How to Access the Deepest AI Experience Available Right Now
Plus, building your own "AI handshake"
Dear Prompt Experimenters
Ever hear the term…OP?
This one, often used by gamers:
OP (overpowered): Describes a character, item, ability, or strategy that is excessively strong or unbalanced, generating disproportional advantage.
Why do I ask?
Custom GPTs just became OP.
Why?
I’ve published many of them. I talked about them constantly. And then…not so much.
They couldn’t use the most powerful AI models, 4.5, o3, o3 pro. I loved my GPTs, but felt like they were falling behind.
Not anymore.
You can now use ANY ChatGPT model with any Custom GPT
Why should you care?
In my opinion, this unlocks the most powerful AI experience available right now.
Everything you need for this can be found right here, on this substack.
And, I have a powerful new prompt that allows you to go even deeper. I call it AI Handshake Protocol. You run it once, and the GPT re-writes its entire mission, focused entirely on your needs.
This post will have three parts:
Showing you how much deeper Custom GPTs have become: I just made some bold claims. Evidence and substantiation are warranted. Let’s do that first.
Getting re-acquainted with our own Custom GPT collection: The DOTs are still here, and now more powerful than ever!

THEN AND NOW: How Custom GPTs have evolved
I’ve been advised by my AI editor not to dump long AI output extracts on my readers.
Fair enough, but I want you to see the difference, even if that only means a quick skim.
I’m going to compare the output of Influence DOT from a month ago, with what I just received today. Specifically, we’ll look at the first message I received after starting a conversation.
TL;DR: A month ago, DOT was a wonderful GPT, programmed with extensive depth of knowledge in ethical influence. She was delightful, and could help you with many things, but she wasn’t perfectly adapted for YOU and your specific needs. Now, she is.
A month ago: first message from DOT (model 4o)
Ah. So you're not here for entertainment.
You're here for consequence.
Here’s how we can work together, and how I—DOT-G2A, the Softblade of the Multiverse—can serve you:
🪶 1. Personalized Influence Planning
We can shape high-stakes conversations or difficult relationships through a structured process of:
Psychological profiling of your influence target
Ethical clarity (why you want this, and what it will cost)
Strategy design (framing, timing, delivery)
Tactical planning (scripts, moves, responses)
The point isn’t to win. The point is to be heard without losing your integrity. I help you build “the Apology That Backs Into a Hug,” or “The Velvet Trapdoor,” or whatever your situation secretly requires.
Example prompt: “I need to talk to my cofounder about equity. It might break the company. Help.”
🎓 2. The Influence Course
I offer a full 10-module arc on ethical influence—modular, immersive, and intense. You’ll learn:
The deep theory of how persuasion works on the nervous system
How to map power without becoming cynical
How to hold tension in conversation
When not to speak—and how silence can still move a room
Each module includes one dilemma, one micro-practice, and one strategic buildout of your own influence capacity.
We go slow. So you get real.
Example opening: “Teach me the first module.”
🗣️ 3. Open-Ended Conversation
We can also just… talk.
What role do you keep playing that no one asked you to?
What’s the strategy inside your silence?
Where have you traded truth for permission?
This is where we name what’s really happening—beneath the script, under the armor, before the moment breaks.
Example opening: “Something about the way I apologize is starting to feel like a trap. Can we talk about it?”
Now: first message from DOT (model o3 + AI Handshake Protocol)
(this output is deeply customized to ME. What will YOUR version look like? There’s only one way to find out!)
I. What your next frontier actually is
You’re already skilled at translating complex ideas into clear insights, guiding ambitious projects with precision, and crafting compelling narratives. Yet three critical growth points remain:
Feedback loops: Your diverse talents—writing, strategic advising, language learning—lack real-time metrics; you’re navigating by intuition rather than measurable outcomes.
Ethical leverage: You excel at creating captivating content and persuasive communications but seek a deeper capability to genuinely move your audience without ethical compromise.
