Episode notes
Start With Context Projects And Memory
- Do treat context, projects, and memory as your first priorities when starting with AI.
- Grant and Corey recommend organizing work into project folders, uploading sources, and giving the model specific instructions so chats reuse your context and reduce repeated prompting.
Upload Files And Connect Drives For Persistent Context
- Do use project folders and upload relevant files or connect drives to give persistent context.
- Grant shows adding a sales handbook or linking Google Drive/Slack so every chat in that project can reference those sources automatically.
AI Works Best Through Iteration
- Insight: AI use is iterative, not one-shot, so plan to refine outputs through back-and-forth.
- Corey emphasizes treating the model like a collaborator: get a first pass, then iterate with clarifying prompts to improve results.
