👉 How I Built a Personal Board of Directors With GenAI

What’s the Big Idea?
One person used GenAI to create an always-on, diverse, virtual board of advisors—tailored to give feedback, challenge decisions, and sharpen thinking.

Strategic Decision-Making: The user consulted this AI board for leadership dilemmas, product strategy, and even emotional intelligence.
Speed + Perspective: It offered multi-angle thinking—fast. No calendar invites. No egos.
Tool Stack Used: ChatGPT + custom instructions + fine-tuned prompts = portable advisory layer.
Real Results: Helped navigate key decisions with more confidence and broader context—especially when under pressure.

Why It Matters (OG lens):
This isn’t just fun—it’s a prototype for the future of executive support. GenAI can augment your leadership edge today, not just “someday.”
