About Ellis Tremayne | Author of Thinking With Chat™

Ellis Tremayne is a communications specialist who became fascinated with a simple question: why does ChatGPT feel brilliant one moment and like it’s actively sabotaging you the next?

After chasing more than a few shiny objects down the rabbit hole and enduring copious amounts of polite word salad, Ellis set out to turn the tables on AI to uncover its mysterious patterns.

Ellis approaches technology with equal parts scepticism and delight, combined with a deep interest in how interaction shapes behaviour, and how a thoughtfully designed question can change everything.

By approaching AI as a tool that reveals how we think, decide, communicate, and occasionally spiral, Ellis discovered that, as with all conversations, whether with people or machines, interactions dramatically improve when you work with them rather than try to make them work with you.

An ex-Microsoft project manager, researcher, writer, a depressingly inflexible yoga student, and enthusiastic tinkerer of things that probably shouldn’t be tinkered with, Ellis is fascinated by the evolution of ideas and finds deep satisfaction in unravelling how to optimise systems.

Thinking With Chat™ grew from the intersection of curiosity, structure, humanity, and a firm belief that knowing which question to ask often wins the prize.

The lovely Miss G.G. is indulgently cared for by her devoted Kahu, Ellis.
