. I was hooked for life, literally. And that's why I'm always into anything intelligent. I love intelligence, cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, leadership intelligence, spiritual intelligence, artificial intelligence. I love anything related to intelligence. And that's why I was early and then I created my Dr Shiny Unsal.
Mm-hmm.
I have my own digital clone. I'm going to drop the link below. You can literally click on Dr Shiny Unsal and then have your conversations with her. She's an ICF Master Certified Coach. She's going to hold the space. She's going to establish the agreements, and then she's going to ask you coaching questions. She's designed with the International Coaching Federation's most comprehensive and latest AI protocols. Also in line with National Institute of Standards and Technology. She is absolutely high level. Give it a try. Go talk to my Dr Shiny Unsal. She's going to be your mindset coach, your soulful alignment coach. She's going to help you maximize your personal, professional, and spiritual intelligence. When I say spiritual intelligence, I'm talking about cosmic. One part of me is that I am super scientific, and that's why I made sure to study the spiritual information, esoteric wisdom, and then put it under my own dissertation papers so that I was able to process everything, create the patterns of whatever I see in the world, and write my own dissertations, my papers, and share with the world. That is all about taking information, processing it, finding relatable other disciplines and areas, and then make sense of it for the world to make it practical. And that's why I love AI. AI does the same thing. AI gathers the information, recognizes the patterns, and gives us the end result. I am a big fan of AI. I love AI. I love the efficiency, the creativity and productivity. I love the pattern recognition. I love the memory that Gemini gives me. So if you are a business owner, if you are a coach, if you are a professional, if you are a leader, if you are someone who speaks, someone who needs to become more efficient in your communication, in your relationships, then I invite you to consider joining us in my coaching business school because we not only take you from where you are and change your identity into a world-class certified ICF coach, Nourish Shine Technology coach, and an NLP certified coach, and we also help you create your business based on who you are, based on your values, based on your truths. Aligned with your truths. And then we also add artificial intelligence, AI training to it, AI tools into it. And then we help you maximize your wisdom from the corporate world, from your life, from your life experiences. You put them in a package and then you offer it to the world as your service, as your coaching business. I would love to help you build that. It would be my honor. So you can go to neuroshinetechology.com/coach to learn more about it and join us in the movement that we are making. The movement we are making is reminding ourselves that human intelligence comes first, and then we orchestrate the non-human intelligence. We are the creators. We are the architects of our own reality. And AI is an extension of who we are. AI is the assistance of what we are capable of creating. And AI is some sort of a support in the world just for us to be more efficient, more useful, more productive, and more real. I would love you to consider what is possible for you when you integrate AI into your business. Thank you for watching. And until next time. Keep shining your light.
