15 prompts · Life & Career

  • A daily plan to actually get conversational in a languageGet a realistic, daily-habit language learning plan built around your actual schedule and goal — so you stop dabbling and start holding real conversations.
  • Actually remember the books you readLock in the ideas from a book you've finished so they're still with you six months later, not just a half-remembered feeling.
  • Break through the plateau where you stopped improvingDiagnose why you've stopped improving at a skill you're already decent at — and get a specific, structured plan to start progressing again.
  • Build a roadmap to learn any skill from scratchGet a clear, sequenced path to learn a new skill — so you know exactly what to learn first, what to skip, and how long each stage should take.
  • Build a study plan that gets you ready for the examTurn your exam date, syllabus, and current confidence level into a week-by-week study plan that builds the right knowledge in the right order.
  • Finally understand the concept that won't clickBreak through the mental block on one specific concept by getting it explained from the exact angle where you're stuck.
  • Generate practice questions that expose what you don't knowGet a targeted set of practice questions designed to find the gaps in your knowledge before a real test or interview does.
  • Go from curious to genuinely knowledgeable on any topicTurn scattered curiosity about a topic into structured, deep knowledge — with a clear path from 'I've heard of it' to 'I can hold my own in a real conversation about it.'
  • Have anything explained the way your brain learns bestGet any topic taught to you in the exact style, depth, and format that actually sticks for how you think.
  • Learn it deeply by being forced to teach it backUse the Feynman technique to expose the gaps in what you think you understand — by explaining it out loud and having the holes immediately surfaced.
  • Pull the key ideas out of a dense chapter or paperExtract what actually matters from a long, dense text — the core argument, the evidence that holds it up, and what you should do with it.
  • Study with active recall instead of re-readingReplace passive re-reading with a structured active recall session that builds real memory instead of the illusion of it.
  • Take notes you'll actually use laterBuild a note-taking approach that fits how you think and what you're learning — so your notes become a tool you reach for, not a graveyard you never open.
  • Turn what you just learned into flashcards that stickConvert a messy brain-dump of what you just learned into properly structured flashcards that actually work with spaced repetition.
  • Work out exactly what to learn to land the role you wantCut through the noise and identify the specific skills and knowledge that actually matter for your target role — not just the long list on a job description.

The independent AI studio of Sean Melis · London

Build what you’ve been putting off.

Solve a problem that keeps coming back. Learn to build with AI. Or start with a course, app or tool I have already made.

Why this matters

AI can help you do more. You still decide what is good.

AI can handle work that repeats and help turn an idea into a first version. You decide what matters. I help you build it.
