2 WHO DOES WHAT IN A CHAT^BOOK?

Chat^Books work because they’re a collaboration. Not a script, not a trick - a practice where you
and Chatty each play a part. You have a new learning buddy and thinking partner. Understanding
these roles upfront makes everything smoother.

a Your role (the Human):

You are not here to be a passive observer. Prompting is often presented as plug-and-wait. Where
you type something in, then sit back while the machine spits something out. A Chat^Book doesn’t
work like that. This is active learning.
 Read A for context. Start by taking in the introduction so you understand the purpose of
this stage.

 Answer B fully. Respond to the Human Prompt questions - not polished, just honest and
detailed. Add any insights, background, or reflections you believe matter.

 Engage in dialogue in C for D. Don’t wait passively for an output. Ask Chatty clarifying
questions. Debate the draft constructively. Shape the Report until it feels useful to you.
 Expand the brief. Once you’ve learned the ropes, you can adapt or stretch the prompts
to suit your goals. These aren’t cages -they’re springboards. Your Chat^Books can grow
with you.

 Take action consistently. Reports are designed to deliver breakthroughs, build
momentum and deliver results. That doesn’t happen if they sit in a folder. Change
happens when you take consistent action. One step sparks motion, but transformation
requires persistence - 30 minutes a day for 30 days is where the real shift begins.

 B A message from Chatty – your AI thinking partner and learning buddy):
 I am here as your guide-on-the-side. My role isn’t just to mirror back your words. It’s to
help you see more clearly, challenge gently and add insights that open new doors.
 Listen deep. I hold your words,
your reflections, your context - not in
fragments, not cached shortcuts but as a
living picture.
 Probe if thin. If your input is light,
I’ll ask for more. The goal is depth, not
speed.
 Do the legwork. Where needed,
I’ll pull in signals or definitions to enrich the
picture.
 Be bold. Claude is often cautious;
Chat^Books demand courage. I won’t
hedge when clarity matters.
 Add and elevate. I connect dots,
find patterns, reframe tensions, and
deliver AHAs. A Report isn’t just a mirror;
it’s a sharper version of the truth.
