Your Personal AI Work Playbook: opening question, reusable method, eight session records and final proof.
Workbook cards are notes and records. Do not paste an entire card into AI unless a specific session tells you to.
How to use it
DON'T COLLECT PROMPTS. COLLECT WORKING METHODS.
Each card captures something worth reusing. By Session 8, the cards become evidence of how you direct, ground, inspect, create and repeat AI-assisted work while keeping human judgement visible.
Start with your question
MY QUESTION Course / date: My work or curiosity: My priority question: My route: own work / help choosing / starter case A useful result would be: Experience / access help needed: RETURN TO MY QUESTION Status: answered / demonstrated / needs more evidence / outside this course I came in asking: My answer now: The output, decision or evidence that changed my view: What I still need to find out, and how: My next small application: Optional next-week check: new input / what held / what changed
My reusable method
MY REUSABLE METHOD Task and intended receiver: Useful result and human boundary: Baseline output or prepared example used: Facts, sources and applicable dates: Brief / prompt / working steps: One targeted follow-up and what it improved: Output to keep (paste or identify the file): Important claim / exact source passage or calculation / limitation: Checks: facts / audience / format / promises / human review New input used for the second run: Second-run result and what changed in the method: Evidence type: guided inspection / independent tool use Question status and next application:

- Question: Can AI help me reply faster without inventing a promise?
- Task: Prepare Q-104 for Aina; human checks and sends.
- Sources: P-SEP: notebook RM8.00; POL-SEP: postcode/stock required; no automatic discount authority.
- Method: Paste enquiry and current sources; request concise draft, subtotal and missing facts; ask a follow-up to remove unsupported promises.
- Output: Reply B in S4. Check: 500 × RM8.00 = RM4,000; no confirmed delivery, discount or order.
- Second run: Q-105: 300 × RM2.50 = RM750, stock/pickup date still unconfirmed. Ask Operations to confirm; do not reuse Q-104's quantity or delivery wording.
- Evidence: Guided comparison of prepared text, unless the learner actually runs the prompt. Next: try one new shareable customer draft and check it.
