Still Prompting in 2026? (Everwise Podcast #5)

Come find us in our free community: https://www.skool.com/everwise-ai-367... Still prompting in August of 2026? This episode is about using AI to think better, not just faster: building context so your AI stops forgetting you, and what actually turns something you learned into a permanent change in how you work. This is the Everwise Podcast. Every Tuesday, Kosta, Justin, and Tim sit down with the pain points real people are feeling about AI and work, and talk them through honestly. No pretending we know everything. We are on the learning journey too. In this episode: why prompting is squeezing a gallon of juice out of an orange, the 60-year-old professor vs the four-year-old next door, Archie and the AI amnesia problem, why you don't understand something until you build it, the trench your habits dig, the two yeses, a chemistry teacher with a meter stick, and why AI is a mirror that amplifies who you already are. If this hits something for you, come tell us what resonated.
