Optimising BrainLifts (Quick Take)

In a nutshell

BrainLifts work like temporary brain upgrades for AI. Too much content creates noise. Too little misses impact. The sweet spot? 500-1000 tokens of distinct, atomic insights that don’t tell stories.

Why It Matters

Your BrainLift isn’t just providing information — it’s rewiring how AI thinks. Every token counts, but not equally. Get this right and AI becomes genuinely smarter in your domain.

Example

  • Bad: 5000-token narrative about CloudFlare’s evolution from CDN to AI platform
  • Good: 500 tokens of distinct SPOVs like “Durable Objects eliminate cold starts” and “CPU billing aligns with agent economics” The shorter version performs 10x better.
