Jan 14, 2026

 

Without setup: 

AI forgets context, gives generic answers, or repeats itself.

With setup:
AI remembers your context, follows your rules, and delivers high-quality insights from the first prompt.


 

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your AI Project

Step 1: Create a New Project

  • Open your AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, etc.)

  • Start a new project

  • Name it clearly based on your task (e.g., “Client Reporting Templates” or “Portfolio Analysis Workflow”)

Step 2: Define AI Instructions

  • Role: Who AI should act as (e.g., analyst, project manager, advisor)

  • Style: How responses should be structured (formal, concise, data-driven)

  • Audience: Who will use the output (team, clients, stakeholders)

  • Words to Avoid: Terms or phrases that don’t fit your brand or tone

Step 3: Provide Context

  • Upload 3–5 examples of your best work

  • Include style guides, templates, or company standards

Step 4: Activate Thinking Mode

  • Enable “Extended Thinking” or reasoning features if available

  • Allow AI to process complex requests fully for higher-quality outputs

Step 5: Enable Web Search (Optional)

  • Turn on real-time search to ensure outputs are accurate and current

  • Especially useful for market updates or regulatory references


The Result:

  • AI remembers your context

  • Follows your instructions

  • Produces higher quality, professional outputs from the first prompt

    REMEMBER ALWAYS CHECK THE OUTPUT
