Thank you for being honest with yourself. That takes guts.

Right now, your work is in the most vulnerable position in the AI economy.

Not because you are not good at what you do.

Because the tasks you are doing are exactly what AI was built to replace.

Here is the good news: you are not stuck here.

The fact that you took this quiz means you are already thinking differently from the people who never will.

The path from Category 1 to Category 2 starts with one thing: identifying the judgment call in your work that only you can make.

The AI Like a CEO Briefing Framework Guide (check your email) is your first step.

My upcoming book, “AI Literacy – How to Become Irreplaceable,” shows you the rest.

You might be wondering how one person creates all this content. Here's the honest answer: I merged my brain with AI.

I run a one-person agency that does the work of 3-4 people. Not because I work 80 hours a week. Because I spent a month on one prompt until I figured out something most people miss.

It started in January 2023. A client had 500 unresponded Google reviews. I tried doing them myself. Disaster. Hired a VA. Bigger disaster. Someone suggested AI. I laughed.

Then I paid a guy $100 to show me. Spent a month tweaking one prompt until it actually sounded human.

That month changed everything.

I don't use AI like a search engine. I brainstorm with it. I extracted my actual thinking patterns into it. Not a few emails or blog posts. My frameworks. My decision-making. How I communicate.

The tools I use daily: Claude for deep thinking and content. Gemini for interviews and extraction. Perplexity for research. Gamma for presentations. Ideogram for images.

But here's the thing I learned the hard way: tools are maybe 30% of it. The other 70% is your intelligence.

"Human in the loop" has it backwards. Your years of experience shouldn't be a checkpoint at the end. It should be the foundation from the start.

That's what I teach now.

Everything on this site was created through Intelligence Merge, my methodology for working WITH AI instead of being replaced by it.

Build, don't scroll.
