Episode notes
Build And Iterate Custom AI Agents
- Create custom agents (custom GPTs) once you know your desired output, then refine their 'code' (instructions) iteratively.
- Jack advises copying the chat, editing the agent instructions, asking AI to validate changes, and saving as a reusable custom GPT.
Save Baseline Chats And Attach Them To Future Prompts
- Preserve a baseline conversation and ask AI to write a long, specific prompt you can attach to future chats for consistent results.
- Jack recommends saving the original chat as a PDF and attaching it to new sessions so AI understands your workflow expectations.
Podcast Show Prep Cut From Two Hours To Half Hour
- Jack tested the baseline prompt on his podcast show prep and cut prep time from ~2 hours to ~25–30 minutes while improving quality.
- He had AI produce a long prompt telling it to only acknowledge notes and wait for instructions, which improved workflow discipline.
