Episode Description
You've put in the work on your prompts. You know how to give AI the right context, set the right tone, ask the right questions. But then, mid-conversation, something shifts. The AI starts making things up, forgetting what you told it five minutes ago, contradicting itself.
In this How I AI episode, Neo and I unpack what is actually happening when AI gets unreliable mid-conversation, including how to read the warning signs that tell you it is time to close a thread and start fresh.
What you'll learn:
- Why AI gets unreliable mid-conversation, and what's actually going on
- What the 60% rule is and why it matters
- Which file types quietly eat through your context window
- The warning signs that it's time to close a thread and start fresh
- Practical AI tools for productivity and focus
- Real-world AI workflows used by high performers
- How to use AI at work without burning out
- Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load
