What should I include in a tech stack document for AI context?

Go through your house and office and write down all the models and names of everything you use to operate your business: what computer you have, what monitor, keyboard, mouse, phone model, printer, internet router—everything. Search your old Amazon orders, run system checks on your computer to find model numbers. Put all of that into one document. This saves you enormous time because instead of the AI asking ‘are you on PC or Mac? What printer do you have?’ every single time something breaks or you need help, it just knows. This one document alone can save you countless hours of back-and-forth.
