✍️How I made my AI Twin
Stop wearing all the hats
Happy Halloween week!
Last night, I did an AI Twin Workshop with Cathi Tarbox | Solo AI X. Four women nerding out over AI on a Friday night :D
What you get: a digital version of yourself in the form of a document, which you can then use across AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Bard, etc) so they create content in your voice, your style, using words you use, and with your audience in mind. I want ChatGPT to sound like me.
How it works: We had some homework to do before the two-hour class.
- Fill in a detailed doc with writing links, business info, target audience, common words and phrases to use and avoid, etc.
- Record a voice note of me talking about my biz so it can analyse my words and my voice.
I signed up late so only had an hour to do this, and the voice sample wasn’t detailed enough. I’ll do it again this week. CT said to do a 2/3-min ‘rant’ about your biz, values, goals, passions, challenges, etc, so it gets a sense of your personality and communication style.
She used my doc to feed ChatGPT ( AI Twin GPT), so I got a live demo of how it works and things to look out for as you go through it.
Some tips: Use Extensity to turn off browser extensions, as AI doesn’t seem to like them. It also has issues with Google Docs and can’t always read them, so try again or C+P your work.
We also had a bit of fun with it. Ask it to tell you jokes. ChatGPT can be lazy and refuse to work when overloaded!, so don’t take no for an answer. “It’s like a two-year-old toddler; you have to rein it in!”
Offer a $200 tip for a longer response or say you’ll fine it $10k if it doesn’t follow your commands — seems to work ;-)
I need to watch the replay, refine my doc and voice note, and then I’ll rerun it. Let’s see.
📆CT is doing a free ‘ Personalizing ChatGPT Workshop ‘ on Friday 1 Nov if you want to check it out.
Some problems I want to solve:
- Less time at my desk/on the laptop and phone — hands-free interaction. More travel, nature, in-person meetups, and networking.
- More time with my daughter and fam. J will be off to uni soon! My parents are getting older.
- Automating repetitive tasks and admin — email, socials, repurposing content.
- Pricing comparison: I need help pricing a new service with different tiers so asked it for market rates. Also, brainstorming new products & services.
- Substack growth. Data insights from my archive so I can tweak things.
- A sparring partner and brainstorming buddy! A biz/financial coach in my pocket.
- More solopreneur friends, especially locally. Pier 2 Peer networking in Hastings. I wfh mostly these days, and it’s lonely.
- Personal development. I don’t remember books I’ve read unless I write them down. It can pull takeaways from talks, books, and courses and save them digitally.
- Health stuff — I want a personalised AI health coach to help with my RA and advice for someone I love who has CLL.
I’ve been using ChatGPT as my main tool for a year or so now. I’ve upgraded so I can use voice chat (see if I can find a sexy male voice), build custom GPTs (btw, these are great lead magnets), and now we can do real-time collaborative editing in Canvas mode. You can see where this is going…
All this for just $20/mo. I’m blown away by what AI makes possible for us soloists-fun, creative, and empowering!
It’s good to see the rates increasing for training multilingual AI systems and LLMs. Earlier this year, I was offered $15-$20/hr for flexible work. This week, I was offered $80/hr from one platform-that’s more like it. Let’s see if it’s legit…
📍PS Next Members Meetup is on Thursday 31 Oct, 5–6 pm BST on Zoom. Come along if you want to hear more about my AI Twin and work opps.
