Discover What AI Can Do With Your Work

I can identify a real work problem where AI may create leverage, use AI in more than one way, and decide what should remain human-led.

Session 01 / Prompting practice Prompting exercise · use AI/GPT
What you'll learn

Find one real job where AI may help, then decide what should remain human-led.

Bring / required

Computer or phone with AI/GPT, your Playbook, and one small task — or the starter case.

What you'll do

Run one baseline attempt, try one additional AI role, then inspect what helped and what still needs a person.

Take away

One anchor task, one baseline and one human boundary.

What you'll practise

  • Recognise work that benefits from AI assistance.
  • Separate a useful AI task from a vague request.
  • Choose your own work or the supplied quotation task to carry through the programme.
Keep this idea

Start from the work. Then decide whether AI belongs.

TRY ONE REAL JOB WITH AI.

This is the live AI part. Your worksheet is for notes; the starter-case prompt and case material are what go into GPT.

Use AI/GPT

Starter-case route: paste S0 + S1 Q-104 + S2. Do not paste S4; S4 is a prepared comparison for after your first attempt.

Open exact prompt + case material →

Keep this in your notes

Your task, the first result, one useful contribution, one thing that still needs human checking and the boundary you would keep.

Open Session 1 card →

01 / 3 minChoose your own task or Q-104. Write what a useful result would look like.
02 / 12 minRun the first attempt. Keep one useful contribution and one thing requiring a human check.
03 / 12 minTry one additional AI role — explain, generate, transform, analyse, evaluate or explore — and compare what changed.
04 / integrateSave the result and state what AI may do and what the person still owns.
Evidence to leave with

One anchor task + baseline + human boundary. Point to one supported fact and one unresolved fact.
