One Thing

One prompt to try. Every Monday.

For people who don't work in AI and don't want to. One thing, one paragraph on why, and what to do if it goes wrong. No mailing list — it's just here.

Monday 22 September 2026

Ask it what it doesn't know about you.

Based on everything I've told you so far, what are the three most important things you still don't know about my business?

If you've never told it anything, it'll ask sensible questions — and that's your first house rule half-written. If you have, the gaps it names are the gaps in your rules. Either way, don't answer with anything about a real client. That's rule one, and it's the reason it's safe to do this at all.

If it goes wrong: if it answers with a sales pitch about itself instead of questions about you, it has ignored the instruction. Type "You didn't answer my question. Try again, and only list the three things." Holding it to the question is most of the skill.

Earlier

Back next Monday. If one of these changes what you do, I'd like to hear about it — email me.
