While you're still transcribing conversations into transcripts and manually pasting them into Google Docs, in the eyes of AI experts, you're like participating in modern video conferences with a "rotary phone"—outdated.

As AI assistants and automation tools invade every corner of digital life by 2026, a new workplace identity called "AI Native" is emerging. To help modern workers keep up with this wave, foreign media has summarized 7 ultimate secrets to teach you how to maximize AI skills and demonstrate "non-human" levels of productivity.

Tip 1-2: Abandon old-fashioned robots, activate "Voice and Agent Army"

Still asking questions to a single chatbot? That's so 2022! The article points out that the era now belongs to automation tools like Codex or Anthropic's Cowork. Instead of wasting time tuning a single dialogue box, directly command a fleet of AI agents that can take over your computer and automatically complete tasks.

Additionally, Sam Liang, CEO of transcription service Otter, emphasizes: "Voice will become the mainstream in the future because people hate typing." Experts suggest using your phone's voice to quickly input prompts, then swiftly browse the text output with your eyes, greatly increasing human-AI interaction speed.

Tip 3-5: Feed massive data, create your own "AI Tone Avatar"

While AI agents are powerful, if you don't provide clear context and boundaries, they can sometimes become disaster generators (there have been cases where AI agents accidentally deleted entire startup databases). To prevent this, you need to do the following three steps:

• Create a dedicated sandbox: Spend an afternoon researching AI permissions and set up a dedicated folder that only AI can access.
• Selflessly feed data: Granola's chief of staff, Jo Barrow, revealed she built a dedicated "personal operating system folder" for AI to reside in. When you give AI your work background data, you won't need to explain everything from scratch each time you ask (but avoid highly confidential info).
• Create your impersonator: Upload past Slack messages, emails, and social media posts to AI. Instead of repeatedly asking AI to "be warmer" or "less formal," let it learn your unique tone and rhythm directly.

Tip 6-7: Share knowledge engines, master legitimate "jailbreak" techniques

The era of working solo is over. If team members in the office (or even at home) can import meeting notes and daily data into the same shared AI tools, they can break down information silos and create a powerful "team knowledge engine."

Finally, although AI in 2026 is very smart, it can sometimes trigger overly strict safety barriers. At this point, you'll need some "jailbreak" negotiation skills. Experts share that if AI refuses to provide certain sensitive lists (like contact info of specific experts), try opening a new conversation and clearly state your "legitimate and reasonable use case" (for example, for news reporting rather than harassment). Usually, this can successfully bypass restrictions and get you the answers you need.
