Free guide

You don't need a course. You need six habits.

The AI Catch-Up is a short guide for experienced professionals who keep meaning to get around to this. Six habits, most under ten minutes. Every prompt in it works in the free version of Claude or ChatGPT.

What's in it

Six habits. No theory.

Each one is aimed at something that already annoys you.

  • 01

    The email you've been avoiding

    Hand your worst email to AI. Low stakes, high annoyance, right place to start.

  • 02

    Five-minute meeting prep

    Walk in with three points and two questions nobody else thought to ask.

  • 03

    The document you didn't read

    Summarize first, then read the two sections that matter.

  • 04

    Friday's status report

    Keep rough notes all week. Let AI write the draft.

  • 05

    The decision you're about to make

    Ask it to argue against you. It won't unless you insist.

  • 06

    The prompt file

    Ten minutes, once. This is the one that makes the other five stick.

Every prompt is written out in full. Copy them, edit them so they sound like your job, keep the ones that work.

Who it's for

Written for people who are good at their job already.

Most AI advice assumes you're starting from zero, or that you have a spare weekend, or that you're worried about the wrong things. This assumes none of that.

It assumes you've been doing this twenty years, you've watched a few technologies come and go, and you don't need to be told the world is changing. You need the specific thing to do on Tuesday.

There's nothing in it about the future of work.

The honest limitation

What it won't do.

It won't make you an AI expert. It won't help if your job is already mostly AI. And it's six habits, not a strategy, so if you're trying to decide what your team should buy, that's a different conversation and there's a link at the bottom of this page.

What it will do is give back a few hours a week and make you visibly better at the parts of your job people notice.
