Choosing your first AI job

Pick one job you repeat often, where a mistake is small and easy to catch. The assistant only prepares a draft, and a named person approves it.

Good first jobs

  • Draft a reply to a common customer question.
  • Sort the inbox into groups for you to read.
  • Pull last quarter’s invoices into one list.
  • Find the latest version of a document.
  • Write a first draft of a weekly summary.

Poor first jobs

Poor first jobs move money, send without review, or touch records you cannot replace. Sends and payments always wait for a named person. Read how approvals work.

  1. Who starts it?

  2. Where does the information come from?

  3. Who checks the result?

  4. What does a good result look like?

Then pick the job with the most repeats and the fewest risks

Start with one job and add the next later. One job you can trust beats five you cannot.
