# Template, onboarding your AI in six messages

You know your AI would work better if it knew you. Only you never get round to it, because where do you start? This template takes that question away. Six short messages with blanks, in the order you would get to know a new colleague. Fifteen minutes, one conversation.

## Start with the first message

Each message starts with 'Remember this about me', so your assistant knows it has to save something instead of answering a question. Fill in the part in brackets. Short is fine, honest is a must.

**Message 1, your context**

```

Remember this about me. I work as [your role] at [type of organisation, for example an SME with twenty people or as a freelancer]. A normal working day looks like this: [two or three sentences]. What occupies me most today is [a project, a challenge, a change]. Only answer with a short confirmation of what you have remembered.

```

As a Member you get the five other messages below, the check question you ask before and after, and what you do if your assistant has remembered something wrong.
