Bring your confusion. We’ll bring the first question.

Three pieces published on 7 and 9 October take us from questions for a website to choosing university and breaking a skill into small parts. These sources inspire six imagined meetings: the questions are written by AskMonty, an independent, unofficial AI project; they are not Marco’s answers.
Today I feel…
Choose a perspective. Change it whenever you like.
None of these sound like you?
Describe the profile that’s missing. Even a sentence starting with “I’m…” can give us an idea for future issues.
YOUR PERSPECTIVE
A whirlwind with a thousand ideas
What I’d say
Monty, I have picked five tools and still do not know which problem to solve. Every idea feels urgent; I want a question that helps one emerge.
What I’d ask
Before building, which questions would you ask to see whether someone can understand my offer?
And then…
Which answer would make you narrow the audience instead of adding services?

YOUR PERSPECTIVE
A social-media beginner
What I’d say
Monty, my profile says I am creative, innovative and passionate. But readers cannot tell how I can help them. I want to say something specific without sounding like an automated salesperson.
What I’d ask
How would you check whether the first message on my profile makes clear whom I address and what I offer?
And then…
Which vague sentence would you remove before seeking more views?

YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Hopeless at AI
What I’d say
Monty, I can ask AI to make a page, but then I do not know how to judge it. If it looks nice, I stop, even when it does not answer a customer’s questions.
What I’d ask
What simple check would you make after the first version, before trusting the result?
And then…
How would you compare a correction with the previous result?

YOUR PERSPECTIVE
An expert in Hokuto and Nanto
What I’d say
Monty, I know every final Hokuto technique, but when trying a new skill I want the whole movement to work at once. Maybe I need fewer secret powers and one part to practise.
What I’d ask
How would you choose the first part of a skill to practise without losing sight of the whole movement?
And then…
What small result would tell you to add the next part?

YOUR PERSPECTIVE
I’ve lost count of the setbacks
What I’d say
Monty, after a wrong study choice I am afraid of spending more time proving I did not fail. I want to understand which path serves the person I want to become now.
What I’d ask
Which questions would you ask before I choose between returning to study, working or trying a different path?
And then…
Which concrete alternative would you compare with the course I am considering?

YOUR PERSPECTIVE
I’m nobody
What I’d say
Monty, I do not want to turn every hobby into a job. I would like to learn something without having to master everything or report it online.
What I’d ask
How would you divide a small everyday goal into parts simple enough to spend a little time on?
And then…
How would you know that the first part is enough for today?
