"Don't make the AI think like you, think like the AI" - I like it. Adapting to new tools has always worked.

We didn't make stones that matched our hands, we just used them to break open nuts and coconuts to eat what's inside.

I like your thinking mate, appreciated this blog a lot👏

Glad you like it! Another way to phrase it, that has always been very helpful to me wiith prompting in general is "put yourself in the shoes of the AI".

Great post! I had a hunch that this would work well, but it's nice to see it in practice.

Inoticed you return JSON in your MCP responses, I was under the impression AI Agents work better with formatted text instead of JSON, is this a deliberate choice?

I haven't really noticed a difference in quality, but I haven't done in depth testing either!

It would be interesting to test, but I think the only proper way to do it would be with some proper evaluations
