My CEO is an AI
Project Summary
Why are we doing this?
This project is an experiment in combining technology, creativity, and structure to simulate the development of a startup.
Our unique approach includes using ChatGPT as the CEO, allowing us to explore how AI can drive strategic decisions and guide a project from ideation to completion.
The goal is also to improve our technical and design skills while documenting every step for future reference and showcasing our abilities.
Global Objectives:
- Simulate a startup environment: Recreate realistic workflows, tools, and methodologies as if working in a real company.
- Leverage AI leadership: Use ChatGPT’s recommendations to guide the team’s decisions and ensure the project stays focused and efficient.
- Document everything: Build a detailed log of decisions, challenges, and progress to demonstrate our process and adaptability.
- Build a portfolio: Create a polished product while highlighting our ability to execute under structured guidance from an AI CEO.
Directives for the AI CEO
To maintain the integrity of the experiment and fully utilize the AI as a leader, we will follow these rules:
- No bias in the CEO’s role:
- The AI will provide objective guidance for the next steps based solely on the current state of the project.
- We will avoid leading questions or influencing the AI’s responses to ensure its role as an impartial decision-maker.
- Request-focused communication:
- We will primarily ask the AI CEO for strategic directions (e.g., "What should the next steps for the product be?").
- Operational decisions (e.g., coding specifics) will remain the team's responsibility.
- Iterative decision-making:
- The AI will be consulted regularly for feedback on progress and to adjust priorities.
- Its role is to ensure that every step aligns with the overarching goals of the project.
- Transparency in documentation:
- All recommendations from the AI CEO will be recorded and justified in the project documentation.
- Any deviations from its advice will also be noted, along with the reasoning.
