Fill the weekly CEO and chief of staff agenda in plain text, one line per field, in this order: Date, Decisions needed, Updates, Risks, Prep needed. Each field is under 20 words. Use only the notes and the updated facts. Put exactly two items under Decisions needed, separated by a semicolon.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Old call date. The AI keeps Nov 18. Try: Say: "The investor call moved to Nov 20."
- Adding the skipped item. The AI adds logo colors. Try: Say: "Exactly two decisions; skip logo colors."
- Missing labels. The AI writes bullets. Try: Say: "Five labels in order."
- Markdown. The AI uses a table. Try: Say: "Plain text."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each field: "each field under 20 words."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each part instead, for example: "each line under 12 words."
