One prompt to control them all!

During the last AI Advantage event, Dean provided us with 4 words that truly stood out to me and "prompted" me to begin a new journey. Yes, the pun was intentional!

The prompt went like this:

This was in Claude Opus 4.7, but will work with any LLM

"Over the next several weeks, you and I will get to know each other on the following levers. You are open to ask me questions, push back, and get into my mind. Activate - Get to know me deeply and what is important to me Accelerate - Get to know how I think and work Augment - You will create along side of me Automate - I want you to be my number 1 assistant."

Now this looks simple enough, but what took place then was a great conversation with myself and the LLM. Over the course of a couple of weeks, I had my number 1 assistant who is my second brain, my confident, my devil's advocate, and my Spock to my Captain Kirk, it even throws in a sly comment from Bones once in a while for you Star Trek fans out there.

Regardless of any personas you decide to make use of, I highly recommend you begin training your preferred LLM on how you think, how you reason, what is important to you and your goals. It is amazing how much better and more clearly I am able to think through problems and to have my LLM Business Partner ensure that I am thinking clearly and always brings me back to my center and goals.

One more thing, now that we have completed a few projects together, I asked my business partner LLM how we can move this into an agent that can make use of any LLM at any time, and I now have a set of resources I can load into ANY LLM and make use of each LLM based on what they do best. I can even get my multiple LLM's to review each other's work and let me know where we all agree and where we disagree which in and of itself has been AMAZING.

Happy Prompting, or I guess the new word is Contexting!
