I show how Goals transform AI from a turn-based assistant that needs constant ‘what’s next?’ prompting into an autonomous agent that can work for hours on complex, multi-step tasks. I share three real examples: eliminating thousands of Sentry errors, cleaning 3,900 emails down to 68, and organizing hundreds of Linear tasks. What you’ll learn: What Goals are and how they differ from standard prompts How I used /goal to eliminate hundreds of error logs in my codebase over a five-hour autonomous run The non-technical use cases that make Goals incredibly powerful: cleaning up 3,900 emails in under four hours and organizing hundreds of project management tasks in Linear How to write effective /goal prompts with measurable outcomes, verification methods, and constraints When not to use Goals and what makes a strong versus weak Goal Why Goals represent a fundamental shift in how we work with AI, from babysitting the model to managing it — Brought to you by: Mercury —Radically different banking loved by over 300K entrepreneurs — In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Introduction (01:50) What is /goal and when should you use it?
