Episode notes
Let AI Surface Your Historical Context For Email
- Use AI to surface personal historical context when handling communications.
- Train a system on decades of your emails so it can suggest relevant past messages, programs, or resources before you reply.
Always Invite The Originator To Review Meetings
- Insist that originators attend review meetings to avoid secondhand guesses.
- Wolfram requires the person who created a document or design to be present, otherwise decisions get made on uncertain assumptions.
Tag Unreviewed Text So It Never Goes Live
- Mark unreviewed placeholder text so it never ships by accident.
- At Wolfram they enclose unreviewed copy in triple brackets until someone explicitly reviews and removes them.
