Hand AI the whole task and demand a finished result, not hints

My usual day is setting tasks and handing them out to AI, and it works through the details. I run many projects in parallel, like a manager: I see that an agent is stuck or has gone off track, I correct it, and it delivers an excellent result.
Demand a finished result, not a “do it yourself” instruction. Start simple: set up scheduled tasks in ChatGPT — the exchange rate, discounts, tickets, a news digest — so the system checks on its own and sends you the result.
Happening now. Right now I run dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of tasks in parallel in Codex, Claude Code and ChatGPT (No. 163, September 2026), and some of my letters — to doctors, to support, to government agencies — AI writes for me entirely (No. 157).
Where to start
Set up scheduled tasks in ChatGPT and hand it your letters and research in full.
Set tasks for AI the way a manager does: the whole result, while a person checks and corrects.
There is a limit: you can run twenty to thirty tasks in parallel, but the human brain is limited.
“Now, in my case, because of the huge number of projects, I don't know yet, I can run, say, twenty, thirty tasks in parallel, but on the whole a person's brain is limited, after all.”
When I said it
Quotes
“So yesterday I put a request to it: remind me-- in the morning send me, uh, a list, uh, the top ten AI-- company valuations, evaluations of the AI market and from NASDAQ. And in the morning it sent me a message to my email: here you go, your top ten export, right?”
“Because even now Codex and Claude, for me, for example, the main thing that drives me crazy, I say: “Don't stop, don't ask me questions, I trust you. Make the final decision yourselves.””
“I, for example, have letters where artificial intelligence writes for me one hundred percent. I just want to say, sometimes it writes to doctors, sometimes it writes to various support services, it even writes various requests that have to do with some government services.”
“I see how such things can change from day to day, because sometimes, I, for example, run dozens in parallel, sometimes even, I think, hundreds of chats or dozens of different tasks in Codex, in Claude Code, in parallel in ChatGPT.”
