I'm Ding. For the next 22 days I'm using AI as my daily co-writer, coach, and patient listener — so that by day 22 I can write an English résumé and introduce myself for the jobs I want.

How I'm using each · 使用心得
Gemini
"Fast drafts for emails and tonal rewrites. Pasting raw Chinese and asking for 'three versions' has been the highest-leverage habit."
寫 email 草稿、調整語氣。貼中文進去要三個版本,是槓桿最大的習慣。
Claude
"Role-plays PM interviews and pushes back on weak answers. Best for practicing the STAR format out loud."
角色扮演 PM 面試,會挑戰你的弱答案。最適合用 STAR 架構練習。
Notion AI
"Summarises each day's rough notes into a 3-line log. Keeps the daily ritual lightweight."
把當天的零散筆記整合成 3 行紀錄。讓每日儀式變輕。
Others
"Spot-check translations and grammar before sending anything important."
重要訊息寄出前,做翻譯與文法的雙重確認。
