This one wasn’t planned, but we’re still figuring this out. NBD.
I haven’t committed to a cadence for the newsletter thing yet, but I’m doing it so…that’s enough. I thought I did something pretty cool with AI today and I thought I could tell you about it. Read on!
Current vibe.
For obvious reasons, I have to end my longest and most intimate relationship...with ChatGPT.
So now I'm going through the long-procrastinated process of reviewing and assessing the intelligence I've been informing for nearly 3 years straight.
As I begin the process, I feel silly for my surprise at how well I've naturally demonstrated exactly who I am (with nothing but free will and a capable tool). I love how it describes my work, the patterns it noticed, when and how I assert myself... so so many things.
Of course, it wants to make me happy, so it probably wouldn't tell me I'm an asshole. But at the same time, it's providing an excellent operations manual for my business and a lot of my life.
It'll probably take me a few days to satisfy my curiosity and need for reflection, but by next week I'll be breaking up with ChatGPT for good...and diving directly into something quite serious with a new friend.
Here’s the first prompt I used (wrote this with Claude):
“Working Style Assessment: Please analyze our entire conversation history and provide me with a comprehensive readout covering:
Communication & Preferences
How I prefer to receive information (level of detail, format, structure)
My communication style and tone preferences
Any patterns in how I ask questions or request help
Topics or areas where I tend to be more directive vs. collaborative
Work Habits & Patterns
Common time patterns or urgency indicators in my requests
How I approach problem-solving (detail-oriented vs. big-picture, analytical vs. creative)
My decision-making style and what information I need before committing
Patterns in what kinds of tasks I prioritize or delegate
Preferences & Constraints
Technical preferences (tools, languages, frameworks I favor)
Quality standards and what "done" looks like for different project types
Risk tolerance (how much exploration vs. proven approaches I prefer)
Budget or efficiency constraints that appear to guide my decisions
Rules of Thumb & Working Agreements
Implicit agreements or conventions I've established in our working relationship
Shortcuts or assumptions that help us work more efficiently
Red flags or mistakes I want to avoid
Any recurring feedback I've given about what works well vs. poorly”
It was honestly pretty good but wasn’t written from the right perspective/format so I followed-up with this to get me my first usable output:
“Turn it into a complete brief for a new employee or agent onboarding supporting me and my work.”
That’s it! I really love the output so far. As I work through this, I plan to keep any follow-up ideas Chat gives me to work on with my new boo.
Let me know if you use this!
TTFN
