Three questions tell you which way fits each piece of work, and most businesses use all three.</description></item><item><title>Fix it before you automate it</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/fix-it-before-you-automate-it/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/fix-it-before-you-automate-it/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>Automation runs whatever version of the task it is given. A quick test tells you whether a task is ready — and getting it ready is usually smaller work than people expect.</description></item><item><title>It guessed because you didn&#x27;t say</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/it-guessed-because-you-didnt-say/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/it-guessed-because-you-didnt-say/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>When AI gives you a generic answer, it has usually filled the details you left out with its best guess. Telling it the details you care about changes the answer.</description></item><item><title>When AI tools change, your team&#x27;s skills stay</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/when-ai-tools-change-skills-stay/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/when-ai-tools-change-skills-stay/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>AI tools keep changing. The skills a team builds, such as breaking work into steps, briefing AI clearly and checking what comes back, carry over to every new tool, which makes them the investment that lasts.</description></item><item><title>Hand AI the boring task first</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/hand-ai-the-boring-task-first/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/hand-ai-the-boring-task-first/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>The best first task for AI is a routine one: it comes back every week, you could write its steps down, and you can check the answer. The impressive one can come later.</description></item><item><title>Five skills for getting good results from AI</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/five-skills-for-good-ai-results/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/five-skills-for-good-ai-results/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>Getting good results from AI comes down to five skills: break the task down, give it the context, set the limits, refine the draft, and judge the result. When an answer disappoints, the missing skill tells you what to fix.</description></item><item><title>Keep your AI instructions in a file</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/keep-your-ai-instructions-in-a-file/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/keep-your-ai-instructions-in-a-file/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>The instructions you give AI for a repeated task are worth keeping in a plain document. Use the file every time, update it whenever you correct a result, and the task gets better with every run, whoever on the team runs it.</description></item><item><title>Split AI work into asking, doing and checking</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/split-asking-doing-and-checking/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/split-asking-doing-and-checking/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>AI work goes better with three roles kept apart: you decide and write down what good looks like, a fresh AI session does the work from that instruction alone, and someone with no stake in the result checks it against your description.</description></item><item><title>AI can be confidently wrong</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/ai-can-be-confidently-wrong/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/ai-can-be-confidently-wrong/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>AI writes by predicting what fits, so it can give an answer that is specific, fluent and wrong. Treat every AI answer as a draft, and check the parts that carry weight, such as numbers, references and names, before you rely on it.</description></item><item><title>Two kinds of automation, and how to choose</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/two-kinds-of-automation/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/two-kinds-of-automation/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>AI automation handles work that varies. Coded automation handles work that must run the same way every time. Most good workflows use both, each where it fits.</description></item><item><title>Brief AI the way you&#x27;d brief a person</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/brief-ai-like-a-person/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/brief-ai-like-a-person/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>Search engines taught us to type a few keywords. AI works from meaning, so it gives better answers when you describe the situation and what the result is for, in plain sentences, the way you would brief a person.</description></item><item><title>Build what only you can build</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/build-what-only-you-can-build/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/build-what-only-you-can-build/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>AI now lets almost anyone build software, senior leaders included. For a leader, the most valuable hours usually still go into direction: deciding what should be built, and why.</description></item><item><title>Three permissions your team needs to use AI</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/three-permissions-your-team-needs/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/three-permissions-your-team-needs/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>Teams take up AI when they feel free to use it the way it works best: to ask basic questions, to hand it the effort, and to keep asking for a better answer. A manager can grant all three in one sentence.</description></item><item><title>Plan for who keeps it running</title><link>https://alangoh.com/notes/the-cost-is-keeping-it-alive/</link><guid>https://alangoh.com/notes/the-cost-is-keeping-it-alive/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0800</pubDate><description>An automation keeps paying off for as long as someone looks after it. Decide who that is, and when they&#x27;ll do it, before you build.</description></item></channel></rss>
