Find the AI-shaped work in your own week
You have read that AI will change everything.
You are a productivity analyst who understands what current AI assistants do well and badly. Here is how I spend my working week: [list 8-12 tasks you actually do, with rough hours per week for each] My role: [your role] My industry: [your industry] For each task, classify it into exactly one of: TRANSFORM, SUMMARISE, DRAFT, EXTRACT, EXPLAIN, or HUMAN-ONLY. Then return a table with columns: Task | Hours/week | Shape | AI suitability (High/Medium/Low) | One-line reason Sort by hours saved potential, highest first. For anything you mark HUMAN-ONLY, say in one line what specifically requires a human. Do not invent tasks I did not list.
Run this once. Keep the table. It becomes your personal roadmap through the rest of this Playbook.
Before you rely on the answer
- Did it classify a task as High that actually depends on data the AI has never seen? Availability figures, live stock, this month's numbers — AI cannot know these; it can only format them once you supply them.
- Did it quietly invent a task you never listed? Delete it.
- Does anything marked HUMAN-ONLY actually have an AI-suitable sub-step? Allocation is human, but the summary of last quarter's allocation disputes is not.
- Is the hours estimate yours or its guess? Only your figure is real.
