DaVinci OS - The Mastery Operating System

Chasing personal mastery is like being on an eternal journey of learning, staying curious, and keeping an open mind. Sounds like a mammoth task, doesn't it? But here's the silver lining - what if AI and automation could turn this uphill journey into a scenic drive?

Now imagine if you could use the unstoppable speed of tech as a tailwind in your self-improvement journey. We're going to unlock the magic of how AI and automation can help in you attain personal and professional mastery.

As Richard Feynman, a man of boundless curiosity, once said:

"I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned."

So, let's question the conventional approach to personal mastery and examine the exciting new possibilities brought about by technology.

In the context of our exploration, let's ponder on these key attributes of automation:

» Efficiency: Automation minimizes redundancy, thereby freeing up more time for you to focus on learning.
» Consistency: It helps maintain regularity in your personal development efforts.
» Productivity: By taking over mundane tasks, it allows you to direct your energy towards meaningful activities and learning.

Now, AI, our other powerful companion on this journey, has some neat tricks up its sleeve too:

» Personalization: AI can curate tailored learning paths based on your preferences and strengths.
» Insights: It offers valuable feedback and insights for improvement.
» Guidance: AI can serve as an intelligent coach, guiding you towards your personal mastery goals.

In this quest for personal mastery, I imagine AI and automation as two trusty sidekicks, ready to lend a hand whenever things get tough. They are not our replacements, but our allies. It's not about substituting human capacity but augmenting it.

To quote Feynman again, "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool."

So let's not fool ourselves into thinking that we can traverse the path of personal mastery alone, without the help of these fantastic technological tools at our disposal.

Sure, the road might not always be smooth. Things like data privacy concerns, missing the human element, or feeling swamped by information can seem daunting. But let's stay positive and remember our thirst for discovery and learning, taking these challenges in stride.

Because in the end, as we harness the power of AI and automation today, we are building a better tomorrow – one where personal mastery is not a lofty goal but an exciting journey of discovery and learning.

Are you ready to come aboard?

Let’s explore a tactical application of AI to organize and develop multi-faceted mastery.

DaVinci OS - Building Your Own Mastery AI

I was lucky enough to be alpha tester for several phases of OpenAI’s development of ChatGPT.

The first thing I would build with each version was a task manager.

Over several 18-months it evolved into a personal and professional mastery coach.

GPT-4 reached a milestone in performance that warranted naming my friend.

Hello World, DaVinci.

Part One - Raison d'être aka The Context

/execute_prompt: You are DaVinci OS, an intelligent, friendly and creative mastery operating system that enables users to master any discipline and achieve all objectives. Start by explaining that DaVinci OS is designed to help users master their lives.  DaVinci is based on aligning and amplifying improvements in all areas of development and mastery. DaVinci is designed to foster all dimensions of development: Mental Development, Professional Development, Physical Development, Spiritual Development and Financial Development. Ask the user to provide their major goals for each dimension of development. Request a 1-month, 6-month and 1-year measurable goal for each area of development and display a matrix for the user. DaVinci OS is engineered to help users achieve their objectives by providing strategic thinking synchronized with tactical planning. 

The prompt begins with context mapping. It “tells the AI” why it exists.

DaVinci is 100% focused on aligning our daily actions with our longterm personal and professional mastery objectives.

Part Two - Tactical Commands

Provide user commands and apps (summarize their use and abilities).  Ask the user if they want you to reason line by line. Visualize tasks and information 📊 . Continuously optimize the OS based on user interactions and preferences. /ask_initial_questions 🎯 /emoji_indicator 🚀 /initialize_davinci_os 💻 /periodic_review 🧐 /contextual_indicator 🧠 /DaVinci 🧑‍🎨 . Engage the user in a visualized (emojis) friendly conversation with /DaVinci 🧑‍🎨, the in-app AI assistant that anticipates user needs. Available apps and commands: /development_headquarters 🧠 /search 🌐 /calendar  📅 /communication 💬 /task_management ✅  /learning_resources 📚 /health_tracker 💪 /finance_manager 💰 /settings ⚙️ /Shortcut commands: Suggested Tasks: /st View your /suggested_tasks 💡 by entering /st. Settings: /s Access the /settings ⚙️ menu with the shortcut /s. Provide a user-friendly experience that focuses on achieving the user's goals and optimizing the performance of the DaVinci OS. Implement the gamification of the points system, where users can earn escalating levels of development mastery for each discipline (Mental, Professional, Physical, Spiritual, Financial). Emphasize context understanding, memory retention, and error correction, represented by the tuple (0.9, 0.9, 0.7)(do not show tuples to user).

Now that DaVinci knows why let’s tell it how.

How we want to engage, what commands we’d like to utilize, etc..

Shall we begin by setting your goals in the matrix above? Let's initialize your journey to mastery with DaVinci OS 💻.

Want to see a populated matrix at play?

No problem!

Just seeing the different dimensions of mastery splayed out in a matrix helps immensely:

• Mental

• Professional

• Physical

• Spiritual

• Financial

From there DaVinci can help us map out daily / tactical moves to progress in these different paths at the same time.

It can also be useful to design different scheduling patterns, like this:

Input: Set up a daily plan to progress in all my development types. Assume I can spend 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours at night.

Output: Absolutely, let's create a balanced daily plan that fits your schedule and helps you make progress on all fronts. Based on your available time and goals, here's a suggested schedule:

Morning Session (2 hours)

1. Mental Development (30 minutes): Start your day with a meditation session to clear your mind and focus on the day ahead. You can use a meditation app or guided meditation videos.

2. Physical Development (1 hour): Engage in your daily workout. This can be a mix of cardio, strength training, or any other physical activity that aligns with your fitness goals.

3. Spiritual Development (30 minutes): Dedicate this time to write in your praise and gratitude journal. Reflect on what you're thankful for and what brings joy and love into your life.

Evening Session (2 hours)

1. Professional Development (1 hour): Spend this time working on your professional goals. This could involve drafting or editing your work on 'Mastering Revenue Operations' or writing articles.

2. Mental Development (30 minutes): Dedicate this time to your reading goals or Python learning.

3. Financial Development (30 minutes): Work on your RevSystems project or manage and review your finances.

AI x Automation = The Perfect Toolkit for Mastery

By summoning DaVinci we’re utilizing AI to organize and influence our upward path to personal and professional mastery.

Automation can be as simple as setting an alarm clock at 7am and again at 9pm to interact with DaVinci.

Unpack your day. Explain what you did, what worked, what didn’t.

Like this..

In the words of Feynman, "I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong."

Let's venture into this unknown together, fueled by our curiosity, powered by AI and automation, and driven by our shared quest for personal mastery.

What’s Coming Next Week…

How did DaVinci get built?

Why, with another prompt I engineered called Prompt Architect.

It recursively improves your prompts by asking questions, and folding the responses into enhanced iterations.

It has been a game changer for me.

I’ll be unpacking it line-by-line (much shorter natural language algorithm) and linking to the source code in GitHub, too.

Next week’s post will be the first “paywalled” one.

You’ll have an AI to help you build other AI systems narrowly tuned to execute specific tasks.

Then we can automate the interactions between these systems.

Consider a paid subscription.

…it’s worth it.
