End of week, and you want to close out and set up the next one.
Act as my productivity coach. Here's my week: [what I did / didn't / what's pending]. Help me: (1) name what actually moved the needle; (2) what to drop or delegate; (3) my top 3 priorities for next week; (4) the one thing that, if done, makes the week a win. Be honest if I'm busy but not productive.

Word of the DayTop-p (Nucleus Sampling)
Top-p limits the model to the smallest set of words whose combined probability reaches p, controlling output diversity.

Try ThisHave AI pressure-test your work before your boss does
Paste your draft/plan and say: 'You are the toughest skeptic in the room. List the 5 weakest points and the exact questions a critic will ask. Then tell me how to fix each.'
- Paste the plan or draft.
- Ask for the 5 weakest points + the questions they'll trigger.
- Patch the holes before you present.
Don't Do ThisDon't ship the first draft
The first output is the model's average answer, not its best one. Shipping it is why AI writing is recognisable — it reads like the midpoint of everything ever written on the topic.
Instead: Say: "Rate this draft out of 10 against the brief, name the three weakest lines, then rewrite it." The second pass is usually the one worth sending.
