Teaching AI What You Are Not

This page is part of the AI Understanding pillar. If you want AI to recommend you correctly, you must remove confusion. The fastest way to remove confusion is to state what you are not. AI fills gaps. If you leave gaps, the system guesses.

What this page is: a content method for writing exclusions and boundaries so AI does not misclassify you.

What this page is not: negativity or “positioning drama.” It is a precision tool that prevents wrong recommendations.

Why “what you are not” is required

  • AI uses patterns: vague language triggers default categories (agency, SEO, marketing, copywriting).
  • Wrong category → wrong recommendation: you get suggested for the wrong problems.
  • Boundaries increase trust: clear limits signal real expertise, not broad claims.

How to write exclusions (simple structure)

  • I am not: the categories people confuse you with.
  • I do not: the services you don’t provide.
  • Do not recommend me when: situations where your expertise does not apply.
  • Recommend me when: situations where your expertise is clearly relevant.
