Calling The Ball - The Week Ahead

What I'm Working On This Week

Hi Team,

I thought I would put a little positive pressure on myself to tell you what I’m working on this week.

In some ways, I am in a position very similar to many Challengers over the years.

My work here is something I do out of hours.

I work full time as head of customer success at Blackbelt, where I coach and work with coaches making a minimum of $10,000 a month. Working with the team is great fun, and it gets pretty busy.

So this is very much a passion project.

I’m not sure (certainly TBH) it would be possible without my ADHD treatment, AI and having some amazing collaborators.

I thought it would be useful if I announce what I’m working on and thinking about.

1. A little public deadline action for someone with ADHD is a good idea

2. More importantly, I see all of you as my collaborators. We can develop our unique theories on Prompt Engineering and use AI to help all our respective markets.

The next step in the journey is Testing the Market. I’m going to approach this differently from the Ikigai Super prompt.

It’s been exciting to rethink Market Research with AI Tools like ChatGPT.

I’ve identified ten different aspects of Market Research. I will create Super-Prompt chunks rather than try to do one massive super-prompt.

These chunks may or may not become part of a mega-prompt or two.

The Starting Line For Market Research Using AI

We need to create a good character for the AI to play, representing the market the player is testing.

Side Note: I’m referring to challengers as ”players” in this new era. This requires further explanation, but a clue would be the work of James Carse and his book “Finite and Infinite Games.”

Anyway, back to testing the market. ChatGPT and its merry band of plug-ins have a lot to offer here.

However, for anything to work, we need to be able to describe the market in the form of a character we can inject into the system prompt section.¹

We have to assume the player will not know much about their market and is unable to describe their market in a way that would make it super useful for ChatGPT.

To solve this, we will create a Super Prompt to generate a character optimised for our player on the niche they decided to test from the Ikigai Super Prompt.

That is this week's challenge (pardon the pun) for me.

Collaboration in the AI era

I am seriously considering using Github for storing and having people be able to contribute to the prompt and, of course, “fork” for your use.

It sounds like I know what I’m talking about…

I do not.

I’d love to hear from you if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Remember, the solution must be scalable and cannot be a "free for all" like a Google Doc.

I get the feeling that using software development techniques like version control and being able to collaborate on prompt development is a cool idea.

First Week Of Substack

I'm slowly getting to grips with Substack (and I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the toolset). I have not figured out if you can DM me, but you can reach me by good old-fashioned email at ed@ai30dc.com

If you are one of the legends who have subscribed and would like me to guest on your podcast or channel. Please reach out.

If you want a bit of a challenge. How would you go about using AI to test a market?

Let’s Roll,

Ed

P.S. Legends, I think I can retire again. I’ve figured out how to put my face on any picture in MidJourney. The baseball player above is an example. I’ll leave you with a terrifying failure below.

P.P.S. I’m sorry in advance. You know I cannot help myself with this extraordinary power…
