Day 1 of the AI Advantage Summit starts in just 72 hours. Before we kick off, we want to know one thing: What is your biggest challenge with AI right now? Seriously, we want to hear it. Because the more we know about where people are stuck, the more we can make this Summit genuinely useful. The goal is not for this to be just another event that feels interesting in the moment. The goal is for it to create real change. To help you use AI to buy back time, work smarter, and build an advantage that keeps compounding month after month. So if there is something you want clarity on, need help with, or want us to address during the Summit, now is the time to share it. This is your chance to help shape the experience and make it a bigger win for you. We cannot wait to see you on Thursday. 🚀 Let us know if you’re coming by RSVPing right here!

Most people are still using AI like a tool. Ask a question. Get an answer. Move on. That is useful, but it is also limited. Because one of the biggest advantages of AI is not just that it can produce content fast. It is that it can help people think better, decide faster, and work through ideas without getting stuck in their own head. That is what an AI thought partner really is. Not just a machine that gives outputs. A partner that helps sharpen thinking. This matters because a lot of modern work slows down long before execution. People get stuck trying to clarify ideas, organize messy thoughts, challenge assumptions, pressure-test decisions, or figure out the next best move. The bottleneck is often not effort. It is thinking friction. And that friction costs time. That is where an AI thought partner becomes powerful. It can help turn vague ideas into clear direction. It can help break down a problem when everything feels too big. It can help generate options, compare angles, surface blind spots, and speed up decision-making. Not by replacing human judgment, but by accelerating the process of getting to better judgment. That is the difference. Most people think of AI as a writing assistant, research helper, or productivity tool. And yes, it can do all of that. But the deeper value is in using it as a thinking companion, something that helps refine ideas before they become plans, content, offers, strategies, or decisions. That is why this is urgent. Because the people getting the most from AI are not just asking it to do tasks. They are using it to improve the quality and speed of their thinking. They are bringing it rough ideas, half-formed plans, messy notes, questions they cannot quite articulate yet, and problems they need help untangling. They are using AI to create clarity faster. And clarity changes everything. It reduces time-to-decision. It shortens time-to-first-draft. It lowers rework. It helps people move before overthinking turns into delay.

How do people create working memory for AI (like ChatGPT, etc.) so it is not all web based, but learns and grows and builds a unique business brand?

Quick question for anyone building with AI right now—has anyone successfully set up a “proprietary AI brain” using off-the-shelf tools instead of a custom RAG build? I’m exploring options like Notion AI, CustomGPT, DocsBot, Guru, etc., (enterprise systems are too big for us) and trying to keep everything grounded in our own IP without drift. The ultimate goal is to have AI work with me as a strategic partner to build our revenue and client base, but it must stay within our unique IP, without drifting or hallucinating. Would really value any firsthand experience or recommendations.
