# Learn to see through AI, not memorise the buttons

Everything I told you before the summer is in the past. That is how I sometimes start a workshop, half joking, half serious. The AI world has completely changed again in a few months. Fortunately, the principles remain the same.

That second sentence is what it is all about.

## What happens after an update

I saw it recently with someone who had built a nice content workflow. An assistant that wrote texts in a recognisable personal style, carefully set up with examples and instructions. It worked for months. Until the underlying model got an update. The next morning, everything sounded different. The personal style was gone, and nobody knew exactly why.

That is no exception. Every agent or workflow you build today can work differently within a few weeks, or not at all anymore. The tools change, the menus change, the names change. What was called a connector yesterday, is called a plugin today, and a source tomorrow.
