What if the reason AI still misses the mark isn’t your prompts, but that you’ve taught it how you sound without ever teaching it how you decide?
Getting AI to mimic your words is one thing. Getting it to understand the judgment behind your leadership is another.
In this episode, Dawn breaks down the difference between an AI voice profile and a thinking profile and shares four questions that help you capture the decision rules AI needs to work more effectively alongside you. If you’re a founder using AI for business, delegation, or decision-making, this is where personalization gets a whole lot more useful.
Want a space to test, ask, and grow with AI alongside other founders doing the same thing? Join the free AI for Founders Community. Bring your answer to Dawn’s question: What’s the thing you never cut, even when it costs you? The community is designed as a low-stakes place for founders to experiment with AI, share what’s working, and build confidence using it in their businesses.
