Out of more than 450,000 global members, it is a privilege to have been selected to speak about the AI OS I built—one that now runs several aspects of my own consulting agency—at the AIS Live Virtual Event this weekend (detail and link below). Join The Event Online Oct 17, 8:00AM - Oct 18, 8:00PM CDT Just 18 months ago, I began pursuing AI full time with my new agency, AI & Data Strategies. Armed with sheer curiosity and determination, I started building my AI skills and dove in headfirst to learn how to build advanced AI and automation solutions through AI Automation Society on Skool. Fast-forward to today: I have been able to combine more than 30 years of enterprise experience with AI technology. Through AI & Data Strategies, we are helping dozens of medium and large companies transform their businesses with AI. At the event, I will share how an AI OS has changed the way I operate my business, create capacity, and deliver for clients—and what that journey has looked like from learning the basics to applying AI in the real world. If you are interested in learning about AI to start a small agency or advance at work, this event can open up a new future for you.

“Analyze this budget” sounds straightforward. But does AI know what you need to learn—or what your boss will want to see? In this exercise, you’ll give the same spreadsheet to the same LLM tool twice (pick your favorite ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). First, we will make a simple request. Then, we'll give it a clear assignment with specific calculations, evidence, and a report format. 👇 Try both rounds, then judge the results for yourself. Round 1: Simple Prompt Request Open a new chat, upload the sample spreadsheet, and enter this prompt: "Analyze this budget." 🔎 Review the response. Round 2: Clear, Concise Prompt Assignment Open another new chat in the same AI tool. Upload the spreadsheet again, then copy and paste this entire prompt: "Act as a nonprofit budget analyst. Review every tab in the attached workbook for January–June 2026. Create a professional, downloadable Word report I can share with my boss, no more than two pages. Include: 1. An executive summary of the overall financial position 2. The largest revenue shortfalls and expense variances, in dollars and percentages 3. Monthly trends that the six-month totals might hide 4. A comparison of program spending, participation visits, and cost per visit 5. Three recommended next steps, with questions we should investigate before making decisions Support each key finding with figures and the relevant worksheet and line item. Don’t double-count summary tables and underlying detail. Explain how you calculate variances. Use only the workbook, distinguish facts from possible explanations, and flag missing information. Visits are not unique students, and cost per visit does not establish program quality." 🔎 Now compare the two results. Which found more useful information? 🧮 Which made its figures and conclusions easier to verify? 📄 Which produced something you could share with your boss, board, or finance team? Think of it like assigning work to a coworker. “Analyze this budget” leaves a lot for them to figure out. A clear assignment explains what matters, how to support the findings, and what the finished work should look like.

I have completed the basic learning on Claude Code from AIS+. Now, I want to learn more and gain more expertise on Claude Code. Asking for some guidelines or real life experience from the experts on how I can increase my knowlege, expertise on Claude Code? This may be any sort of expertise. I have created AIOS for me. I also want to know how I can improve and make my AIOS more useful for myself. Any suggestion, or anything that would help me to improve.

The work meeting is over. Now you need to explain what happened, brief leadership, and make sure the work gets done. Those are three different needs—and you can use the same transcript for all three. For this exercise, use the attached fictional bakery meeting transcript. Five employees discuss how to improve morning pickup orders. 👇 Open a new chat, upload the transcript, and try these prompts one at a time in the same chat. 1️⃣ Meeting Summary — What happened? Prompt 1: Create a meeting summary from this transcript for the attendees. Include their names and titles, the main problems discussed, agreed process improvements, decisions, and unresolved questions. Separate approved decisions from suggestions and proposals. Include timestamps for key decisions. Use only the transcript and flag uncertainty instead of guessing. 2️⃣ Executive Summary — What does leadership need to know? Prompt 2: Using the same transcript, write an executive summary of no more than 200 words for the bakery owner. Focus on the business problem, the agreed pilot, its scope and timing, proposed success measures, and risks or decisions still requiring attention. Distinguish proposed targets from confirmed commitments. Use only the transcript. Don’t claim that improvements have already occurred. 3️⃣ Task List — Who does what, by when? Prompt 3: Extract the agreed tasks from the transcript into a table with these columns: Task, Owner, Due Date or Timing, Dependencies or Approvals, and Source Timestamp. Include supporting contributors where stated. Convert relative dates using the meeting date of October 12, 2026. If an owner or deadline isn’t stated, write “Not specified.” List ongoing pilot responsibilities separately from one-time tasks. Don’t turn unapproved suggestions into assigned work. Now review the results: 📋 Does the meeting summary capture the discussion and decisions? 🎯 Does the executive summary give leadership the essentials? ✅ Does the task list accurately identify owners, deadlines, and approvals?
