Prompts that know you

A friend tells me about a task that eats up hours of his week. Perfect timing: I have a prompt I use for exactly that. A rock-solid prompt, polished, with results that blow me away every time. I send it over, pretty pleased with myself.

A few days later, his verdict: "Meh. The results were average."

Impossible. I ask him to show me.

And then I get it: he'd used my prompt as is. My context, my way of writing, my audience, my examples: he'd kept all of it. Of course he didn't like the result. That prompt was calibrated for me.

That's what struck me, and it's the part that will be useful to you: a result is never good in absolute terms. It's good for someone. Your tone, your job, your clients, your tastes. The best prompt in the world gives you generic output if it doesn't know you.

And it's funny, because if there's one thing you ask me for in your replies, week after week, it's exactly that: "Salim, send us more in-depth prompts." You're right. But I knew about this limit, and that's precisely why I wasn't sending more: an in-depth prompt that doesn't know you gets you my friend's result.

So an idea I'd been sitting on for months, with you in mind, suddenly became obvious. I had no choice:

DiraIA: prompts that know you

Here's what you get every week:

1. A use case. A specific problem to solve with AI. For example: writing LinkedIn posts that share a personal experience, following up with a client without putting them off, preparing a meeting summary.

2. The prompt that solves it. A highly developed prompt, sometimes a very long one: the kind of prompt that takes hours to build and test. Exactly what you've been asking me for. But remember my friend: as is, it would only give you generic output.

3. And this is where DiraIA comes in. On the platform, an AI asks you two or three questions, which you answer in a few clicks: your field, how you write, an example you like. Those answers fill in the prompt automatically. It becomes yours, and it keeps all its power, for you.

After that, there's just one box left to fill in, the one that changes every time you use it: "This week, I want to write a post about ___". You enter your topic, hit Copy, and the full prompt, personalized for you and for your topic, is ready. Then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. (In the image: in green, what's already filled in for you; in red, your topic.)

Why do I think this is phenomenal? Because it lets me give you truly complex prompts knowing they'll stay personalized for every one of you. No document to read, no prompt to adapt by hand: it all takes a few clicks. And that prompt is yours forever: every time you want to write a LinkedIn post, it'll be there, already calibrated.

And the best part is what it becomes over time

Every week, a new prompt for a new use case. And every time the AI asks you a question, it remembers what matters: that information is used to adapt all your prompts, past and future. Week after week, you build a library of highly advanced prompts that all know you, with the simplest possible interface to copy and use them.

P.S. My friend from the beginning? I had him calibrate the prompt to his own context. His message the next day: "OK, now I get the hype." That's exactly what DiraIA is.
