And now the Mentor Deck is updated, and joined by two other decks that are fun, inspiring and surprising. I think they\u2019ll make great gifts, but they\u2019re also worth keeping a set for yourself as well.<\/p>\n<p>It takes a long time to print a deck of cards, and we\u2019re timing this launch so we can get the decks to everyone in time for the winter holidays\u2013and we want to make sure to print enough. Early birds save a bundle, and folks who were in the beta group can get a special deal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How the decks work:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most famous AI platform is chatGPT, but my daily favorite is Claude, from Anthropic. Anthropic recently launched a platform they call artifacts. An artifact is an elegant, complex, pre-written prompt that can be shared with others. I ended up building 150 of them\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Each of the cards in the three decks has a QR code on it. Scan that and it launches an artifact that you can interact with. I used the tactile, analog power of playing cards to create juxtapositions and combinations that bring delight to our very human interactions with the AI.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"how to use the decks\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1110122532?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>While it was complex to build, it\u2019s really easy to use. And the combination of cards and AI is pure magic.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Infinite Adventure Deck<\/strong> lets you choose your own text adventure. There are fifty worlds to explore\u2013Alice in Wonderland, Cyberpunk, Noir PIs and even Al Capone. <\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Modern Divination Deck<\/strong> unlocks fifty kinds of ancient and modern soothsaying. Our future is not pre-written, it\u2019s up to us. This neo-tarot deck leads to deep conversations and insights about taking responsibility and taking action in creating a future we\u2019d like to be part of.<\/p>\n<p>And the <strong>Mentor Deck<\/strong> is a series of focused prompts that create a coaching conversation. Each coach has \u2018read\u2019 what Claude knows about an idea or author and then talks you through your issues, your challenges and your potential. You\u2019re not talking to the person who coined the ideas, but to a coach who understands them.<\/p>\n<p>All three decks are designed to amplify our humanity. Instead of pushing ourselves to be nothing but a more productive cog, these sorts of open-ended conversations can push us to stop waiting for instructions and start taking responsibility instead.<\/p>\n<p>You can try a sample Mentor conversation <a href=\"https:\/\/claude.ai\/public\/artifacts\/cc614eaa-e53e-4fc4-9f44-0e5680e5737a\">here<\/a>. In addition, there are three samples from the Infinite deck on the Kickstarter page (at the bottom).<\/p>\n<p>PS If you\u2019re around Wednesday, I\u2019ll be doing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/sethgodin_join-oriana-head-of-publishing-at-kickstarter-activity-7361421217976721408-SGMk?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAACEZUv4BdR8p64ZqOa8M4uHVia72BwmNhz4\">live Q&amp;A with Oriana Leckert<\/a>, the head of publishing at Kickstarter.
