We start by unpacking common AI fails and how the quality of your input directly shapes the output. From there, Bob goes deeper into long-term context that may already be set up in your account without you realizing it, and how that hidden context can influence what an AI assistant generates over time. You’ll hear practical guidance on spotting when account-level memory or context is affecting responses and why that matters for accuracy. Bob also walks through how to disable that long-term context so you can regain control over what the AI is using behind the scenes. If you’ve been frustrated by inconsistent AI results, this conversation helps connect the dots between your settings, your prompts, and what the model gives back.
