Here's what landed this week. **Monday — News in 60** Four real things that shifted: Google's NotebookLM added a research mode that browses 50 websites while you do something else, a study of 2,500 professionals found half feel AI is dulling their own thinking (the useful warning), Microsoft quietly added a Researcher feature inside Office, and an AI disproved an 80-year-old assumption — which is also a reminder that AI can be confidently wrong about things in *your* field. **Tuesday — Daily Rep** One decision rule: reach for AI when you want thinking done, reach for Google when you need something current or verifiable. Plus the one-word concept to know — hallucination (when AI produces a confident answer that isn't true) — and why a 30-second Google check on anything high-stakes is the whole habit. **Wednesday — Drill of the Week** Summarize Anything in 60 Seconds. One prompt, pasted after any wall of text, gives you: what it's about, the three most important points, and whether you need to do anything. A filter you can use every day, on anything. **Thursday — Workout preview** The opening move in the 30-minute research dossier build: pick a real topic from work — something you keep nodding along to without fully understanding — write it on a sticky note, and take it into AI. That first step alone changes the framing from "I should read up on this" to "I'm doing it now." **Friday — Daily Rep** The follow-up prompt that gets AI to argue against itself: *"What's the most important thing I'm probably not considering here?"* One line, after any AI answer. Immediately widens your picture of a topic before anyone else in the room has thought to ask. **Saturday — Steal This preview** Three prompts from the learning pack: the Fast Overview (landscape in two minutes), the Role Filter (filters any topic down to what's relevant for your specific job), and the Verification Checklist (finds the spots you should double-check before you share anything important).

Pro members got a 10-prompt pack today for learning anything fast, from "I've never heard of this" to "I can brief my team on it." Here are three you can use right now. Works in ChatGPT (chat.openai.com), Claude (claude.ai), or Gemini (gemini.google.com). Fill in the brackets with your real topic. **Prompt 1 — The Fast Overview** *Use this before you read anything else. Gets you the full landscape in under two minutes.* ``` Give me a fast overview of [topic]. Assume I know nothing about it. Cover: what it is, why it matters right now, and the 3–5 most important things someone needs to understand about it. Use plain English. ``` **Prompt 2 — The Role Filter** *Turns generic information into advice that's actually relevant to your job.* ``` I'm a [your role — e.g., HR manager / small-business owner / nurse / project manager]. What do I specifically need to know about [topic]? What parts are most relevant to my work, and what can I skip? ``` **Prompt 3 — The Verification Checklist** *AI can be wrong, especially on recent facts and specific numbers. Use this to find the spots you should double-check before sharing anything important.* ``` Based on everything we've discussed about [topic], where am I most likely to be misled or given outdated information? What specific claims should I verify with a primary source — and where would I go to check them? ``` Run Prompt 1 right now on a topic from your work week. See what comes back. Pro members got all 10 today, plus the Money Move on turning research skills into career visibility — specifically, how being the person who can brief the room puts you in a different category at work.
