STEP BY STEP

Create Your
First Function

Save one repeatable AI job, then run new material through it.

BEFORE YOU START

Choose One Repeatable Job

A good first Function does one job you expect to run again. Prefer narrow rules to broad ones.

  • goodCompare new market notes against my portfolio.
  • goodTurn customer feedback notes into product opportunities.
  • goodExtract risks and next actions from project updates.
  • THE STEPS

    Build the Function

    first function context / prompt / test
    01select context

    Choose notes or sections the Function should know every time it runs.

    02open editor

    Create a Function from that selected context.

    03write prompt

    Tell the Function what to do with new material and what output you want.

    04save

    Save the Function so it becomes reusable.

    05name it

    Rename the Function to use a title that says the job: Extract risks, Compare claims, Draft brief.

    06test

    Drop one fresh note on it and inspect the output before trusting it.

    Only choose context you are comfortable sending to your AI provider each time the Function runs. Hide from AI prevents automatic discovery, not intentional context you select.

    PROMPT SHAPE

    Tell It the Repeatable Judgment

    The prompt should say what to look for, what standards to apply, and what format to produce.

    Starter pattern

    Using the saved context, read the new material and identify what changed, why it matters, and what action I should consider. Return a concise brief with evidence from the input.

    After the first test, tighten the prompt. Add examples, remove vague instructions, and make the desired output format explicit.
