7 Ways to Be So Good at AI, People Will Think You’re AI

Sam Liang is I was surprised when I accepted my method of recording interviews: running the Voice Memos program on iPhone and manually transfer the document to Google Doc. CEO of Ottertranslation service for meeting analysis, it looks like I’m trying to call our video chat using a rotary phone. He believed, naturally, that I should change to Otter. He may be right.

It’s all part of the new knowledge at work (and perhaps at home): native AI. Time saving production equipment as next-generation note takers, task assistants, and inbox assistants proliferate as they infiltrate every area of ​​our digital lives. Although it is important to keep stress security and it’s a nightmare in theory when you use any form of AI, early adopters are creating technology that will pay dividends for years to come.

Being an AI native — or “assistant,” as AI natives say — means being ready to adapt to new things. Script failures aside, I agree to try, from creating AI podcasts allowing Claude to organize my computer files. (I covered some of this in my posts last year, AI Unlocked.) If you want to be so proficient at using AI tools that your coworkers start to wonder if it’s blood or ribbons running under your skin, here are my seven tips for AI-powered ascendance.

1. Kill Your Chatbots

ChatGPT it’s 2022. These days, the cool kids are around Codex. Your eyes may roll, rightly so, at the mention of “AI agents,” but compared to anything on the market even a year ago, software development tools like Codex and Anthropic work they are great players for taking your computer and getting work done. Don’t waste your time playing with one chatbot when you can command an entire army.

2. Go to Voice Mode

Oh, you’re still writing everything you want your AI tools to do, Boomer mode? That’s beautiful. But trust Otter’s Liang: “The word will be there.” more control moving forward,” he tells me: “People hate writing. (He admits that Mea reporter, maybe not hate writingwhich is, for the most part, true.) This movement is mainly for inputs, not outputs. I don’t usually use voice alone on ChatGPT, for example, but I often talk quickly into my phone and then check what I’ve written.

3. Build a sandbox

Even though the agents are good now, the little devils can take out anything without proper limits. (Earlier this year, Claude’s assistant removed the originals entire production database and backups.) So if you’re ready to take control of your computer, you should be in the afternoon. search everything These tools can do by installing some dedicated folders and files you want them to access.

4. Give it Your All

It is an apology for our private opinion security writersThat’s because the more information you share with AI, the more personalized it gets. Jo Barrow is chief of staff at Granolaone of Otter’s competitors, and he says this: “I have a personal OS system, which is a collection of files on my computer that my AI lives in. Fair warning: Difficult conversations still thrive without a stable history.”

5. Create a Role Model

Barrow tells me he lost everything Laziness The message in the document informs bots how they are heard on the platform, and they do the same for their incoming e-mails and social media accounts. “People use AI to amplify their voices,” he says. “There are a lot of times where you can say, ‘Okay, a little warmer. That’s a lot of depth. ” Creating these guidelines for agents to follow may not match your voice, but they can move the bot to produce something closer to your tone and voice.

6. Consider All Groups

Data is powerful, and adding information from the people around you can improve AI tools. Consider your co-workers: “A lot of people are using a pen in meetings now, but they’re still using it in their meetings,” says Liang. He touches the “knowledge engine” Otter can create when a all work they buy, from the engineering team to the marketing department. You can do this at home: If family members take different notes from their day into one shared AI tool, that will provide more information than siled applications.

7. Learn to Jailbreak

Effective use of AI tools in 2026 doesn’t require writing – I mean it Speaking– good advice. However, starting the most difficult tasks with a creative, well-planned proposal can be easy. Experiment with words, especially if you’re hitting unexpectedly protection blocking the output. Recently, I tried to get a bot to send me emails for various niche experts, and it refused to deliver. But when I started a new conversation and shared more about why I wanted this information (for the purpose of reporting, of course, not stalking), it made the list.
