There’s a fix for that, and it can completely change how you work. It’s called a briefing document, and it turns Gen AI into a tool that sounds like you, knows your context, and delivers exactly what you need, without all the back-and-forth.  In this episode, Neo Aplin, Inventium’s Gen AI guru, explains how to create and use briefing documents so you get better, faster results from your AI every time.  We discuss:  Why AI struggles to understand your context, and how briefing documents fix that  What to include in your briefing doc (and how long it should be)  When to use one mega document vs. multiple smaller ones  Simple checks to make sure your AI is actually using your briefing doc  Key quotes:  “A briefing document is like a cheat sheet for your AI, so it knows your voice, your goals, and what you care about.”  “If you’re sick of hearing, ‘I hope this email finds you well,’ your AI probably isn’t reading your briefing doc.”  “Upload the document once, and you’ll spend way less time tweaking outputs.”    My latest book The Health Habit is out now.
