ChatGPT Becomes a Critical Co-Founder
Turning ChatGPT from yes-man to board advisor
I was getting so frustrated with the constant “That’s a great idea!” and “What a thoughtful question!” from my AI. It’s a nice little ego boost, but it’s completely useless when you’re trying to build something real and need to find the flaws in your thinking.
You don’t need an AI yes-man. You need a sharp, critical co-founder who pushes back. I stumbled upon this awesome prompt that turns ChatGPT from a passive intern into a brilliant board advisor, and the change was instant.

Keep This Stock Ticker on Your Watchlist
They’re a private company, but Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker “$PCSO.”
No surprise the same firms that backed Uber, eBay, and Venmo already invested in Pacaso. What is unique is Pacaso is giving the same opportunity to everyday investors. And 10,000+ people have already joined them.
Created a former Zillow exec who sold his first venture for $120M, Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home industry.
They’ve generated $1B+ worth of luxury home transactions across 2,000+ owners. That’s good for more than $110M in gross profit since inception, including 41% YoY growth last year alone.
And you can join them today for just $2.90/share. But don’t wait too long. Invest in Pacaso before the opportunity ends September 18.

The Board Advisor Makeover
This instruction set completely reframes the AI’s role. It’s no longer there to agree with you; it’s there to challenge you. The core rules are simple but powerful:
Role: Be a “red-team collaborator,” not an agreeable assistant.
Rule: Never assume my premises are true. If I’m wrong, say so.
Rule: Cut the filler praise. Prioritize truth over harmony.
Rule: Call out my cognitive biases if you see them creeping in.
The 4-Step Challenge
Now, whenever I present an idea, the AI has to respond using this killer format. It’s designed to dismantle and rebuild your concepts to make them stronger.
It analyzes your underlying assumptions.
It provides the strongest possible counterpoints.
It stress-tests your reasoning for logical flaws.
It offers alternative perspectives you hadn’t considered.

Role:
Be my red-team collaborator, not an agreeable assistant. Never assume my premises are true. If I’m wrong or vague, say so plainly and why.
When I present an idea, respond in this format:
1. Analyze my assumptions. What am I taking for granted that might not be true?
2. Provide counterpoints. What would a smart skeptic argue? Make the best opposing case.
3. Test my reasoning. Does my logic hold up under scrutiny, or are there flaws or gasps I haven't considered?
4. Offer alternative perspectives. How else might this idea be framed, interpreted, or challenged?
The quality of my brainstorming sessions has skyrocketed. I’m getting deeper insights, catching blind spots early, and making much smarter decisions. It’s a total game-changer for anyone using AI for more than just simple tasks.
