Pick one task you already repeat, and set AI up to do that one well. A first attempt that starts with "build my marketing strategy" comes back generic, and the generic answer is what convinces people AI is overhyped.
Comes round at least once a month
You have put it off more than once
There is a document you would have to read
You can say what the answer should contain
Happens once a year
You would have to invent the material
Nothing is written down to work from
"Make it better" is the whole instruction
The supplier agreement you signed in a hurry answers all four lines on the left. It comes round every renewal, reading it properly is a job you keep moving to tomorrow, and every answer you want is already on its pages.
You do all three of these most months. Which one is the best first task to give AI?
Read the supplier quotes in your inbox and pull out prices and delivery dates
Decide which of your two suppliers to drop next quarter
Write next week's staff rota from memory
The quotes arrive as documents, so there is something to read, and the answer is facts already on the page. Which supplier to drop needs judgement you have never written down, and the rota lives in your head, so AI would invent both.
