Your AI is lazy because you are

Most people treat AI like a magic 8-ball. Shake it, ask a vague question, get disappointed by the generic answer, then complain that "AI doesn't work."

Face it. Your prompts are garbage.

You wouldn't walk into a room of consultants and say "make my business better" then expect brilliance. Yet that's exactly how most solo operators approach AI. Then they wonder why they're getting blog-post fluff instead of actionable intel.

It’s time to fix that by giving an epic amount of useful context to get the most out of our new digital slaves.

APQC Process Classification Framework - Free process mapping gold. The Cross Industry issue is easy to get, just needs an email. Most people ignore this because it looks boring. That's why it works.

Anthropic's Prompt Engineering Guide - Actually useful, unlike 90% of AI "expert" content. No fluff, just what works.

The Mom Test - Rob Fitzpatrick's guide to asking better questions. Works on humans AND AI.

This week I spent 3 hours building a proper prompt for process mapping. Sounds boring, right?

The reality is the creation, adjustment, and management of process models is quite time consuming.

Here's what happened: I took a successful Claude conversation where we'd mapped out a client's workflow and process architecture. Instead of starting from scratch every time, I asked Claude to extract the methodology and turn it into a reusable prompt.

How Did Papaya Slash Support Costs Without Adding Headcount?

When Papaya saw support tickets surge, they faced a tough choice: hire more agents or risk slower service. Instead, they found a third option—one that scaled their support without scaling their team.

The secret? An AI-powered support agent from Maven AGI that started resolving customer inquiries on day one.

With Maven AGI, Papaya now handles 90% of inquiries automatically - cutting costs in half while improving response times and customer satisfaction. No more rigid decision trees. No more endless manual upkeep. Just fast, accurate answers at scale.

The best part? Their human team is free to focus on the complex, high-value issues that matter most.

The result? A prompt that combines APQC frameworks with decision gateway logic. It doesn't just spit out generic process maps - it understands decision points, loops, and conditions.

Three hours of upfront work now saves me 40+ hours (no, that is not a typo) on every client project. The output is very useful instead of consultant-speak nonsense. The best part is I didn’t create this prompt in isolation of other work. I did it WHILE doing the work I was going to be doing anyway. Small adjustments and refinements to it to get the best possible output every time.

The kicker? Most people would rather complain about AI being "unreliable" than spend 3 hours making it reliable. Their loss, my competitive advantage.

Speaking of processes that actually work...

If you're sick of working every afternoon while your mates are at the pub, The Pack might be your escape route.

It's a community for solo operators who want to build real systems and processes - not collect productivity apps or attend webinars about "optimisation."

We're talking proper implementation. The kind where you can knock off at 2pm on a Tuesday without your business imploding.

No motivational speeches. No "mindset shifts."

Practical system-building with people who've been trapped in the same daily grind.

- or keep explaining to your family why you're "too busy" for everything that matters.

Your call.

Lone Wolf Unleashed helps solo operators work less while keeping the income. No team building required.
