Give your AI a numbered rulebook and fix one rule at a time
If you keep asking an AI chatbot for the same kind of work, such as captions, client emails, or product descriptions, The Neuron suggests a simple habit. Keep a short, numbered set of rules in plain text and paste it in with each request. When an output misses, ask the AI for the smallest edit to the specific rule that caused the miss, rather than starting over. The idea comes from a paper by researchers at UCL and Huawei, called Memento 3. The authors report that their AI cleared all 25 public ARC-AGI-3 puzzle games by rewriting the rule behind each wrong guess. That result comes from puzzle games, and the newsletter's use for everyday business writing is a suggestion that has not been tested.
- For
- Detroit creatives and small business owners who already use an AI chat tool for repeated writing tasks and want more consistent results without coding.
- Cost
- No cost stated by the provider. The habit itself needs only a plain-text document and whatever AI chat tool you already use, which carries its own pricing and usage limits.
- Access
- Open to anyone. No sign-up, application, or technical skill is required. You need access to an AI chat tool. The underlying research paper is publicly available on arXiv, a free repository of research papers.
Your movePick one task you repeat with AI and write five or so numbered rules for it in a plain-text note. The next time the output misses, ask the AI which rule caused the miss and request the smallest possible edit to that rule. Save the revised version.
