Just Talk to It

No commands to memorize. Ask in plain English and start with "Armbrain,".

You do not need special commands, codes or slash syntax to use Armbrain. Talk to it the way you would brief a sharp colleague, in whichever AI assistant you use: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another.

The one habit worth building: start with "Armbrain," so your assistant knows to look in your client minds rather than answer from general knowledge.

These all work

Your assistant works out which Armbrain tool to use from what you ask. There is rarely one right way to phrase something, so say it the way you would say it out loud.

Be specific when it matters

Name the client, the time frame and what you want back. "What did we decide" gets an answer. "What did we decide with Brightpath Learning in the last two meetings, with dates" gets a better one. Ask for sources whenever you plan to share the answer with a client.

Want a one-page list of what you can ask? See the Armbrain cheat sheet.

Try it

  • Armbrain, what do we know about Brightpath Learning?

  • Armbrain, remember that Dana prefers a call over email for budget questions

  • Armbrain, what is still open for Tidewater Logistics?

Prompt of the day

A plain-English catch-up before a call

Change these first:

CLIENTCOMPANY = Northstar Studio Armbrain, prep me for my next CLIENTCOMPANY meeting. What did we decide last time, and what is still open?

Why it works: It is plain English with a client name and two clear questions, which is all Armbrain needs to find the right mind and answer from it.
