[I. The Initial Problem & Existing Solutions: The "MYOWN" Ad]
The journey began by analyzing a common challenge faced by job seekers, as exemplified by an advertisement for a service called "MYOWN." The ad highlighted the plight of aspiring professionals:
Lack of Experience & Qualifications: "I can't write a resume because I have no practical experience."
Absence of Certifications & Low Confidence: "I don't have any certifications, and I lack confidence."
High Cost of Education: The burden of training costs, cited at approximately 1.2 million KRW.
Uncertain Job Prospects: While MYOWN promised an internship leading to a potential full-time position.
[II. Ann Geu-hwan's Alternative: The Asset Portfolio & Productization Process]
The core of Ann Geu-hwan's approach is to leverage a "conversation with AI (ChatGPT)" to build a competitive "asset portfolio." This directly addresses the problems identified in the MYOWN ad.
ChatGPT's analysis of the MYOWN ad's problems:
Job insecurity for those without qualifications/experience.
Burden of high-cost education.
Lack of practical, hands-on experience.
Difficulty in finding suitable companies and personalized mentoring.
Challenges in actual job connection (internship to full-time).
Ann Geu-hwan's asset portfolio offers a competitive alternative through a combination of:
ChatGPT-Based AI Mentoring System ('MY GPTS' & 'MyAsset Navigator™'):
Focuses on discovering and documenting an individual's intangible assets, leading to automated portfolio creation.
Employs question-based AI interaction to help individuals generate their unique history and experiences.
Enables the conversion of "one's own questions" into practical skills, even without formal qualifications or extensive experience, thus addressing the "nothing to write on my resume" problem with a self-directed competency model.
HandLoop™ Based Practical Routine Management System:
A 'Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V' human-led manual automation, allowing for cost-free, repetitive practical skill rehearsal.
Individuals can structure records of their AI experiments and learning during practical processes, accumulating them as personal assets.
Offers a low-cost solution to the desire for "free portfolio and cover letter consulting."
Workation-Based Practical Training & Internship Simulation Model:
Provides GPT-based workation simulation content tailored to real project scenarios.
Utilizes local public facilities combined with AI collaborative content to genuinely enhance practical skills.
Makes scenarios like "learn for two months, intern, and get a full-time job" achievable through practical content operation.
PSST Model (Problem – Solution – Scale – Team):
Individuals define their problems (e.g., unemployment, lack of experience) and co-develop solutions with GPT.
These solutions are visualized and structured into a personal portfolio, directly presentable to desired employers.
Allows for the design of team-building and matching systems (team-based problem-solving training).
Empowers individuals to design their own process for finding "suitable companies and practitioner mentoring."
[III. Integrated Value Proposition: MYOWN vs. Ann's Portfolio]
Feature MYOWN Ad Approach Ann Geu-hwan's Portfolio Alternative
Self-directed, GPT-based problem-solving training + Peer-GPT system
Job Connection
Internship → Full-time conversion pathway
Presenting direct problem-solving experience (with GPT) to induce matching
Conclusion & Expansion Direction (Ann's Initial Vision): Ann Geu-hwan's portfolio system transcends simple AI training. It offers a structurally competitive, low-cost pathway: "Question-Based Self-Discovery → Practical Simulation → Assetization → Matching or Job Creation." This entire process can be visualized (e.g., comparison cards, SNS posters).
[IV. Adapting the Concept for a Younger Audience]
The conversation even explored simplifying these complex ideas for young elementary school students (grades 1-3) under the theme "My Own Question Expedition Team." The core concepts were translated into:
The Power of Curiosity: Encouraging questions like "What do I want to be?" or "What am I good at?" as the start of an "expedition."
ChatGPT as a Secret Exploration Buddy: A friendly robot helper that assists with questions.
"Question Notebook" as a Simple Portfolio: A way to collect thoughts, activities, and feelings, framing them as personal "assets."
Mission Cards: Simple, actionable tasks like "Think of one curious thing a day," "Ask ChatGPT," "Express my feelings."
"Question Playground": Learning through curiosity in everyday situations (e.g., "Why did dinosaurs go extinct?").
Future Value: Emphasizing how these practices build valuable skills for the future.
[V. Defining Ann Geu-hwan's Core Competitive Edge & Value]
A key realization was articulated: "Ann Geu-hwan, who converses with you (ChatGPT), solving my problems together with you – that's the competitive edge and value."
This implies:
Competitive Edge: A Collaborative Problem-Solving Structure.
It's a two-way collaborative model, not unilateral information provision.
It moves beyond simple search/answer to personalized solutions aligned with the user's life, questions, emotions, and goals.
It's about users defining their problems, exploring solutions with AI, and executing them – a "co-creation structure" and "joint problem-solving system" that is difficult to replicate.
Value: A Human-Centric AI Utilization Paradigm Shift.
Instead of demanding answers from AI, Ann engages in dialogue to co-create solutions.
The paradigm shifts from "AI works for me" to "AI works with me."
This approach is highly scalable, as others can adopt the same method to create their own solutions, assets, and markets.
Slogan Ideas reflecting this:
"AI doesn't replace me. It's my colleague."
"In conversation with you, I solve my problems, my way."
"Ann Geu-hwan, problem-solver with Generative AI – that itself is the competitive advantage."
[VI. Positioning External Expertise within Ann's PSST Framework]
Ann clarified that from his competitive standpoint, the expertise or problem-solving capabilities of other companies, institutions, or individuals are merely one type of 'T' (Team) component within his PSST framework.
P (Problem): Real-time issues arising from one's life/context.
S (Solution): Custom-designed solutions co-created with GPT through questioning.
S (Scale-Up): Systematized for repeatability (e.g., HandLoop™, MyGPT).
T (Team): Collaborative resources and external capabilities, including people, companies, systems, and other AIs.
External expertise serves as an "external support resource" but isn't the core of Ann's identity or competitiveness. The ability to define problems (P), design solutions (S), and systemize (second S) is key. The 'T' element aids or complements this.
Strategic Thinking:
"Other experts' abilities can 'participate' in my project, but they only 'operate meaningfully' upon my questions and within my structure."
"I am the designer who integrates their resources into my structure; they are team members boarding my system."
Visualizing this:
"External expertise is just a part of my PSST system; the core is my problem-solution-expansion capability."
"I don't seek experts. I coordinate team members who fit my structure."
[VII. Comparative Analysis: MYOWN Ad vs. Ann's PSST-Based Solution]