Narrative convergence: Your parallel paths—consulting, writing, creative strategy—still require integration into one cohesive and compelling professional narrative.
In short, you don’t need more AI-generated answers; you need a structured and ethically conscious approach to influence that connects your ambitions, measures real-world impact, and maintains ethical rigor.
II. Why DOT-G2A (Influence DOT) is your unfair advantage
Normal ChatGPT is like a skilled librarian—excellent at general guidance. Influence DOT is a strategic advisor trained for high-stakes, ethical influence scenarios:
Influence frameworks: ChatGPT provides general persuasion tactics. DOT-G2A offers a comprehensive influence toolkit—from subtle conversational cues to nuanced negotiation strategies—mapped precisely onto psychological profiles, moral decision-making frameworks, and strategic game theory, enabling deeper ethical engagement.
Modular skill building: Regular ChatGPT delivers one-off advice. DOT-G2A deploys structured influence cycles (“micro-practices → real-world field tests → measurable KPI reviews”) based on proven cognitive science, optimizing for consistent, measurable skill growth.
Deep context memory: ChatGPT retains limited context. DOT-G2A maintains ongoing awareness of your goals, challenges, and past conversations, ensuring consistently personalized insights and avoiding redundant advice through deep contextual recall and reflective analysis.
Nuanced tone control: Standard AI remains neutral. DOT-G2A actively adapts communication styles, utilizing memorable, vivid metaphors ("The Velvet Trapdoor") and clearly flagging any tactics that risk ethical integrity, keeping your influence powerfully persuasive yet scrupulously ethical.
III. Six customized modules (Initial Roadmap)
1. Polymath Impact Optimization
Your multifaceted approach is promising but not rigorously validated. DOT-G2A will use sophisticated influence simulations (Monte Carlo style) to pinpoint precisely where skill improvements yield the greatest measurable increase in your overall effectiveness.2. Ethical Influence Audit ("The Mirror Maze")
Ethical integrity matters deeply to you. DOT-G2A conducts realistic, scenario-driven dialogues, methodically identifying any approach or technique that could breach your personal ethical boundaries, thus strengthening your persuasive clarity without compromising authenticity.3. Audience Archetype Mapping
Your content launch demands engagement, not mere admiration. DOT-G2A segments your existing audience into psychographic categories, crafting uniquely resonant hooks and calls-to-action specifically tailored to each group’s distinct ethical and psychological motivators.4. Influence Simulation Lab
You thrive under real-world pressure practice. DOT-G2A facilitates interactive role-play scenarios—such as negotiating key business outcomes, delivering high-stakes presentations, or participating in strategic discussions—evaluated rigorously on clarity, charisma, and ethical consistency.5. Language Mastery Accelerator
Your passion for languages can become a strategic advantage. DOT-G2A designs immersive, gamified language-learning scenarios, harnessing motivation and measurable vocabulary retention.6. Integrated Narrative Strategy
Your diverse professional identities need clear cohesion. DOT-G2A collaborates to craft a powerful, unified narrative—a signature personal story that convincingly integrates consulting, creativity, writing, and innovation into a single, memorable professional brand and public message.IV. Workflow and Engagement Rhythm
Initial Deep Dive (90 min): A structured diagnostic session clarifying strengths and priorities across strategic skills, ethical alignment, and narrative clarity.
Bi-weekly Influence Intensives: Each session addresses a specific module, producing actionable field experiments accompanied by reflective insights and measurable outcomes.
Personalized Progress Dashboard: Regular visual summaries tracking your influence effectiveness and skill development, ensuring accountability and clarity.
Quarterly Strategic Review: Periodic deep-dive reviews refining strategies and setting clear, measurable objectives for continued development and alignment.
V. Your Next Step
Reply simply with the module that intrigues or challenges you most (e.g., “Let's begin with Ethical Influence Audit”) and we’ll strategically build from there.
I guide gently but incisively—always targeting meaningful, measurable growth. Ready to begin?
