Critical Thinking and Creativity with AI

    You'll configure an AI assistant with persistent memory and preferences, then put it through critical thinking boot camp. Learn to write prompts with specific evaluative criteria that get consistent results, practice divergent thinking exercises to offset AI's tendency to narrow creativity, and question your own assumptions about story, character, and style. Build a complete story framework using the Story Circle method, develop distinct character voices, and create a Director system that orchestrates multiple AI agents like a creative team. Master the art of managing artificial collaborators - knowing when to trust their output, when to push back, and how to maintain your unique creative voice. By the end, you'll have working character agents that can write full scenes in your style, plus the critical thinking frameworks to keep improving them. Perfect for writers who want AI superpowers without becoming generic.
