1. Start here

Most people ask the wrong question about AI at work: "what tool should I use?" The better question is: "what part of my work repeats, slows me down, or starts from a blank page?" AI is useful when it speeds up normal work — and risky when you treat it like a magic employee, a lawyer, a final editor, or a decision-maker.

2. What AI does — and what you still own

The guide maps the everyday use cases: emails (AI turns rough bullets into a clear message; you check facts, tone, and promises), meeting notes (AI summarizes decisions and owners; you confirm accuracy), SOPs, research summaries, support replies, content drafts, spreadsheet help, project planning, decision prep, and learning.

The pattern is the same everywhere: AI does the first pass, you own the facts, the relationships, and the call.

3. The 7-day challenge

It ends with a 7-day challenge that applies one use case per day to your real work — so by the end of the week AI is part of how you work, not another tab you forgot about.
