AI-generated voices. Human judgment. Pie’s voice is generated from her own recordings with her consent; the AI co-host uses an AI-generated synthetic voice. Every episode is shaped and approved by Pie—the human behind AI with Pie.
What if the problem isn’t missing information, but two reasonable instructions that cannot both be followed?
Pie and her AI co-host explore the difference between adding context and making a decision. A real priority decision while building AI with Pie leads into an imagined report due on Friday—with figures that won’t be approved until Monday.
Together, they consider three questions: Can the system do the work? Does it have the relevant information? Can the instructions fit together? These are useful distinctions, not a universal method or a guarantee of correct results.
Three things to take into the next piece of work:
- Put the competing instructions next to each other.
- Make the choice explicit: what proceeds, what waits, and what no longer applies?
- Check the next proposed action against that decision.
What are we still doing because it used to make sense?
