✦ AI Mom Hacks
Your Mom Brain
Profile
AI gives generic answers because it knows nothing about you. This tool changes that. In about 15 minutes, you'll build a personal context document that trains ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to actually think like you.
What you'll walk away with:
A ready-to-copy AI prompt built from your real answers — paste it into any AI tool and it immediately knows who you are.
4 real mom use cases showing exactly what to ask AI once it knows your profile — meal planning, hard texts, scheduling, decision-making.
A downloadable PDF version of your profile to save on your computer, update anytime, and use across any platform.
⏱ Time to complete: About 15 minutes. You can stop and come back anytime — your answers stay in this browser tab as long as you don't close it.
1
About You
Who are you right now?
Why this matters: AI has no context about your life unless you give it some. These basics are the foundation everything else builds on. Don't overthink it — just be honest about where you are right now.
What do you want AI to call you?
What's your current stage of life?
Pick all that feel true right now.
Describe your day-to-day life in a few sentences.
Think: what does a typical Tuesday actually look like? What are you managing, juggling, or barely keeping up with?
Example: "I work from home 4 days a week, have two kids in elementary school, and I'm the default parent for everything — school pickups, meals, appointments, the mental load."
What's your biggest time constraint right now?
2
Communication Style
How do you want AI to talk to you?
Why this matters: Without this, every AI response sounds the same — stiff, overly formal, full of disclaimers. This tells AI how to actually communicate with you so it sounds like a helpful friend, not a corporate manual.
When AI responds to you, the tone should be:
Pick the ones that feel right.
What should AI never do when responding to you?
Pick everything that annoys you about generic AI responses.
How long should responses be?
Short and punchy
Medium with detail
Thorough and full
Depends on the task
When you ask AI to write something for you (a text, email, message), what's your natural voice like?
Example: "I'm direct and get to the point. I'm warm but not fluffy. I use real words, not corporate speak."
3
Priorities & Stressors
What's actually weighing on you?
Why this matters: This is the section that makes AI feel like it actually gets your life. When it knows what you're prioritizing and what's stressing you out, its suggestions stop missing the mark.
When AI gives you recommendations, it should always prioritize:
What's taking up the most mental energy in your life right now?
Example: "Figuring out how to manage everything on my own since my separation. The mental load of the household falls entirely on me."
What do you wish you had more help with?
Example: "Meal planning. I spend more time thinking about what to make for dinner than actually making it."
4
Family & Home Life
Tell AI about your family.
Why this matters: AI can't help you plan meals, manage schedules, or think through family decisions without knowing who's actually in the picture. Share only what's helpful — you're in control of this.
Quick notes about your kids
Ages, anything AI should factor in — personalities, schedules, needs. Keep it brief.
Example: "Two girls, ages 7 and 10. The 7-year-old is a very picky eater. Both are in school 8–3."
Food and meal planning — what does AI need to know?
Pick everything that applies.
Any specific foods to avoid or dietary details AI should know?
Anything else about your home life that would help AI give you better answers?
Schedule constraints, living situation, anything that affects how you plan or make decisions.
5
Goals & AI Preferences
Where are you headed, and how do you want AI to help?
Why this matters: This is what separates a useful AI from a great one. When AI knows what you're working toward, it stops giving you advice that moves in the wrong direction.
What's your most important goal right now?
Personal, financial, professional — whatever's actually driving you.
Example: "Getting my finances stable after my divorce. I'm trying to build a 3-month emergency fund by the end of the year."
I use AI most often to help me with:
When you come to AI feeling overwhelmed, what do you actually want it to do?
Help me prioritize
One simple first step
Ask me questions first
Just start helping
Anything AI should never suggest or include in its answers?
Think about things that don't fit your life, your budget, your values, or your situation.
Example: "Don't suggest meal prep — it never works for me. Don't suggest solutions that require a lot of money upfront."
Your Profile is Ready
You get two versions. The short one fits ChatGPT's account-memory limit. The full one goes in your project. Same you, two homes.
1 · Short version — for your account memory
Paste this into ChatGPT Custom Instructions, Claude's General instructions, or Gemini Personal context. Sized to fit.
2 · Full version — for your project
Add this as a file or knowledge in your ChatGPT/Claude project or your Gemini Gem. No length limit there.
A clean markdown file, the best format to add as project knowledge or a Gem file.
In the window that opens, choose “Save as PDF” as the destination.
Where each version goes
Two layers. The short version powers every chat. The project is your dedicated home base, and where your AI Mom Hacks project templates plug in later.
Layer 1 · Account memory (paste the SHORT version)
ChatGPT (free plan works)
Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions. Paste your short version, and fill in your name and the “what should ChatGPT know about you” fields while you're there. Then turn Memory on under Personalization.
Claude (claude.ai)
Click your initials, Settings → General → general instructions. Paste your short version there (not Memory — that's for importing from other tools and it updates on its own). Then turn Memory on under Settings → Capabilities.
Gemini
Open Settings → Personal context and add your short version if your plan has it. No Personal context yet? Skip to Layer 2.
Test it: open a brand-new chat and type “Help me plan dinner tonight.” If it knows your kids and your schedule, you're in.
Whichever tool you choose, turn its Memory on too. It keeps learning you over time, on top of your profile.
Layer 2 · Your project or Gem
It's a little different in each tool. ChatGPT and Claude projects just take your full version (the .md file). A Gemini Gem also needs instructions, so your short version goes there too.
ChatGPT — Project
There's no instructions box in a Project. New Project → name it → upload your .md file under Sources.
Claude — Project
New Project → name it → upload your .md file into the project files. That's all it needs.
Gemini — Gem
A Gem requires instructions, so this matters here. Gems → New Gem → name it → paste your short version as the instructions → attach your .md file under Knowledge → Save.
Now let's put it to work.
These prompts are built from your answers. Copy any of them and paste them into AI right after your profile — no filling in brackets required.
