Objective-Based Commander Intent Prompts

Jyunmi opened the show for episode 598 with Andy and Brian, setting up a news heavy Wednesday focused on Gemini 3 and how it changes prompting and agent design. Before diving into Gemini 3, they covered major moves from Nvidia, Microsoft, Anthropic, and Alibaba, plus new tools from Poe and Replit.

Key Points Discussed

Nvidia reports earnings and deepens its partnership with Microsoft and Anthropic, including new chip work tuned for Claude.

Microsoft unveils a sales development agent and an agent command center to track official and shadow agents across 365.

Alibaba launches the Qwen consumer chatbot to compete in China’s crowded assistant market and push deeper ecosystem integration.

Poe adds group chat for up to 200 users with any model, and Replit ships a new design feature powered by Gemini 3.

Google formally launches Gemini 3, wires it into search, the Gemini app, and introduces the anti gravity coding environment.

Brian tests Gemini 3 and finds that it prefers a single large prompt over router style prompt chains.

Gemini 3 introduces an objective based commander intent approach with a prime directive and clear success criteria.

The team walks through new Gemini 3 prompting patterns, including phases instead of steps, deep reasoning loops, and source of truth rules.

Negative constraints and quality gates become core tools to prevent sloppy outputs and premature phase changes.

Brian builds a Gem Architect that helps users design strong Gemini 3 gems using this new prompting style.

He then uses that architect to create a DOS page builder gem that turns show transcripts into SEO ready HTML deep dives.

Andy explains the difference between the Gemini app and Google AI Studio, and how AI Studio is shifting toward full application projects.

Brian shares how the community can access his Gem Architect prompt and gem inside The Daily AI Show hub.
