Running a business as a solo owner means every task, every deadline, every piece of content falls on your shoulders.

Some weeks, the to-do list feels like a second job. And when you finally find a tool that can shave off 30 minutes here and there, it adds up.

That’s where I was a few months ago, deep in the writing process for my book, trying to keep up with client work, content, admin, all of it. (We wear many hats.)

I decided to give ChatGPT a shot to help edit some of the writing. I uploaded my rough draft with stories and insights, but the revision didn’t sound like me. The stories were mine. The insights were mine. But the voice? Filtered. Generic.

That’s when I realized, if AI is going to help us, it needs to know me. It needs more than a great prompt. It needs our decision-making process, our values, our tone, even our quirks.
