Framework
AI as Present-Day Coaching
Use past decisions to coach yourself accurately in the present, not just to search your archive.
How it works
- 1Build a personal AI that uses your history to coach you now, not just to archive the past.
- 2Identify recurring patterns: decisions you regret, energy drains, moments of highest performance.
- 3The goal is not an archive — it is a coach that knows your actual history.
