This Ford exec put her family's Claude aide on a PIP. ChatGPT has taken over.

Claudette is on a achievement betterment plan.

Three months ago, Whitney Stefko Dover, a director and elder advise of guideline and lawful operations at Ford, told Business Insider that she had vibe coded her family a chief of staff using a bespoke Claude assistant named Claudette. The delegate turned her family's emails and calendars into a 4 a.m. briefing called the "Daily Dover." It was an first dawn email that organized academy schedules, childcare coverage, travel, birthdays, and family chores. It additionally drafted a helpful dawn content for her husband, Chris Dover.

Claudette "probably saved our marriage," she earlier said.

Now, there's caller competition for the chief of personnel function — but Claudette hasn't been completely fired. Yet.

"I'm not convinced that, like, next month, Claudette won't be the better chief of staff," Stefko Dover told Business Insider. "She's on a PIP."

Now, Gigi, a chief of personnel she built in ChatGPT Work, is the fresh-faced delegate parsing through the Dover family calendar. Stefko Dover says her husband, a longtime OpenAI user, encouraged her to try ChatGPT. An August Substack post from Silicon Valley project chief resolute A16z gave her another shove to try new agents.

"Turns out I have a lot of tool bias, which was unexpected," she stated concerning her reluctance to forsake Claudette following months of refining.

For her family, Gigi offered a improved interface, maintained additional continuity throughout projects, and produced stronger archetypal drafts of emails and PowerPoint presentations, Stefko Dover said. It additionally made additional proactive suggestions without waiting to be prompted.

And the toggle to ChatGPT was amazingly painless. Stefko Dover had earlier created a guide explaining how the aide worked and connected alongside her family's apps. She uploaded that matter into ChatGPT, bringing much of the old assistant's environment alongside it.

"I think benevolent of the key current is owning your context, right?" she said. "I think it is our job as the users to kind of own the environment layer."

Since the switch, Gigi has taken on equal additional responsibilities, Stefko Dover said. Every Friday, it says a market catalog shared alongside the family's nanny and fills online buying carts.

Stefko Dover motionless reviews and pays for the command herself, since it motionless needs several supervision.

"If I were to do that, I'd likely get, like, a $500 credit cardstock bounds so that there wasn't, like, Gigi purchasing diamonds on Rodeo Drive," she stated whenever asked if she'd provision her delegate purchasing power.

At one point, it suggested that her hubby dispatch flowers to his finest friend's spouse following mistaking her for a relative. A market haul advice included 12 boxes of bow-tie pasta.

Still, Stefko Dover stated it makes small contextual errors than Claudette and remembers additional concerning the distinct parts of her identity.

She told Business Insider that Gigi shouldn't anticipate to have the job forever.

"There's not a final destination here," she said. "The power of being a person is this changeless iteration."

She wasn't kidding. Since the interview, Stefko Dover stated she has added a third aide to the family's AI org chart: Ingrid, built alongside the buzzy, invite-only Instinct AI, which can transport out tasks through content messages and phone calls.

"I'm layering Ingrid on top of Gigi," she said. "Example: Instead of me sending Chris a content communication alongside to-dos, it can fair conversation to his delegate (since we've the two activated this capability), and his delegate can afterward go execute tasks on his behalf!"
