Employee of the Month

4 September 2026

Most people who tell us AI is overhyped are describing a search engine.

They opened the free version, typed a question, got a mediocre answer, closed the tab. Verdict delivered. Case closed!
​

They used software. They never hired anyone.

We got asked on the AI Fast Track Update whether you need the newest, most expensive AI model to do anything serious. Someone had used one on a free trial, loved it, and felt locked out when the trial ended.

You don't need it. And it can be the most expensive mistake in this whole space, because it feels like progress.

If you aren't already using the cheaper version daily, the expensive one changes nothing. It's a better member of staff for a job you haven't given anyone yet.

Here's what costs you $0 but makes the shift that actually matters.

You're paying for this monthly. So treat it like the person you're paying - your employee.

  1. Give it context. Tell it what you're trying to do and what you're not.
  2. Tell it when it's wrong. Ask it to challenge you rather than agree with you.
  3. Tell it what challenges you currently have and the barriers you think are in the way.
  4. Set yours up as top level advisors. Mine is set up to call me out on my blindspots and answer like 4 of my mentors.

Those single instructions can be worth more than any model upgrade.

You would never hire someone, give them one sentence of instruction, then conclude from the result that hiring doesn't work.

In the AI Fast Track you'll see that your AI employee wins 'Employee of the Month', every month. And it costs as little as $20.

Right now you get to figure this out before everyone else. But they are getting wise to it in more numbers, every month.

You can start today by asking your AI those questions. Or you can shortcut your way to having your own employee with the AI assistant we already built for you by joining the waitlist for the 90 Day Edit.
