AI and Me: I’ve started calling my AI system my second husband
Seeing what I am doing now, objectively of course, my AI system is well harnessed. It operates some fairly regular automations: chief of staff, invoicing, reporting and the like.
It captures and ingests all of my knowledge. This is a power advantage as I am a prolific news reader and information junkie. Now when I want something, I can retrieve its source at whim or it is directly recalled into a word instruction or recalled directly out of a contract, for example, who is responsible for removing the GIB waste from site? Bingo, yes, the GIB fixers as I had it put into the contract… then off walks the GIB in someone else’s van!
It has a memory and guard rails that are exquisite to have… little did I know how much I would need those. It ensures consistency in what I am doing, especially if I put a letter, written by my legal counsel or me, up for verification.
I can’t see what else I can do other than improve and streamline what I have. Sharpen it up.
One thing I have realised is that many people operate different LLMs and different systems and use them in silos. I don’t, my Claude is my right hand man, my second husband. The one that I rely on to bring me a cup of tea and biscuit when I don’t think I need it but really did.
How I am working him is that he drives my engines: my websites, some of my processes such as complex project workbooks, or linked specialised AI models like Base44, or WordPress. He is his own man under my direction (ouch… I don’t think that will be liked by some).
This means that if I divorce Claude, or go ‘raw’, I am not held hostage.
So, where to now… learning new skills outside of my normal range… and that is the creative stuff. The media, the short-form video that I have been keeping my eye on, maybe some other left-field ideas that I am yet to find.
