I Built an AI Agent That Figures Out Where to Start — Based on Your Actual Job

If you're using AI at work but still not sure where to start, this video solves that problem — by building a Claude Cowork agent that figures it out for you based on your actual job. Most AI advice gives you ten use cases and twenty prompts. That's not helpful when your week is already full. This agent asks you three questions about your actual job, surfaces one realistic task to automate first, and walks you through scheduling it before the video is over. This is a build-along. You'll need a second tab open and a paid Claude account. If you're on mobile, bookmark this and come back when you're at your desk. ___________________________________________________________ BEFORE READING MORE — were you aware of this? Your AI knows more about how you work than your boss does. Your communication style, your workflows, your standards, the way you think through problems — it's all in there. Built up over hundreds of conversations. And right now, none of it belongs to you. Every time you switch tools, change jobs, or get handed a new AI at work, you start over. That context stays behind. The version of AI that actually knew you? Gone. Here's how to fix that. The Professional AI Interview Kit — $17 https://calhyslop.lemonsqueezy.com/ch... Before it asks you a single question, it reads whatever context already exists in your workspace. Then it interviews you across seven areas — including your professional history, the things you've carried from past roles that shape how you work today and would never come up if someone just asked what your job title is. The result is a Personal Operating Document that reflects what you said and what it found. Includes a step-by-step video walkthrough. Setup takes under five minutes. Prefer to do it yourself? → The Portable AI Working Identity — Free https://calhyslop.kit.com/portable_ai... A structured document that walks you through capturing your own professional context. You fill it in, you own it, you carry it across any tool or employer. Good starting point — though you can only put in what you know to include. The kit surfaces the rest. ___________________________________________________________ 📋 THE COWORK STARTER PROMPT Wow. This prompt is just too long to fit here in the description.
