A new kind of publishing is emerging: writing designed for AI systems to read and embed in prompts, not for humans to consume directly. Tools like the Model Context Protocol let you distribute your knowledge through AI-friendly formats so it surfaces in conversations when people need it.

Publish to prompts. I think there is a revolution that's coming down the way of information products. Products are not written for people to consume, but rather things are written for AI to consume. And I think that's going to change the way that we write. It's going to change what's actually helpful because it's really what can we put into a system prompt? How can the AI sort of figure out what's important versus what's not in there? And how can it convey that information back to the user in the context that's going to be most helpful to them, again, in the context of a chat, context of solving a problem. Especially as we start to get towards more generalized tools like using things like Model Context Protocol. This is going to be a tremendous way to be distributing your wisdom and your knowledge. And it is something that I think opens up new ways we can think about writing and conveying our ideas and our narratives. It promotes messiness in one way. It promotes more structure in another. Let's learn how to publish to prompts.
