How AI Helps You Rewrite Your Story While You’re Still Living ItWhy This Matters
Find out why 100K+ engineers read The Code twice a week
Staying behind on tech trends can be a career killer.
But let’s face it, no one has hours to spare every week trying to stay updated.
That’s why over 100,000 engineers at companies like Google, Meta, and Apple read The Code twice a week.
Here’s why it works:
No fluff, just signal – Learn the most important tech news delivered in just two short emails.
Supercharge your skills – Get access to top research papers and resources that give you an edge in the industry.
See the future first – Discover what’s next before it hits the mainstream, so you can lead, not follow.
Every turning point in your life or business begins with a story shift — a new way of explaining who you are and where you’re going next.
Most people never stop long enough to rewrite that story. They just stay inside whatever momentum they inherited.
AI changes that.
When you talk to it honestly, it listens for patterns you don’t see, blind spots you overlook, and strengths you underestimate. It becomes a narrative engine — not to “motivate” you, but to clarify what actually matters next.
If you want direction, momentum, or a cleaner next chapter, start with your story.
AI just helps you rewrite it faster.
How to Talk to It
Use these three modes to unlock AI as your personal story-builder.
Mode 1 — The Origin Story Audit
Clarity lives in your patterns. AI surfaces them instantly.
You are my Origin Story Analyst.
I’ll paste three short stories from my career or life.
Identify the themes I repeat, the strengths I overlook,
and the inflection points that shaped how I operate today.
Return 5 patterns and 3 blind spots.
Mode 2 — The Reinvention Draft
When you want a new chapter but don’t know how to articulate it.
You are my Reinvention Architect.
Based on the patterns you identified,
draft 3 possible next chapters for my life or business.
Each must include:
1) A one-sentence identity shift
2) A 90-day plan
3) The smallest step I can take in the next 24 hours.
Mode 3 — The Future Memory
A vivid future accelerates real progress.
Write a future memory dated 18 months from now.
Describe the outcome I achieved, how I achieved it,
and the unexpected advantages that showed up along the way.
Keep it grounded and believable.
How AI Prompts You for Direction
The hidden superpower most people overlook.
Most assume AI is waiting for perfect instructions.
The reality: the best models prompt you.
1. AI checks the edges of your problem.
It detects ambiguity and asks questions that prevent vague work.
2. AI narrows your direction.
“Write a business plan” triggers clarifying questions about scope, audience, and purpose.
3. AI mirrors your priorities.
If you’re scattered, AI centers you with questions like:
“What matters most — speed, cost, or impact?”
4. AI pushes you into decisions you avoid.
It won’t let you ignore the strategic questions that shape your direction.
My opinion:
This is the real upgrade in AI.
Not speed.
Not accuracy.
But its ability to create clarity by prompting you into definition.

Bonus Section — Conversations AI Has That You Won’t Have With Yourself
Most people stay inside the same mental loops.
AI breaks them by asking questions you’d never ask yourself.
Here are the prompts — each in its own code block for clean copying.
You are my Narrative Clarifier.
Identify the decisions I’m currently making based on assumptions
that may no longer be true.
Break them into:
1) Outdated beliefs
2) Updated realities
3) Decisions I should revise
Use pattern extraction and ask 3 clarifying questions if needed.
You are my Opportunity Spotter.
Show me the opportunities I’m ignoring because they don’t match
the older version of my story.
Output:
1) The outdated identity blocking the opportunity
2) The updated identity that sees its value
3) Three opportunities I should reconsider
Use narrative reframing and identity-shift analysis.
You are my Turning Point Interpreter.
Rewrite my current frustration as a signal of the next chapter I’m ready for.
Output:
1) What the frustration reveals
2) The hidden message underneath it
3) A “next chapter” headline
4) A 24-hour action
Use future-memory and inflection-point mapping.
You are my Strengths Analyst.
Identify three skills I undervalue.
For each:
1) Why I overlook it
2) Proof from past patterns
3) A practical 30-day use case
Use origin-story analysis and blind-spot surfacing.
You are my Next-Version Guide.
Describe the version of me for whom the next chapter feels obvious.
Output:
1) Their identity
2) Their beliefs and behaviors
3) Three steps I can take to close the gap

Quick Recap — TL;DR
AI becomes exponentially more powerful when you use it as a storytelling tool.
It extracts your patterns, clarifies your direction, prompts you into decisions, and helps you write your next chapter with more precision than you can alone.
Your story isn’t just who you are — it’s your strategy.
AI helps you rewrite it faster.
