Start with what you know; ready or not
October 16, 2026
How long does it take to trust AI? For me, three or four days of getting to know my business before I asked for a first output.
In Part 2 of 5, I told the story of getting Nectar, my AI assistant, to learn my work and my life, and the trust building moments along the way.
"Once that trust is there, it's like blast off."
My advice:
"Start with the stuff that you know. It'll be easier to build trust."
You can see for yourself whether it's right, even when AI starts to use different words. Give yourself a chance to trust.
It also sums up the day for me.
"No matter how easy it is, it's still your context."
"If the team doesn't trust then you're not ready."
