How to make AI outputs personalized

Do your AI outputs "reflect" your unique DNA in it?

Hey there,

Let's cut to the chase. AI's great, but it's got a problem. A big one.

You ask it to write an email, draft a LinkedIn post, or whip up some marketing copy. What do you get? The same bland, cookie-cutter response that thousands of others are getting.

John from New York and Maria from São Paulo type in the same prompt? They get nearly identical answers. Boring. Useless. Frustrating.

Unfortunately, none of the “1000 AI Prompts that would 10x your <insert BS>” help with that.

How to build a second brain

There’s only solution to that and it’s a bit painful. But you don’t have to do it all at once. It’s building a second brain (a basic, laser-focused version of it).

Here's what we're gonna do:

  1. Capture Your Unique Point of View 
    We're talking about the stuff that makes you, well, YOU. Your experiences. Your stories. Your background. The quirks that make your professional life unique.

  2. Answer Key Questions 
    I've got a list. It's thorough. It'll make you think. But when you're done, you'll have a goldmine of information that defines your professional persona.

  3. Feed This to AI 
    This becomes the context for all your AI interactions.

  4. Watch the Magic Happen 
    Now when you ask AI to do something, it's not just spitting out generic answers. It's channeling you.

Let's break this down further.

The Questions List

I've divided this into five sections. Each one digs into a different aspect of your professional self.

Section 1: Core Principles and Values

  • Example: What principles guide your work decisions?
    (e.g., "I always prioritize simplicity in design" or "I believe in the power of automation to improve efficiency.")

Section 2: Influences and Inspirations

  • Example: Which companies or individuals do you admire for their approach to business, and why?
    (e.g., "I admire Apple's attention to detail and simplicity in product design.")

Section 3: Personal Stories and Experiences

  • Example: What is your philosophy on time management and productivity?
    (e.g., "I follow the 80/20 rule and focus on the most impactful tasks.")

Section 4: Professional Outlook and Vision

  • Example: What's a common practice in your industry that you think needs to be reimagined or improved? 
    (e.g., "The traditional 9-5 work schedule could benefit from more flexibility and results-oriented focus.")

Section 5: Problem-Solving and Innovation

  • Example: How do you approach leadership or team collaboration in a professional setting?
    (e.g., "I believe in empowering my team and giving them autonomy to innovate.")

📧 Drop me an email if you want my full list (it’s about 15 questions for now). Or just ask AI to come up with your own questions.

How to use the second brain after it’s done

When you answer these, you're not just filling out a form. You're creating a starting point to continuously capture your unique opinions.

🆘 Typing answers to those questions to build you second brain might be “inconvenient”. You can do it faster by either of the below:

1. Use ChatGPT’s Desktop App (it has voice to text feature).

2. Use AudioAI Chrome Extension. Disclaimer: We built it, and it’s free to use.

3. Record a voice memo on your phone or laptop, feed it into Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to transcribe.

Think about it. If we were discussing politics, you'd have a stance on Trump vs. Biden, right? But more importantly, you'd have reasons for that stance. Reasons that might differ from the next person's. That's your unique opinion right there.

We're doing the same thing, but for your professional life.

The Game Plan:

  1. Create Your Second Brain (Version 1.0)
    Answer those questions. Be honest. Be thorough. This is for you.

  2. AI Input
    Whenever you're using AI for a professional task, feed it this document first.

  3. Task Time
    Now ask AI to do whatever you need - write that email, draft that post, create that marketing copy.

  4. Evolve
    💡 Over time, create mini second brains for specific domains. Imagine having a "Your Name's Marketing Brain" that only deals with your marketing opinions and principles.

⏭️ For those of you who are using LiGo, this is part of the Phase 2 of LiGo’s Roadmap. Personalization! Generating ideas, and posts that allow you to broadcast your unique opinions about different topics at scale. Because no one likes generic AI-written content, regardless of how sexy it might look. Authenticity has to be at the core of any good AI product.

The Result?

You're not getting generic AI outputs anymore. You're getting responses that sound like YOU wrote them. It's like having a digital clone that knows your thoughts and can articulate them in your voice.

Is this easy? No. It takes work. But if you're serious about standing out, about making AI truly work for you instead of everyone else, this is how you do it.

Start small if you need to. Focus on one area of your professional life. Build from there. You might be surprised at how much you discover about yourself in the process.

Give it a shot. I promise you, the results are worth it.

Till next time,

Junaid
