Companion Handshake

Build your Companion Handshake.

Three easy stages: who you are in the work, how AI should help, and what your AI should remember when you come back. Stop when you have enough. Leave with a portable working draft you can copy, download, edit, and use anywhere.

Stage 1 Stage 1 of 3

Who are you, and what are you making?

Start with the first honest mark. It does not need to impress anybody.

Use the lines if they help. Answer after the colon, on the next line, or write naturally. The Handshake will carry the signal forward.

Companion Review / Weekly Mirror

Your work changes. Your AI should change with it.

Ask your AI for a weekly summary of your progress, then bring it back for a fresh Companion Review. We will help you refine your process, update your Handshake, and teach your AI how to help you better next time.

Weekly Mirror prompt

Copy this into the AI you already use:

Give me a weekly summary of our work together.

Focus on:
1. What I worked on
2. What progress I made
3. Where I got stuck or scattered
4. What kind of help from you worked best
5. What kind of help wasted my time
6. What you learned about my voice, process, standards, and constraints
7. What should be updated in my Companion Handshake
8. My next honest action

Bring evidence. Get a better process. Return to the work.

Privacy / trust

Your Companion Handshake belongs to you.

This tool is designed to help you create and copy your own working context.

If you choose to share your answers or request a review, we may use anonymized patterns to improve the questions and teaching material. We do not need to know who you are to learn what helps people work better with AI.

$50 Working Session

One session. One stuck place. One next move.

Bring one practical issue with your AI setup, writing project, simple website, domain, launch path, or next step. In 30 minutes, we’ll find the stuck place and get one useful thing moving.

This is not permanent tech support. Before we meet, you will fill out a short intake so we can use the time well. If the issue needs more time, we will name the next step clearly instead of pretending everything fits into 30 minutes.

Please do not send passwords, payment details, private account access, or anything you would not want reviewed for this session.

  1. What do you need help with?
  2. What is the one thing you want working by the end?
  3. What have you already tried?
  4. What tools, accounts, or platforms are involved?
  5. What are you trying to make, publish, fix, or understand?
  6. What is the current state?
  7. What links or files should I look at?
  8. What is confusing you most right now?
  9. What should I avoid doing in the session?
  10. What kind of help works best for you?
  11. This session will be worth it if I leave with...
  12. Anything else I should know?
