Then: set your privacy toggles, turn on memory, and re-run last week's task on the real setup.

Ten minutes of setup is the line between a real test and a rigged one. Almost everyone who bounced off AI bounced off a rigged one.

Week one of actually trying AI is over. So how did it go?

If it disappointed you, it was probably the setup. Not you, and not the tool.

New First Mile in The Alpenglow, on making week two a fair test. 🧵

Pick one tool and go deep. Let your goal tip which:

building automations / tool use -> Claude or ChatGPT, not Gemini
need real images -> ChatGPT or Gemini, not Claude
cited research -> Perplexity
live in Google all day -> Gemini is already in your inbox

You weren't wrong to bounce off. The first mile is the same first mile whether you bounced last year or never started.

Tuesday morning. First in a new series called The First Mile.

If you tried AI in 2023, got a confident wrong answer, and quietly stopped using it, you weren't lazy. You were paying attention.

🧵

[phil howard @technoPHIL21]

The first move I'd hand a friend.

One task. One tool. Seven days.

Pick something specific you do every week. Use one AI tool on it daily for a week. After seven days, you'll have your own evidence.

Not industry evidence. Not headline evidence. Yours.

Been quiet here for awhile but I'm back. The longer pieces don't fit on X or LinkedIn.

Started a long-form home: The Alpenglow. Notes from inside the work. No hype, no noise, all signal.
