【The Gallic Wars of the Reiwa Era】Use AI to Turn Your Thoughts and Ideas into Assets! How to Create Wealth in the New Era
▪Asset Building means Creating an "Alter Ego"
I have always defined the essence of asset building as, ultimately, "creating an alter ego of yourself."
An entity that works on your behalf and generates value while you sleep or play.
Creating such an entity is the true essence of building wealth. There are two main methods for this "Alter Ego Creation":
1. Investment by Buying: Moving money from Point A to Point B (stocks, real estate, etc.) and letting the money work.
2. Investment by Creation: Building a business or system from scratch that operates without your physical presence. (※ For detailed definitions, please refer to my previous article"The Essentials of Asset Formation")
And now, I have conducted an experiment to transform my own thoughts and will—my "Philosophy (Doctrine)"—into an "Asset (AI Alter Ego)" using the latest weapon known as "Generative AI."
This can be called the definitive edition of "Investment by Creation" in the new era.
■ What is an AI Alter Ego? (Concept and Preparation)
What I created this time is not a mere chatbot. It is an "AI Alter Ego" that has copied my thought circuits. First, let me explain its structure. Just like a human, it is composed of three elements:
1. Soul (Brain): OpenAI API A contract to use the brain of the world's highest-level AI, "ChatGPT," externally. This becomes the intelligence of the alter ego.
2. Body (System): Dify A no-code tool that allows for the easy creation of AI bots. Even without programming skills, you can create the "vessel" (body) for the AI here.
3. Personality (Doctrine): Unique Philosophy This is the most critical part. Instead of a generic, honor student AI, I thoroughly instilled "my own philosophy of success" and "The Laws of the Universe." Only through this process does the AI truly become "my alter ego."
[Requirements]
• OpenAI Account
• Dify Account
• WordPress Blog (Installation site)
■ What I Did: Surprisingly Little Struggle
To state the conclusion first: I didn't struggle at all. What I actually did can be broadly divided into just these two tasks:
1. Summarizing Philosophy (Doctrine)
The task of preparing "personality data" to breathe into the AI. For this, I was able to use my book "Recommendation of FIRE for Salarymen in the Reiwa Era" as is. After that, I simply spent about two weeks sparring with my AI Secretary (Gemini) to polish the "Prompts (Instructions)" for the AI to ingest.
2. Implementation Work
This is the phase of actually operating the tools, but here too, I barely lifted a finger.
o "Which tool should I use?" → Secretary Gemini told me, "Dify is best."
o "How do I operate it?" → Secretary Gemini taught me perfectly, down to exactly where to click on the screen.
■ The Full Picture of Implementation
The actual construction process was completed in the following 4 steps:
1. Securing the Soul: Obtained an OpenAI API key and charged credits.
2. Alchemy of the Body: Created the "vessel" for the bot using Dify.
3. Injection of Personality: Made it learn my Success Doctrine (The Laws of the Universe) and adjusted its tone/character.
4. Deployment: Embedded the completed alter ego into WordPress and displayed it on the blog.
■ The Completed AI Alter Ego: "Caesar"
Thus, my AI Alter Ego, "Caesar," was born.
■ What the AI Alter Ego Can Do
He carries out the following missions on my behalf:
• Advice for those considering independence.
• Teaching the mindset to those wanting to start investing.
• Consultation on worries based on my experience and "Doctrine."
He performs these tasks 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without complaint and without rest. Even while I sleep, he continues to passionately narrate my philosophy to readers visiting the blog.
■ Summary: The Answer to Asset Formation Lies in "Philosophy," Not "Knowledge"
What I painfully realized through this project is the fact that "an asset (alter ego) that works 24/365 was completed in just two weeks."
You do not need programming skills or knowledge of the latest tech. "Real experiences, ways of thinking, and a firm philosophy that you want to convey to others." That is all you need.
The selection of tools (like Dify) to build assets and how to operate them—you can ask AI for all of that, and it will return perfect answers. Humans no longer need to memorize these things.
The End of Computer Work and What Remains
Through this implementation work, I became convinced. "Jobs that involve clicking away at a computer" will likely disappear.
The work I did this time felt like "an excellent in-house Systems Engineer came to my side and set up the environment for me automatically." In the coming era, SEs who set up systems or thick Q&A manuals will become unnecessary. Generative AI will do it all.
So, what remains? It is "work that involves moving your body (like farming)" and "work that creates unique philosophies based on real experiences."
AI can substitute "Tasks," but it cannot substitute "Experiences." The time has come where only those who sweat, fail, and possess a "Doctrine" gained from those experiences can use the powerful subordinate known as AI to build "Assets."

[My Doctrine of Success (The Laws of the Universe)]
Guiding principles for life and wealth, derived from 11 years in Asia and decades of investing.
- Life is meant to be enjoyed: Don't grind at 100%. Success comes when you operate with 30-40% reserve power.
- Give to receive: Always ensure the other party gains. True success is a "Four-Way Win."
- Bless others' success: Jealousy blocks wealth. Celebrating others brings fortune back to you.
- Adversity is Opportunity: When things go wrong, look closer. That is where the hidden clues for success lie.
- Nothing is wasted: There is no such thing as "working for free." All experiences connect to your future success.
