Step #1 to use AI better: get rid of ChatGPT RIGHT NOW
So, what's the problem?
❌ The AI has no hands. It can't actually do anything.
❌ The AI doesn't have the real-time data the task needs.
❌ You're not giving the AI enough context (and ChatGPT's built-in memory can make it worse, pulling in irrelevant info).
Using AI better is not just chatting with a high-intelligence agent. It's about constructing the environment, letting it work with your data, and removing the manual works for you.
My brutal recommendation: start using CODING AGENTS like Claude Code, Codex, whatever.
🤖 You thought they're just for coding? They work for almost everything. Anthropic is clearly not targeting software development only.
🤖 They already connect easily to thousands of tools like Slack, Google Drive, and Salesforce. You name it.
🤖 Smart solo workers are quietly adopting them.
Why this is going to help:
🚀 Heard a lot about the agentic loop? Let me tell you: these tools already have one built in. The agent tests things by itself, so you don't have to keep prompting and saying 'AI is still dumb'.
🚀 If your machine already has your meeting notes, project briefs, and other key data, the agent finds them through agentic retrieval automatically. No more copy-pasting into ChatGPT and missing things.
🚀 Start accumulating your assets: your project details, your rules, your workflow, your working style. Make them explicit and available for the long run.
The goal isn't a smarter chatbot. It's an AI that has an environment to work in.
I know sometimes these tools can feel stressful to look at. Let me know, and we can spend some time getting through it together.
