Choose AI work that is language-heavy, grounded in available context, and easy for a person to review.
The Concept
A good AI task has a bounded outcome. Summarizing, drafting, comparing, extracting, classifying, translating, and answering from approved sources are strong starting points. Use Chat for a small trial and an approved Tool only when the task needs exact calculation or live system data.
Example
Using the attached proposal, extract obligations, deadlines, owners, and open
questions into a table. Do not infer missing dates. Cite the page for each item.
This works because the source, action, format, evidence rule, and human review are explicit.
Checklist
- The source can be supplied or retrieved.
- The outcome fits in one sentence.
- The result can be checked against evidence.
- Missing facts can be marked instead of invented.
- A person owns the final decision or external action.
