Context Packs
Context packs are structured documents that guide AI models to produce more relevant, aligned, and high-quality responses. You can have one or many: task specific, persona specific, or both. Some people build a whole library of context documents.
This is a task you can do on your own or as a team and will simplify your prompt writing straight away. Save your context, don't do things the hard way.
Create your Context PackAssess Your Day
During the session we did a quick version of this exercise. The full booklet gives you the space to properly map out your day, group your tasks into buckets, reflect on what gives you energy vs what drains it, and figure out where AI can make the biggest difference.
