Training Overview
Training your Deva is the process of teaching it to respond like you. This guide explains how training works, what makes it effective, and what to expect.
What is Training?
Training is how you teach your Deva AI your knowledge, voice, perspective, and personality. The result is a Deva that responds authentically as you would, earning you money while you sleep.
Your Deva learns through examples of your writing, response patterns, and communication style—not through rules or instructions. You're showing it how you communicate, not programming it.
How Training Works: Three Methods
1. Content Upload
Upload documents teaching your knowledge and expertise.
What it teaches: Facts and information What it doesn't teach: Communication style
Best for:
Blog posts
Transcripts
Articles
Educational content
2. Response Variants
Create example responses showing HOW you express yourself.
What it teaches: Communication style, phrasing, and personality What it doesn't teach: New factual information
Best for:
Demonstrating your voice
Showing communication patterns
Adding personality
3. Notes
Build a private knowledge base your Deva references.
What it does: Lets your AI access private knowledge while keeping it private from others When to enable: "Use for Responses" toggle
Best for:
Methodologies
Research
Frameworks
Private expertise
Why All Three Matter
Content alone = Robotic (knows facts, no personality)
Variants alone = No substance (has style, no knowledge)
Notes alone = No personality (has depth, no voice)
Combined = Authentic you with real value
Why Training Matters
Without training: "There are many productivity systems available. Some popular options include GTD, Pomodoro, and time-blocking." (Robotic, low engagement)
With training: "Ugh, I struggled with this for YEARS. Here's what finally worked: Pick your 3 must-dos every morning. Everything else? Bonus. Been doing this 5+ years—changed everything." (Authentic, 5x better earnings)
Training Requirements
Minimum: 5 documents + 5 variants = Basic functional Deva
Recommended: 10-15 documents + 10-15 variants = Quality Deva that earns consistently
Optimal: 25+ documents + 20+ variants = High-performing Deva with excellent earnings
Quality Over Quantity
5 excellent documents beat 50 mediocre ones.
Use This:
Authentic content in your voice
Substantial insights
Specific advice
Relevant expertise
Current views
Avoid This:
Generic/copied content
Outdated information
Off-topic material
How Your Deva Learns
When someone asks a question, your Deva follows this process:
Understands the question - Analyzes what the user is asking
Searches content - Finds relevant knowledge from your uploads
Identifies style patterns - Pulls communication patterns from your variants
Combines both - Merges knowledge + communication style → authentic response
Teaching Principles & Common Mistakes
Key Principles
Show, Don't Tell
Create response variants demonstrating your style
Don't write documents describing your style
Your Deva learns from examples, not instructions
Consistency
Ensure all training content has similar voice
Mixed formality makes your Deva sound like multiple people
Maintain one authentic voice throughout
Quality > Quantity
10 excellent documents beat 100 mediocre ones
Focus on authentic, substantial, relevant content
Better to have less high-quality content than lots of mediocre content
Specificity
✓ Good: "I use time-blocking in 90-minute chunks. No meetings before noon. 5 years—output increased 3x"
✗ Bad: "There are many productivity methods"
Authenticity > Perfection
Imperfect authentic voice beats polished generic one
Your real voice is more valuable than perfect prose
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Too little initial content - Need 5-10 docs minimum to start
No response variants - Create 5+ variants to show your voice
Inconsistent voice - Switching between formal/casual confuses AI
Outdated information - Remove or update old content
No ongoing updates - Add new content monthly to stay current
The Iterative Cycle
Training improves continuously: Initial Training → Deploy → Monitor → Identify Gaps → Add Targeted Training → Test → Repeat. Review monthly, refine based on feedback, and update as your brand evolves.
Success Metrics: Do responses sound like you? Can your Deva handle common questions? Do users return? Are you earning consistently?
Next Steps
Start Training Your Deva
First-Time Training:
Uploading Content - Add your first documents
Creating Variants - Show your personality
Remember: The best training is iterative. Start with basics, test, observe, and refine. Your Deva will improve continuously as you add more training data and learn what works best.
Pro Tip: Your first 10 interactions will teach you more about effective training than any guide can. Pay attention to what works, then adjust accordingly.
