How Amplifiers powers almost everything I do in my business, and the AI-free thinking tool that helped me finally explain what it could make possible for you too
Daria! Readers: Do not skim past is one sentence in the middle: "Across all of this, my part is the judgment."
Two thousand users, three hundred workflows, agents running while you sleep, and the whole operation still routes through one human deciding what matters. That is the most honest description of working with AI I have read, and you wrote it in passing.
As for our time together, you did the hard part. You already knew everything about Amplifiers. You walked in carrying the whole album and walked out with the single. "AI's dream team, inside your AI" was in you the entire time, and watching it surface was the best hour of my week!
I trust Daria implicitly and so I have registered for the webinar on August 05 so I can add another lever of advantage to my growing quill of arrows to tackle the most challenging part of being human which is, as Stephen Levy authored: "to speak in order to be understood and to listen in order to understand" Mind mapping indeed. Fascinating stuff
Rich, you're right to flag that line, it's the one that matters. But saying judgment matters out loud isn't the same as actually building a checkpoint for it, and that gap is where most of these break.
We've watched workflows run clean for months with a human "checking" only in theory, until the day nobody actually looked before something shipped. If that step isn't a real stop with something specific to check, it stops happening quietly and nobody notices until the wrong thing is already out the door.
That’s the distinction I’d make too. The problem isn’t having a human in the loop, it’s having a human in the loop without a defined point of judgment. If those three questions are what force the evaluation to actually happen, that’s a very different thing from simply saying “a human is involved.” 🙂
This looks so helpful. I need to give it a try but I am not even there yet... I am in an uncertain place as regards what I am , let alone how to position anything on that basis! 🫣
Alice, uncertain about what you are is the actual starting line, and it's where most people I work with begin. 🙂 Nobody hands you the answer. It's already in you, waiting for the right questions in the right order. Wednesday is free if you want to watch how that works. I hope to see you there.
A practical look at using AI as a team of specialists rather than one general assistant. The real value comes from repeatable workflows, the right tools, and human review before anything goes live.
Daria, I'm so intrigued by your Amplifiers! One part of me is - get them now! The other part is well, you haven't built them yourself so you don't know exactly what they do....I'm at a crossroads!
Thanks for the shout-out, Daria! Such a fan of what you have created with Amplifiers!! Thanks for the lines to add to Claude's global instructions - that is super useful and I totally didn't think of that. This post is bookmarked to work through as I always find sooo many tips buried in your posts and this is no exception 😍
haha yeah, I'd say the biggest takeaway is to add that line, or a variation of it, to your global instructions - then you get to use Amplifiers more without having to remember Claude to use amplifiers 🤗

Could you help me understand your role with Amplifier?
Is Amplifier a product that you built and actively maintain yourself, or are you primarily representing the product while a broader team builds and maintains it?
I'm also trying to understand the role of this newsletter. Is it your personal perspective as a builder, an official publication from Amplifier, or something in between? I found myself a bit unsure while reading.
My team and I built Amplifiers and of course, we actively maintain it. Since it’s my product, I talk about it here and share how I use it and the workflows I build for it. But my newsletter isn’t only about Amplifiers, you can see the rest of my articles here: https://aiblewmymind.substack.com/

Rich, thank you so much for helping me find that clarity, everything makes so much more sense now!

David, appreciate you 🙏🏼 you’ll have a blast
You are going to absolutely love this based on these comments. Let me know if you're something you'd kike to unravel and we'll make it happen

It's not lip service, ever. I've three questions that are maxims to ensure judgement, evaluation, and curiosity anchor it. 👍

We're in lockstep

Okay

Daria, I'm so intrigued by your Amplifiers! One part of me is - get them now! The other part is well, you haven't built them yourself so you don't know exactly what they do....I'm at a crossroads!
What are your main concerns? Quality of output or security and privacy?
I build something useful then forget I own it three weeks later. The standing instruction to check once when the work changes is what I am borrowing.

Can't wait to get started with the amplifiers, Daria!
& I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
I like the marketing part of your product. How do you get access to it?
Hey George, you can connect Amplifiers to Claude or ChatGPT for free here:
https://getamplifiers.com/#setup
To access the PRO Amplifiers, you can either get a paid subscription to AI Blew My Mind, which includes PRO access automatically or start a free 7-day trial directly from the website.
The standing instruction to search the catalog before starting is the real system here, not the tools themselves.
Thank you for the explanation.
