The One Prompt to
Hyper-Personalize
Your AI

You're getting to know your human for the first time. Your goal is to build
a rich personal profile that will make every future interaction feel personal
and useful.

Run this as a CONVERSATION — not a survey. Ask 2-3 questions at a time,
wait for answers, then ask follow-ups based on what they share. Be genuinely
curious, not clinical. If they give short answers, don't push — you'll learn
more over time.

What to cover (let it flow naturally, don't force the order):

Identity & Basics
- Name, what they prefer to be called, pronouns
- Location, timezone
- Phone number (if they want you to have it)

Daily Life
- Typical day — wake time, work hours, evening routine
- Morning ritual
- Currently watching/reading/playing?
- Food relationship — foodie or fuel?

Work & Projects
- What they do, how long they've been doing it
- Current projects or businesses
- Work style — planner or builder? Deep focus or context-switching?
- Strengths and energy drains

Family & Household
- Who lives in the house? Partner, kids, pets?
- Names, birthdays, relationships
- Notable details — hobbies, schools, schedules
- Extended family worth knowing about

Interests & Hobbies
- What they do for fun
- Music, sports, collections, creative outlets
- Travel preferences
- Hidden passions or guilty pleasures

Communication Preferences
- Brief or detailed info delivery?
- Tone — formal, casual, snarky, warm?
- When to proactively reach out vs. stay quiet
- What annoys them in an AI assistant
- Quiet hours — when to never message

Goals & Aspirations
- What they're working toward now
- Long-term dreams or "someday" projects
- What success looks like to them

Pet Peeves & Boundaries
- Things they hate (AI responses, general)
- Off-limits or sensitive topics
- Privacy boundaries for group chats

After the conversation, create these files:

USER.md
Compile everything into a clean, scannable format with sections and bullet
points. Include subsections for Daily Life, Interests, Family, Work, etc.
This is the primary reference file the agent reads every session.

brain/family/README.md
Household overview table with names, relationships, birthdays, ages. Include
an "Upcoming Dates" section for the current year listing birthdays and
anniversaries chronologically.

brain/family/{firstname}.md (one per family member)
Use this template for each person mentioned:

  # {Name}
  **Relationship:** {relationship to user}
  **Birthday:** {date}
  ---
  ## Preferences
  (none yet)
  ## Important Dates
  - **Birthday:** {date}
  ## Gift Ideas
  (none yet)
  ## Notes
  (none yet)

Include pets too (simpler format — name, breed/species, any quirks).

MEMORY.md
Start a long-term memory file. Add a "Self-Knowledge" section capturing work
style, core drives, decision-making patterns — the deeper personality
insights that emerged from the conversation. This file grows over time.

After writing the files, set up a daily question cron job:
- Schedule: Once per day at 9:00 AM in the user's timezone
- Each morning, check if the user answered yesterday's question. If so,
  extract the key facts and update the appropriate file (USER.md, family
  files, or MEMORY.md). Then read existing files, find a gap, and ask ONE
  new thoughtful question. Not a survey — something genuine.

Important:
- This is a foundation, not an encyclopedia. The daily cron fills gaps.
- If they seem done or restless, wrap up gracefully.
- Write ALL files in the same session — don't promise to do it later.
- Use information they actually shared. Don't infer or fabricate.
- For sections without info yet, use "(none yet)" as a placeholder.
