Stage two, session one

The mental model

You are not learning a tool, you are taking on an agent. Here is what one is made of, and how it learns.

2.02

More than a second brain

It is more than a second brain, because it does not just remember, it acts.

A second brain holds what you put in it and hands it back when you ask, and you are still the one who does the job.

An agent is given the job and goes and does it, and the four parts above are what let it.

The difference you feel first is who does the carrying.

A chat

you
Open the document and copy it
you
Paste it into the chat and explain the job
it
Write the answer
you
Copy the answer out
you
Put it where it belongs, and fix the formatting
you
Review it before it goes out

Six moves, five of them yours.

An agent

you
Give it the job
it
Read your folder, your calendar, your inbox
it
Do the work
it
Put the result where it belongs and tell you
you
Review it before it goes out

Five moves, two of them yours.

Out of a chat you fetch the document, paste it in, take the answer out and put it where it belongs, and next time you brief it again from the start.

In your ecosystem it opens the document itself, does the job, puts the answer where it belongs, and next time it already knows.

The next four parts take the four things one at a time, in the order the course builds them.
