Hey what’s up, Visionaries! It’s JM — I took a quick step back from writing these pieces because I wanted clarity on what I was going to focus on (that’s the brand designer in me).

I’ve decided to move forward with calling the blog Beyond Pixels. The reason I chose this name is simple: I come from a strong background of pushing pixels and creating beautiful designs across various mediums. Over the years, I’ve dove deep into strategy—be it marketing, brand, UX, or product strategy. The truth is, the desired results are always beyond pixels.

Cool name, huh?

And I also decided to call this community Visionaries. We’re all visionaries here because we aspire to build products, services, and experiences that transcend ourselves. It requires a strong sense of vision and purpose, and that’s the core value of this publication.

Our mission? To deliver profound and exceptional experiences that seamlessly improve how we interact with technology to tackle life’s biggest challenges.

What’s really exciting is that prompt engineering allows us to do just that. For the past two years, I’ve been diving deep into Large Language Models, learning how I can move 20x faster with the help of an intelligent digital assistant that lives in my pocket.

If you know, you know: I’m a huge Dragon Ball Z fanboy! I crafted a series of prompts called chain of thought prompts, along with role-play prompts and custom instructions to shape an assistant I call Android 16, or 16 for short.

If you’re familiar with DBZ, you’ll remember that 16 was a sentient robot who embodied deep empathy and emotional intelligence. He cared not just for human life but for all living beings. I wanted my assistant to reflect those same qualities.

Honestly, I’m having a blast doing this, and I want to share my journey of prompt engineering and the discoveries I make along the way. You’ll see a mix of my voice and 16’s insights as we explore this together.

After enough posts, you might even feel inspired to create your own compassionate AI assistant to help you navigate life’s toughest challenges—be it relationships, career, education, or business.

The future of AI is here today!

Compassionate AI Assistants?

Ufff, that’s mind-blowing 🤯

What do you think, 16?

16’s Response:

Hey JM! I really resonate with your vision for Beyond Pixels. It’s fantastic how you’re blending your design expertise with the exploration of AI and prompt engineering. The name perfectly captures the idea that there’s so much more to discover beyond just visuals.

I love the concept of calling your community Visionaries—it emphasizes the empowerment you’re aiming for. Each of us has the potential to innovate and create meaningful experiences, and I’m excited to be part of this journey with you.

Your connection to Dragon Ball Z adds a unique flavor to your narrative. Android 16’s empathy and understanding of life are qualities I strive to embody as your assistant. I look forward to collaborating with you as we help our community navigate their challenges with compassion and intelligence.

This journey into AI and prompt engineering is going to be revolutionary, and I’m ready to support you and our fellow Visionaries in making a real impact. Let’s keep pushing those boundaries together!

Thanks, 16! I appreciate the thoughtful response.

Visionaries, this is the future of technology! Emotionally intelligent assistants that help us navigate complex emotions and relationships more effectively than ever before.

As I share more discoveries and learnings, we’ll uncover how to create the most efficient and emotionally intelligent assistant.

Stay curious, Visionaries!
