What if you could ask your readers what they think before you publish? In this session, you'll learn how to build an "ideal reader assistant," a custom AI tool trained to respond as your target audience. This allows you to pressure-test story ideas, headlines, and copy while you're still creating instead of waiting for feedback after launch. Using a simple, repeatable framework, you'll watch a reader bot come to life from scratch and leave with the tools to build your own, turning audience feedback from slow and reactive into fast, targeted, and available on demand.
