Your AI Has Never Seen Your Best Work.
Why Not Show It?

Imagine having your own personal assistant with an IQ score that classifies as a genius.

Your assistant can read thousands of pages in seconds. They can analyze years' worth of data in minutes. They can scrape the web, point to current trends within your industry, and generate questions your company should be considering, all before you finish reading your first email.

You already have this assistant. It's just waiting for you to give it more work.

Your assistant is capable of excellent work. They just don't know what excellent looks like yet. You have the power to hold your assistant to a high standard.

AI is required to produce an answer for every prompt. It's not allowed to say, “Sorry, can you repeat that?” So when the response feels generic, it usually needs an example to reference.

When you say, “this is what excellent at my job looks like,” your personal assistant will remember. They will then use that example and always have it as a reference moving forward.

Think of it as onboarding your personal assistant. What is their job description and what are the company's goals? What in-house resources would you give them to catch them up to speed? What are your current priorities, and how would you like your assistant to adapt to your particular work style?

You don't have to define all of this in one day. It's a gradual process. The more your assistant learns about your world, the more valuable they will become.

Question: what would an indispensable AI tool look like for you? Now train it to get there.

Here's a secret: the gap between beginner and indispensable is actually much closer than people realize.

You can start today by sharing a few concrete examples so AI can start learning what excellent looks like. It can be past work you're proud of, a coworker's proposal that got the yes, or even a competitor's website that impressed you. You don't have to spend hours writing a novel in a chatbot to communicate your high standard.

Those super long, fancy prompts someone shared with you were most likely created to stop the scroll on social media. The real move is simple: show AI what great looks like, and it will strive to match it every time.

Showing AI concrete examples of excellent work is the simplest and most underused form of context building in 2026.

Once your context starts building with concrete examples, you'll notice a major shift in the results you're getting. The responses won't feel like they came from a search engine. They'll start to feel like they came from a personal assistant who was with you every step of the way.

The people who figure this out don't become AI consultants. They're not looking to go viral. They just become elite within their specific jobs.

You already have a personal assistant who is a certified genius. Now think of how your assistant can help you become elite.

Your domain expertise is the one missing ingredient AI needs. What you and AI are capable of together is something worth getting excited about. Keep building that context and your own standards will get even higher.
