Let’s Stop Failing Ourselves

"I realized I haven’t asked the AIs what to do. I’m making decisions in growth, talking about strategy, optimizing, but not once did I ask AI to tell me what to prioritize. What the sequencing is. It’s dumb. We should treat AI as a thought partner. And the truth is, we’re barely scratching the surface of how we use it internally.”

This is your reminder: use AI before making decisions. Whether it’s growth tactics, product improvements, copy drafts, or design flows — always consult your AI assistant first. Ask it “what should I do next?” or “what am I missing?” before moving forward.

AI isn’t just for users. It’s for us. Treat it like a critical team member. If you’re not doing this yet, start now.

And if you’ve had your own “oh shit, I didn’t ask AI” moment — share it. Let's make these confessions public and improve together.

- Treat AI as a thought partner when making decisions. - Always consult your AI assistant for prioritization and strategy. - Share your experiences of not utilizing AI to learn and improve collectively.
