  Let your AI think in English, even if you work in Dutch

  Dutch costs your AI more working memory than English. So I let my AI work in English, and one sentence in your instruction is enough for that.

  In the workshop I sometimes show the instruction of my own agent. People expect something complicated then. What stands out to them most is one little sentence at the top: you do all the work in English. You think in English and you write your intermediate steps in English. And you brief other agents in English too.

  And then comes the question I see coming: 'Steff, you write everything in Dutch, right?' That is true. My articles and my emails are in Dutch, and my workshops too. Only what my AI does along the way to get there happens in English. And there is a very practical reason for that.
