Should the AI interview you before you prompt it?

I no longer look for the perfect prompt. I ask the agent what it still needs from me. Based on what it already knows about me and my goals, it finds the gap faster than I would. I picked up the base idea from someone else: dump everything about yourself, your career and your goals into the agent, a plain brain dump. If my Second Brain still holds little, I would rather get interviewed, so the questions guide the dump. The agent then already knows the direction before I start typing. In the Deep Dive I show this live. I ask my agent what information it still needs from me so that, based on what it already knows about me and my goals, it can help me faster. It asks back for a real order of priority between my projects, and then for what can be delegated. I answer briefly, and everything goes straight into the Second Brain.

What I ask my agent

In the Deep Dive I show this live. I ask my agent what information it still needs from me so that, based on what it already knows about me and my goals, it can help me faster. It asks back for a real order of priority between my projects, and then for what can be delegated. I answer briefly, and everything goes straight into the Second Brain.

What happens to the answers

Only then do I ask the second question: what task can you take off my plate right now that brings me closer to this goal. The agent answers with something concrete. The suggestions come from what it knows about me and my goals by then.

Shown live

  • The first question: what do you still need from me so you can help me faster, based on what you already know.
  • The agent asks live for a real order of priority between the projects, then for what can be delegated.
  • The answers go straight into the Second Brain before the next question follows.
  • The second question after that: what task can you take on for me right now.
