I’m shifting to an A.I. first model, and all of my employees will be required to follow the new direction.
Here’s the email I sent my team this morning:
First: There will no longer be in-person stand-ups at 10am on Mondays. From now on, send updates in prompt form so we can get Claude to summarise and generate meeting minutes as well as your weekly to-do list.
Second: For our team page you must generate your headshot using ChatGPT for consistency. We’re fully remote but we’re also a strong brand, and hell if I’m going to put up with happy snaps with kitchens and baby rooms as backgrounds for our team photo page. Mine is attached below, along with the prompt I used so you can copy-paste.
Third: After completing the first and second steps above, your job will be to create a prompt library that fully replaces you with A.I. within 3 months. In 3 months, you’re out. If you fail to create your prompt library, you’re out.
Fourth: First item item for next week’s A.I. only standup agenda is to remind me to generate these updates using Perplexity (Claude is for summaries and minutes only, ChatGPT is strictly for headshots and… whatever I said above).
Sharing in case it’s helpful for anyone pivoting to the new normal.
Beep boop.
ps. Here’s the prompt I gave ChatGPT and the almost perfect headshot that it generated on the first go (no joke).
