The AI in Your Corner

Forget "Better Google." We aim for "Better You."

And in case you have already, like many, mostly moved on from using Google to using Perplexity.ai, this is still research, albeit on steroids.

AI isn't only here to fetch facts. It's here to use facts and frameworks to spar with your ideas, challenge your assumptions, and multiply your cognitive output.

The often quoted study: BCG consultants with AI completed 12% more tasks, 25% faster, with 40% better results.

What is it that consultants do? They analyze, think, and they apply frameworks.

You're not outsourcing your thinking. You're amplifying it.

But…

"AI can't do what I do." You're right. It can do more.

The biggest obstacle really isn't the tech. It's figuring out how to apply its raw power to your specific use case. But this is also where you’ll find the most leverage: you can build solutions tailored to your needs.

What AI needs to exceed your expectations is

1. High-quality context – makes the output truly relevant.
2. Smart questions – demand ideas, not answers.

You’re directing. You’re curating

In short:

• AI generates possibilities. You make decisions.
• Lean into and leverage frameworks. AI can apply any known framework to a given problem-space. Even better, it can make suggestions which frameworks are likely to be most useful if you ask it.
• Challenge it. Always ask "Why?" Make AI defend its stance.
