Saturday School

Saturday School recap: find where your AI breaks

Your automation can break where you never looked, and an AI chat can spot it ahead of time. Watch the class.

  • Open three new chats in a free AI tool, such as ChatGPT or Gemini.
  • Paste the request below into each.
  • Fix first what shows up in two or three chats.

What happened

  1. Mercer, the teacher, tested a made-up salon's reminder email live: "This is live with no net."
  2. All three chats warned about the wrong time zone, and about "Hi ," with no name.
  3. One answer surprised him: the same reminder sent twice. "I didn't think about something like that."

You have seen these

  • Ever arrived an hour early because the clocks moved? He once had five time zones on one call: "It was insane."
  • Ever emailed a link that went nowhere? He has: "guilty, I've done that too."

The request

On the [CONTEXT] line, put one sentence about your automation, such as "My shop emails a receipt after every order." No automation yet? Keep the salon.

[CONTEXT] A salon emails tomorrow's customers a reminder. [/CONTEXT]
[THE RESULT I WANT] 5 rare ways this could fail. [/THE RESULT I WANT]
[INSTRUCTIONS] For each: how it fails, how often, how bad, how to catch it early. [/INSTRUCTIONS]

Next class: Saturday 17 October, You are not in the wrong place on the map, on where you keep what you know. Time and link: class page.
