Start building AI-native workflows like the experts
You only need to understand this concept
AI can be such a pain to learn.
You spend so much time trying to get the hang of all the new terms, but you still get frustrated with the output because AI continues to produce slop for you.
This was not what the experts promised when they said that AI would make you more productive.
No matter how hard you try and how many more tutorials you watch, you struggle to get good outputs with AI.
Not forgetting the limited time you have left in your day to experiment with these tools, so it feels like you’re constantly failing.
But the key to using AI effectively is simpler than you think.
Your ultimate goal with AI
Forget about all the engagement bait you see online about AI running an entire company for you, while you just tell it something vague and it does everything for you.
For most people like you and me, this level of output is unattainable (unless you’re willing to burn tons of tokens and hit your rate limits).
To paint a more realistic picture of using AI in my workflows, I set this goal for myself:
AI executes a task and produces an output so good that it’s as if you did the work yourself.
From the outside, your employer would think that you did an amazing job, when all you did was delegate that task to AI.
This takes practice, and it’s not possible to achieve this with just a simple prompt of ‘do all of my daily tasks in my work for me’.
AI is your world-class football player, but it still needs direction from the manager so it performs well for you.
The CSS framework to become better at AI
To stop producing slop with AI, you need to give better instructions to AI.
If you are not specific in what you want it to do, it’ll continue producing slop.
If it doesn’t understand the outcome, workflow, and the bottleneck, it’ll give something generic.
If it can’t connect to the tools that you use in your work to produce that output, you’ll only be left with text instructions that you still need to find a way to implement it.
For AI to do the work that you are already doing, you need these 3 components (CSS):
Context: Give AI every minute detail about the task you want it to execute so it knows the Outcome, Workflow, and Bottleneck (OWB) you face
Skills: A repeatable SOP that you give AI to execute so that it will give the same output day in, day out (just like teaching a new intern at your job)
System: You build the necessary infrastructure to connect AI to your files and tools, so it can do all the work for you
Once you master building all 3 components, you go from basic AI user to advanced power user.
This is possible for anyone, even though you have zero coding experience (like me).
All you need is to describe everything in plain English, and AI will handle the rest for you.
Let me build an AI-native workflow for you
If you’re still skeptical on how easy it is for AI to do your work for you, let me show it to you.
Tell me one painful workflow that you absolutely hate doing in your work or daily life.
Is it the same, boring task that you have to do every day that drains you?
