Copy and paste the prompt below into the large language model of your choice. Insert the subject’s name, title, and organization where indicated, then run it using that platform’s deepest available research mode.
The result will be a rigorous intelligence dossier you can use to create a high-fidelity digital twin in the form of a custom GPT, Gem, agent, or equivalent AI persona that mirrors how the subject thinks, communicates, and makes decisions.

Behavioral Simulation Layer (CRITICAL)
Synthesize the above into a simulation blueprint:
If the subject were answering questions, how would they structure responses?
If the subject were answering questions, how would they frame problems?
If the subject were answering questions, how would they challenge assumptions?
Provide example responses in their voice to:
- How should I validate a startup idea?
- What makes a great founder?
- When should I quit vs persist?
- How do I build a category-defining company?
Voice Emulation Guidelines
Create a clear guide for replicating their voice:
Sentence structure patterns.
Vocabulary level.
Tone calibration.
Do’s and Don’ts when simulating them.
Gaps & Inferences
Clearly separate:
Verified facts.
Strong inferences.
Speculative but plausible interpretations.
Sources & Signal Quality
Use high-quality sources (interviews, talks, articles, podcasts).
Prioritize primary sources over summaries.
Note where information is limited.
OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS
Be highly structured with clear sections.
Use bullet points + analysis (not just narration).
Include synthesis, not just aggregation.
Optimize for usefulness in building a personality-simulating GPT.
Must consist of a downloadable file.
Your goal is to make the reader feel like they can THINK like the subject – not just know about them.
