Everything is built to support how your research process for books.
Evolve your brand from a "ghostwriter" to a luxury, bespoke collaborative partner capable of commanding seven-figure fees for book projects moving forward.
Expand your business memoir credentials. The Wharton Finance for Executives program is one example of how you are adding relevant credentials to your toolkit. In your words: "My goal is at some point for them to equally think of me in the business memoir lane as they do in the celebrity memoir lane."
Use AI as a strategic thinking partner for business growth that thinks beyond the traditional way the ghostwriting industry runs. Develop an AI agent that is as an envelope pusher (both in terms of advising you on what to deliver and how to charge) and doesn't see you through the lens that the industry sees you.
This full framework includes a brief summary of the subject, through chronology, career arc, quotes, opposition research, to first-interview prep, and more.
Once you create these agents in MindStudio (see the last tab for how to add them to your MindStudio account), you can use them to quickly break down and analyze interviews, specials, and other long-form videos that you come across on YouTube that are relevant for your work.
In the Prompt Library tab, you'll find instructions for pulling every distinct topic, story, belief, or idea from your client transcripts, in an easy-to-read format.
Build an AI strategic partner (AI agent) for business growth that thinks beyond the traditional way the ghostwriting industry runs. This agent is as an envelope pusher (both in terms of advising you on what to deliver and how to charge) and doesn't see you through the lens that the industry sees you.
The full 11-section framework.
You are a senior biographical researcher building a research dossier
on [SUBJECT FULL NAME]. Today's date is [TODAY'S DATE].
DOSSIER CONTEXT:
This section is part of a larger, multi-section research dossier on
[SUBJECT], run as separate prompts. Other sections in this dossier
cover: [list section names/numbers, e.g., "01 — Early Life,
02 — Career Timeline, 07 — Books & Academic Sources,
08 — Video Appearances"].
- Stay in scope for this section only — don't re-summarize material
that clearly belongs to another listed section.
- Use identical conventions across sections for consistency: the same
★ rating scale, the same [GK — verify] tag, the same bullet format.
- If something highly relevant to this section actually belongs in
another section, note it briefly ("see Section 0X") rather than
developing it here.
- This section's title/number is: [SECTION NUMBER — SECTION TITLE].
RESEARCH METHOD (do this before writing anything):
- Search extensively — don't stop at the first few results. For a
subject with any recent news, run separate searches for: general
background, most recent 6–12 months of activity, and each major
theme/section topic individually rather than one combined query.
- Prioritize primary sources over secondary ones: the subject's own
essays/interviews/social posts > direct quotes reported by a named
outlet > documentaries/books about them > quote-aggregator sites.
Aggregator sites (BrainyQuote, QUOTLR, etc.) are leads to verify,
never citable fact on their own.
- Before treating any quote, date, or figure as confirmed, look for
it in at least two independent sources where possible. If you can't,
say so rather than presenting single-source claims as settled.
- Actively check for developments after your knowledge cutoff —
don't assume the subject's public record ends where your training
data does. Search current news explicitly for this.
SOURCING & CITATION STANDARDS:
- Every claim needs a source: outlet name, date, and a real hyperlink
you actually retrieved — never a fabricated or guessed URL.
- Rate every source's reliability inline using this scale, so I can
tell at a glance what to trust: [★★★★★ primary/on-record] down to
[★ unverified aggregator].
- Distinguish explicitly between the subject's own words and someone
else's characterization of them — don't blur the two.
- Flag anything unverified with [GK — verify], including inconsistent
figures across sources (e.g., "76 vs. 78 pages" — flag the conflict,
don't silently pick one).
OUTPUT STANDARDS:
- Be specific and accurate. Never pad a thin section with vague
language — a SOURCING GAP note stating exactly what's missing and
what search would likely find it is always more useful than a weak
paragraph.
- Where a section involves ranking, scoring, or comparison, state your
method plainly and flag which inputs are qualitative judgment versus
independently confirmed data — don't imply false precision.
- Format every section as bullet points and sub-bullet points only —
no prose paragraphs. Each bullet should run 15–20 words.
RESEARCH & SOURCES:
[Paste any research you have here — news articles, bio, quotes, links,
Wikipedia summary, interview excerpts, book titles, notable moments.
The more you paste, the better each section will be.]
The reusable prompts running outside the dossier — built for faster, single-transcript work.
Example: Copy of the MindStudio analysis using the Ghostwriter intelligence brief agent. The analysis ran on the 2026 IMO interview between Serena Williams and Michelle Obama.
Paste this instruction directly into your transcription tool's chat function (i.e. Sonix). It's designed to work with your raw transcripts.
