The Prompt That Helps You Reset Your Mind for 2026
Turn journaling into a calm, repeatable system instead of a blank page.
AI MARKET PULSE
AI Agents Are Moving From Experiments to Coworkers
AI adoption is shifting from curiosity to core infrastructure. Venture investors across enterprise software agree that 2026 marks the inflection point when companies stop testing models and start deploying agents at scale. According to VCs, knowledge workers will have at least one named AI agent embedded in workflows. These systems don’t just assist; they execute, monitor, and coordinate work at marginal cost. As budgets expand and confidence rises, AI agents are expected to handle a growing share of analysis, operations, and decision-making. The fastest-growing companies aren’t model builders, but operators who identify workflow gaps created by GenAI adoption and relentlessly ship production-ready tools. This marks a structural change: enterprises are rearchitecting teams around software labor, not human-only headcount.
So what does that mean for you?
Treating AI as a side tool is the risk. The same shift transforming enterprises creates asymmetric upside for individuals who act early:
• Build AI-first workflows others can’t easily replicate
• Package agent-driven systems into products or services
• Replace manual coordination with autonomous execution
• Position yourself as the operator of leverage, not the labor
AI agents compress organizational complexity the way cloud compressed infrastructure. Those who learn to deploy, manage, and monetize them early scale with adoption; those who wait compete against software coworkers that never sleep. The transition isn’t distant — it’s unfolding now, rewarding builders who align.

WORKFLOW BUILDER
The 5-Day "Trust-to-Sale" Sequence
Goal: Turn cold subscribers into hot leads by automating a 5-day educational "mini-course" that delivers value and naturally transitions into a pitch for your paid offer.
Steps:
Architect the Curriculum
Define the "one big problem" your course solves and map out the 5-day transformation.
Prompt ChatGPT: Act as a digital marketing expert. Map out a 5-day email mini-course for [Target Audience] that solves [Specific Problem]. Provide a catchy name for the course and a one-sentence "learning goal" for each day.
➡️ Next: Review the outline and ensure the Day 5 lesson aligns perfectly with your paid product.
Script the Daily Lessons
Write engaging, story-driven emails that educate without overwhelming the reader.
Prompt ChatGPT: Write the first 2 emails for my mini-course "[Course Name]." Email 1 should be a warm welcome that sets expectations. Email 2 should teach the first core lesson. Keep the tone conversational and the formatting easy to skim.
➡️ Next: Repeat this for Emails 3 and 4, ensuring each ends with a "teaser" for the next day.
Engineer the "Soft Pitch"
Transition from teaching to selling by showing why your paid offer is the logical next step.
Prompt ChatGPT: Write Email 5 of the sequence. It should summarize the key wins from the last 4 days and then introduce [Your Product Name] as the ultimate tool to achieve [Desired Outcome]. Include a clear call to action and a "PS" that creates urgency.
➡️ Next: Save all 5 drafts into a dedicated folder or Notion page.
Build the Automation (GetResponse)
Set up the digital pipes so your course runs on autopilot for every new subscriber.
➡️ Next: Open GetResponse, go to "Automation," and use the "Welcome New Contacts" template to drag-and-drop your 5 emails with 24-hour delays between them.
Launch the Opt-in Page
Create a simple landing page that sells the value of the free course to get people on your list.
Prompt ChatGPT: Write a high-converting headline and 3 benefit-driven bullet points for a landing page that encourages people to sign up for my free "[Course Name]" email course.
➡️ Next: Use the GetResponse landing page builder to go live and start sharing your link on social media.
Pro Tip (Upgrade):
Use ManyChat to automate the "trigger" for your course. Set it up so whenever someone comments "COURSE" on your Instagram post, they automatically receive a DM with the link to your opt-in page.

AI SPOTLIGHT
Meta’s AI Strategy Is About Control — Not Just Capability
Meta’s acquisition of Manus signals a clear shift in how big tech is approaching AI: speed and execution matter more than novelty. Manus isn’t a research lab or a flashy model release — it’s an operational AI agent company already generating over $100M in annualized revenue within months of launch. Its agents handle real work: research, coding, analysis, and autonomous task execution. Meta isn’t buying potential; it’s buying proven deployment at scale. This fits a broader pattern as Meta aggressively acquires talent and tooling to hardwire AI agents directly into consumer and enterprise products. The goal isn’t experimentation — it’s owning the layer where AI actually replaces work.
Key Takeaways:
• Meta is prioritizing agent execution over model breakthroughs
• Manus proves AI agents can scale revenue extremely fast
• Big tech is buying deployed systems, not just talent
• AI agents are moving directly into consumer and enterprise stacks
• Control of workflow automation is becoming strategic infrastructure
My Take:
This isn’t about who trains the smartest model — it’s about who owns the agents doing the work. Meta understands that AI value compounds at the deployment layer, not the benchmark layer. Companies that control agents embedded in workflows control leverage, data, and distribution. The next AI winners won’t just build intelligence — they’ll operationalize it everywhere.
