Stop teaching AI like it’s a rookie

Most people try to “teach” AI by giving it step-by-step instructions.

But that’s not how we work. And it’s not how we expect anyone in the field to work either.

On a real job, the way you lay out your folders, jot down notes, or name your files, that is the training. You don’t explain the whole process every time. You just keep moving, and the smart ones figure it out.

That’s how AI learns too.
Give it three solid punch lists. It’ll write the fourth.
Show it a few job notes. It can prep the customer update.

It doesn’t need a lecture. It needs your trail.

Here’s what’s coming this week:
Wednesday: How we turned job notes into a clean follow-up plan
Friday: A simple AI tool that takes your job folder and gives you a usable summary

AI doesn’t need your explanation. It needs your example.

P.S. If you tried the tool Friday, I’d love to hear how it worked for you. Or if there’s something you’ve been trying to train it on and keep hitting a wall, reply and let me know.
