Some of us have a favourite chat thread we keep coming back to, adding a bit more context every time we open it. It feels efficient, like you're building up a work buddy who really knows your stuff. But every extra message quietly chips away at how reliable that thread becomes, and by the time you notice, it's surprisingly hard to pull it back. 

Knowing when to walk away from a chat, and how to take your best thinking with you, is one of the most useful AI habits you can build. 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I unpack why long chat threads lose their way and how to move your work into a fresh chat without leaving the good stuff behind. 

What you'll learn: 
The point in a chat thread where AI becomes more likely to hallucinate 
How to think about the lifespan of a chat thread 
The simple way to carry your work into a new chat, and where it falls short 
What a strong handoff brief includes, and why its opening lines matter 
The signs it's time to start fresh, even before AI goes off track 
Practical AI tools for productivity and focus 
Real-world AI workflows used by high performers 
How to use AI at work without burning out 
Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load
