Swetlana AIHow to .md-fy Yourself
Forget system prompts and custom GPTs. There is something way simpler and way more powerful you can use to upgrade your work with AI: .md files.
TLDR: You can externalize elements of your thinking process, decision making, taste, knowledge, and direction, by just writing a few .md files.
This method goes way beyond existing frameworks, and is at the same time simpler than all of them.
I call it mdfication.
Imagine a folder with a few .md files. Yes, that’s all it takes.I came up with this new thing and I feel it could be groundbreaking for a lot of people.
Watch the video below for further explanation.
[If you’re thrilled by this idea and need help structuring your “mind”, reach out. I will soon have an offering for you.]
mdfication: Premise
For most of history, the mind was something to understand.
Now it can be something to structure, replicate*, and make operational outside your head.
*“replicating the mind” may sound lofty. I mean partially replicate.
How to “md-fy” Yourself
Turns out it’s pretty easy to set up a digital version of yourself.
You just need to provide AI with some info.
Example of hobbies.mdNow that might sound trivial at first, but in reality it’s the single most powerful move you can make.
Think of it this way: most people use AI as a search engine or a ghostwriter for one-off tasks.
At most, they’ll use a long single chat thread in ChatGPT to keep a conversation going.
But when you create small amounts of text about your thoughts, hobbies, life goals, ideas, and how you solve problems, you’re doing something much bigger.
You’re giving the AI context.
And that’s not nearly all.
Once you have some text files with info, you can use it with any LLM, in an unlimited amount of sessions.
A practical and free way to do this is to use Gemini and Google Drive. You can connect Gemini to the Google Workspace and allow it to access your docs.
Just enable the access, drag your text files into your Google Drive, and now Gemini has memory about you.
To be on the safe side, I recommend using a separate Google account for this type of stuff.
.md Files
Some of you might have heard of the .md file format.
If you haven’t, it’s simple markdown, like something between txt and html format.
It’s very simple and easy to create an .md file.
Just use hashtags (##) in front of your subheadings and be as concise as you can.
Another example of an .md fileHow to Create Your Brain.md
Here’s what you can do specifically in your case, regardless of who you are:
- Write down basic things about yourself.
- Add whatever you want about yourself.
- If you have any ambitions in life, write them down.
- If you have hobbies write them down.
Zoom out, and really think about what matters to you.
You can identify things that matter to you by looking at how much time you spend thinking about different things.
Look at your browser bookmarks.
Look at the files on your computer.
If you can describe your thinking style, do it.
Don’t overthink it.
You can always edit the file later.
Now save your text file as an .md file.
You can do this from your text editor.
You can create several .md files and put them in a folder.
In our previous example I already pointed out that this works great with Gemini and Google Drive. You can use other LLMs too. But I’m not gonna get into too much detail this time.
Upload your folder to Google Drive.
Now when you chat with Gemini, you can ask it to access those files.
Now that the AI has access to your files, the sky is the limit.
content.md
This “personal operating system” is even more impressive when it’s used by content creators.
If you have a blog or Youtube channel about any particular topic, you can build a content operating system that makes your creative process dramatically faster and more coherent.
Imagine:
- a channel.md file that describes your audience, your tone, your niche, your upload schedule, and the core themes you keep coming back to.
- a video_ideas.md that captures every half-formed thought, every comment from a viewer that sparked something, every trend you noticed but haven’t acted on yet.
- an uploaded_content.md that logs every video or post you’ve published — the title, the angle, the performance, what worked, what didn’t.
Now when you ask the AI “what should I make a video about this week?”, it doesn’t give you a generic list of trending topics.
- It knows you already covered beginner composting in March. It knows your audience skews toward people in small apartments.
- It knows your last three videos were quite technical and your viewers have been asking for something lighter.
- It suggests something specific, something that fits your channel — not just whatever is ranking well on YouTube right now.
As you can see, this small folder with just a few files is a game changer.
And the best thing is, you don’t even need a paid subscription to use this simple method.
