I recently met up with some former co-workers to catch up and share what I’ve been learning about AI. The conversation covered a lot—voice input, meta-prompting, project organization—and I realized afterward that I had probably overwhelmed them with too much information at once. To make it more digestible, I wanted to send them a structured summary of what we talked about. Instead of writing it all out manually, I used AI to generate it. And since I was already doing that, I decided to document the process to show how these tools can help streamline this kind of work.

Here’s how I did it, plus a breakdown of some of the most useful takeaways.

The Process

  1. Brain Dump: I recorded myself talking through my AI workflows—covering tools, strategies, and how I actually use them.
  2. Transcription: I used a transcription tool to convert the recording into text, keeping all the key insights.
  3. Structured Summary: I used AI to refine the transcript into a clear, organized document with headers and bullet points.

Key Takeaways from the Video

  • Voice Input Removes Friction – Talking to AI instead of typing speeds up idea capture and brainstorming. I use voice mode while running or commuting to get thoughts down quickly. AI then organizes the raw dump into something structured.
  • Meta Prompting for Better Results – Instead of guessing how to phrase a prompt, I ask AI to refine it first. This makes responses clearer and more useful.
  • Organizing AI Workflows with Projects – Keeping related files, notes, and context in a project-based system makes AI interactions more efficient.
  • Iterate and Improve Prompts – The first AI-generated response is rarely perfect. I always refine and tweak prompts, and sometimes I even ask the AI how I could phrase things better.

Watch It in Action

Here’s a video where I walk through the entire workflow, from recording my thoughts to generating a structured document:

Hopefully, this gives you some ideas on how to make AI work for you.
