Can I use AI itself to help me create these context documents?

Absolutely. You can use AI to build the files you’ll use with AI—it’s a bit meta, but it works perfectly. Use a simple prompt like: ‘I want you to create a context document about my art business that I can use with AI tools. Interview me by asking one question at a time. Cover these areas: who I am as an artist, who my customers are, what products I sell, how I talk and write, and my business goals. After the interview, compile everything into a clean document I can save and reuse. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer.’ You can also ask AI to conduct a comprehensive interview covering all the document types you need, and it will create all those documents for you in one session.
