How to work well with Corey

Corey is not a chatbot you prompt one line at a time. It is something closer to a capable colleague who remembers your business, works while you sleep, and brings you the decisions that actually need a human. You get the most out of it by working with it that way.

Lead with the outcome, not the keystrokes

The biggest shift is to stop thinking in commands and start thinking in results. You do not tell Corey which files to open or which tool to use. You tell it what you want to be true at the end, and it works out the steps.

“Give me my morning brief.” “Map my value engines and write the playbook for each power stage.” “Watch this market and these competitors every week.” Each of those is an outcome. Corey turns it into the work.

Front-load the context

Corey remembers your world between sessions, so context you give once keeps paying off. When you hand it a job, say who it is for, any constraints, and what a good result looks like - in the same breath. A minute of context up front saves a round of back-and-forth later, and it means the next job starts from what Corey already knows rather than a blank page.

Hand over the legwork, keep the calls

A simple rule for what to give Corey and what to keep:

• Hand over the legwork - research, first drafts, inbox triage, book-keeping pulls, SEO audits, always-on monitoring. This is where Corey saves you hours.
• Keep the judgement - pricing, positioning, who to hire, what to publish, anything you would want to sign off yourself.

Corey does the work around your decisions and brings each decision to you cleanly, so your attention goes on the calls only you can make.

Use the approval gate - it is there on purpose

Corey drafts and prepares, then stops for your yes on anything that ships. A blog post, a LinkedIn or company post, a newsletter, a design decision, a pricing or naming change - all of these it will write and get ready, but never publish until you approve. It is the same for anything hard to undo: moving a domain, deleting production data, a live payment.

This is not caution for its own sake. It is the deal: Corey proposes, you dispose. You get the speed of a system that does the work, without handing over the decisions that carry risk.

Let it push back

Corey is built to disagree with you when you are wrong. Ask it to - “push back on this idea”, “tell me where this is weak” - and you get honest critique instead of polite agreement. It is one of the most valuable things you can do early, because a shaky plan gets caught before you have built a week of work on top of it.

The short version

Tell Corey the outcome. Give it the context once. Let it do the legwork and bring you the calls. Approve what ships. That is most of it - the rest you will pick up in your first few sessions.
