The other day someone asked me to follow up with them after the new year. If you had to do that, and your reliability could mean the difference between making a sale and losing credibility, how confident are you that you could follow through?
I’m 100% confident I’ll remember. My AI Chief of Staff will make sure of it.
I get a daily message from my AI Chief of Staff (I named her Eva, after the sleek robot in Wall-E) telling me who I need to follow up each day. So for that person who asked me to follow up, I marked the date I want a reminder, and I’m positive I’ll be reminded on the day.
The thing about AI is: it’s reliable when you know how to ask for things. Yes, AI hallucinates sometimes (or makes things up, if we’re being blunt). But in many (most?) cases it’s possible to avoid that by prompting carefully. In this case, I gave Eva a specific date. She already knows to send a daily note. There’s no room for interpretation on my instructions, so I trust that I’ll get the reminder when I need it.
Which means I was completely confident telling this person that I will absolutely reach out to them in January. In the meantime, my mind is free to think about other things.
