So if you wanted it to, I don't know, find you the best basketball tickets to a game or something, you would say, I need you to find me two seats in the 30th row of the back section.

And this, you would give it really strict guidelines.

Order of operations.

And so you're kind of functioning as like very spreadsheet-y senior analyst.

What we saw in the last, again, year-ish is this movement into more of that COO, CEO type prompting where you're really giving it an overall goal that you want to get done.

and the context of what's going on, you might want to give it criteria.

So like success criteria.

How do I know that I have found the right basketball tickets for you?

How will I know that I have solved your business question that you have?

You might give it resources.

You might say, I have three people, each with 20% bandwidth.

I have an extra $2,000 that I can allocate to this.

It has to get done in the next three months.

So you might kind of give it a little bit of a box to work in.

And then you might at the end say, and here's some blockers that I have or some open questions.

But you're way more prompting, and I'm using that in very loose air quotes, you're prompting it like it's a teammate.

Like right now, this year, it's AI as a teammate.

And that means you're really talking to it and saying, if I were talking to a coworker with amnesia and they just woke up today, what do they need to know about me?

Because thankfully, if you're asking a business question, the answer for M agreed should and is different from if I'm asking the exact same question.

If people don't give context, I almost want to lean over and be like, do you not think you're special?
