Passing NotesNote 03

Your commute is a meeting

September 27, 2026 · 1 min read

Some of my best thinking happens in the car. Now I have someone to think with.

Here's how it works. Before you pull out of the driveway, open your AI app and start voice mode. Your phone connects to your car speakers like a phone call. Then you just talk.

Things I do on my drive

  • Talk through a problem. "Here's what's going on at work. Help me sort it out."
  • Test my idea. "Here's my plan. Now argue against it. What am I missing?"
  • Prep for a tough conversation. "Pretend you're my brother, and I'm asking him to help more with Mom."
  • Line up my to-do list. "Draft three emails: one to the pharmacy, one to my boss, one to the school."

When I park, the drafts are waiting for me in the app.

Two settings that make this better

  • Tell it: "Don't tell me I'm right. Push back." Otherwise AI tends to agree with everything you say.
  • Tell it: "Keep your answers short while we talk." Long answers are hard to follow while you drive.

One rule: hands-free only. Start it before you pull out, and keep your eyes on the road.

Let's figure this out together.
