If You Use It.","description":"The most powerful skill you can learn in 2026 isn't Photoshop or marketing \u2014 it's typing what you want into a chatbot. Here's how to actually make AI work for your art business. Most artists get garbage results from AI because they skip one critical step: context. In this episode, I break down exactly how to create context files that turn generic AI into your personal assistant \u2014 plus a prompt that lets AI interview you to build the file automatically. In this episode: Why AI gives you garbage answers (it's blind, not dumb) The 15 context files every artist should consider building The meta move: using AI to create your context files Where to save them in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini The habit that changes everything The "Interview Me" Prompt \u2014 copy and paste this into any AI: I want to create a context document about my art business that I can use with AI tools. Interview me by asking one question at a time. Cover these areas: Who I am as an artist (background, medium, style). Who my customers are (demographics, where they find me, budget). What I sell (products, price points, bestsellers). How I talk and write (voice, tone, words I use). My business goals for this year. After the interview, compile everything into a clean document I can save and reuse. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer.
