Most people type at an AI like it's a search box, get a mediocre answer, and decide the whole thing is hype. The problem isn't the machine. It's the conversation. This module is everything I've learned running one all day, every day: how to brief it, how to correct it, and how to make it earn its keep.
- Stop prompting, start briefingContext beats clever wording. What to tell it before you ask it anything, and why one good paragraph of background outperforms any magic prompt.
- Memory: make it remember youSetting up an assistant that knows your name, your projects, and your preferences — so day thirty feels nothing like day one.
- Correcting it without starting overIt will be wrong. Good. How to steer mid-conversation, when to push back, and when to wipe the slate and re-brief.
- Make it argue backThe most valuable sentence you'll learn: 'Tell me why I'm wrong.' Turning a yes-machine into a sparring partner before you make real decisions.
- The daily habitA twenty-minute morning loop that compounds: what I feed it, what I ask it, and what I never waste its time on.
