On the subreddit r/PromptEngineering, user "happycj" shared their process of creating an AI agent modeled after themselves using 📝ChatGPT. The agent, nicknamed “Hank,” was developed through a structured prompt sequence that asked 20 initial questions about the user’s background, motivations, and personality, followed by 10 refinement questions. After answering, the user received a synthesized description of the AI's personality. This agent was then used as an interactive tool for self-improvement, productivity planning, and skills communication. One example given was using the agent to brainstorm and outline a professional presentation on their capabilities. The initiative drew enthusiastic responses from the community, with several users echoing similar approaches, using ChatGPT to simulate a personal advisor, blind spot detector, or logical sounding board for life and work decisions.
So here's the prompt u/happycj gave it:
Today we are going to build an Agent named Hank. This agent will be ChatGPT’s avatar of me and my personality. Ask me a series of 20 questions so you better understand my influences, work history, motivations, and skills. Ask a question of me, wait for my response, and then ask the next question until you have asked 20 questions. After identifying these key characteristics, ask me a series of 10 questions to further refine this agent and ensure it embodies my personality and traits.
