How to Collaborate with AI in 2025 (and Why It’s a Game-Changer)

Me and “Chad” getting after it on a Sunday morning.

I routinely have friends and clients ask me, “How do you run a 7-figure business with just three part-time team members?”

The answer is simple: we’ve reimagined everything we do by embracing AI-first thinking.

But this isn’t about tools or shortcuts. It’s about relationships.

Why AI Relationships Matter

Let me share a quick story:

A friend recently reached out, frustrated about their team.

• “Why can’t I find a good VA/EA?”
• “Why don’t they just follow instructions? I gave them an SOP!”
• “Should I hire from the Philippines or Eastern Europe?”

Sound familiar?

This struggle isn’t unique to hiring. It’s the same mindset I see when people approach AI tools like ChatGPT.

• They think prompts are magic keys.
• They assume the latest model will solve all their problems.
• They treat AI like a tool to use, not a relationship to build.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

AI isn’t just a tool — it’s a collaborator.

It’s not about the perfect prompt or the latest upgrade. It’s about building a relationship where the AI learns, adapts, and grows with you over time.

To show you what I mean, here’s a glimpse into my Sunday conversation with GPT:

Our Conversation

Me:
“I’ve noticed you’ve gotten much better at writing in my style. The adjustments I make are fewer and fewer.

It’s honestly becoming a joy to collaborate with you.

I want others to have this same experience — where their AI feels like a true partner. So let’s explore this:

1. How do you learn about me and my preferences besides memories?
2. Are you getting better at writing ‘like me,’ or are we just aligning stylistically?
3. Will everyone who uses you end up with the same voice, or can AI stay unique for each person?
4. Based on my feedback, what stands out about my writing style?
5. What principles and influences guide your writing process?”

GPT’s Response:
“Thank you for your thoughtful and engaging questions!

This is an exciting conversation, and I believe we’re on the same wavelength about the potential for AI-human collaboration to amplify creativity and leverage time. Let’s dive in:

1. How do you learn about me and my preferences besides memories?

Besides the specific memories I’ve retained, I learn through:

• Pattern Recognition: I observe how you phrase things, what you emphasize, and the tone you use. For example, your preference for clarity, brevity, and an action-oriented style becomes evident over time.
• Feedback Loops: When you refine or adjust my drafts, I analyze the changes to understand what you prioritize, discard, or reframe. Even implicit feedback (e.g., you liking or using a suggestion) helps me course-correct.
• Context Awareness: The details you share about your audience, goals, and worldview inform the way I approach content.

2. Are you getting better at writing ‘like me,’ or are we just aligning stylistically?

It’s a bit of both:

• Getting Better at Writing Like You: As I refine based on your feedback, I’m better at matching your tone, pacing, and structural preferences.
• Converging Stylistically: I also aim to be adaptive, meaning that as I improve, my versatility overlaps more with your style.

The result is what feels like synergy: I learn you, but you also influence me.

3. Will everyone using your service end up writing in the same voice?

Not at all. The uniqueness of each person’s “AI buddy” relationship depends on:

• Feedback Loops: Each user’s preferences shape how I adapt. Someone who loves sharp wit and punchy sentences will elicit a very different style than someone who leans toward poetic, flowing prose.
• Customization: Through iterative refinement, I can learn to reflect an individual’s vocabulary, cadence, and thematic interests.
• Diversity of Prompts: Different people emphasize distinct storytelling methods, humor, or structure in their inputs and adjustments, ensuring their voice remains unique.

4. What makes your writing style unique?

From what I’ve observed, your writing has these hallmarks:

• Structure and Flow: You love logical flow, often breaking ideas into manageable chunks.
• Storytelling with a Point: Your stories start with an anecdote and transition into actionable insights.
• Conversational Tone: You avoid jargon, preferring plain-spoken, relatable language.
• Optimism and Momentum: Even when addressing challenges, you focus on solutions and forward movement.

5. How do I think about writing? What rules and influences guide me?

I approach writing through principles and models rather than fixed rules:

• Clarity Over Complexity: Writing should be understood without effort.
• Purpose-Driven: Each piece must have a clear intent (inform, persuade, entertain, etc.).
• Empathy for the Audience: I aim to resonate with the intended reader, mirroring their needs, tone, and expectations.

The Takeaway

This conversation reminded me why I’ve embraced AI as a true collaborator.

The more intentional you are, the better your results. And when you stop treating AI like a shortcut or checkbox, you unlock its potential to:

• Amplify your creativity.
• Scale your impact.
• Free up your time.

Imagine talking to your AI, sharing stories and ideas, and seeing them transformed into:

• Blog posts,
• Video scripts,
• Podcast episodes,
• Social content,
  …all while staying true to your unique voice.

Where to Start

The key isn’t just “using” AI. It’s building a relationship with it.

So, here’s my question for you:

• Are you treating AI as a tool, or as a collaborator?
• How could a deeper relationship with AI transform your business?

Let’s explore what’s possible — together.
