Three things that quietly break AI-assisted coding workflows:
1. Feeding the model an outdated version of a file instead of the current one
2. Asking it to reason about code it can't actually see (referenced but not included)
3. Accepting output without re-reading it, because it "looked right" at a glance
None of these are model problems. They're workflow problems that happen to surface as bad AI output. Fixing the workflow usually does more than switching models.
Of course, AI now can do more than basic understanding of rough sketches or shapes, it is far beyond what the public frontier AI models we are able to access can even do, we are far too limited from the use if its full power, no complaints from me though, we should strive to support AI safety-measures to avoid catastrophe.
ChatGPT just added a new sketch feature to its new Images 2.5 model, so I tried it with extremely simple sketches and short prompts to see how well it could understand my intention.
Design and build modern websites and AI-powered workflows that automate repetitive business processes, improve customer experiences, and streamline operations.
I used to think being a Virtual Assistant was mostly about staying organized, answering emails, and keeping a calendar under control.
Then I started discovering how much AI could actually change the way I work.
Not to replace the human part of the job — but to make the repetitive parts lighter.
To research faster.
To organize better.
To create without starting from zero every time.
So I made myself this little 2026 AI cheat sheet — a collection of tools for different parts of VA work: research, writing, meetings, scheduling, presentations, design, spreadsheets, and more.
And honestly… I’m still discovering new ones. 😂
The goal isn’t to use every AI tool out there.
It’s to find the few that actually make your workflow easier.
Because working smarter doesn’t always mean doing more.
Sometimes it simply means having the right tool when you need it. ✨
