This was packed with so many sharp takeaways, Jenny.

The moment I started using the D-C-I method and isolating tasks and compressing context, my results leveled up.

Also loved how you mapped models to roles and casting them for their strengths.

Totally aligned with this. At Makrilo, we’ve seen firsthand that the real unlock isn’t just using AI — it’s designing workflows around it. The D-C-I method and model matchmaking are spot on. This isn’t just tech—it’s ops, leadership, and leverage.

There’s so much value in this post, thanks Jenny!

Nanny problem is real. Don’t outsource your tasks to AI if the stakes are high. Instead, work together with them using clear context.

Love how you orchestrate each LLM models according to their speciality! 🙌🏻
