Scenario

You repeat the same small work task every week and want AI to help.

01

Start with the repeat

Choose a task that happens often, has a clear input, and produces a predictable output. That is easier to improve than a vague one-off problem.

02

Map four parts

Write the input, the AI step, the human review, and the final output. If any part is unclear, the workflow is not ready yet.

multiple choice

Takeaway
