AI at work
Playbook 1 of the line · Publication planned for 20 November 2026
The problem
You have been told to use AI at work, and nobody has given you a method. You do not need a course on prompt engineering, a survey of the market or a compliance manual. You need to know which tools to use, for what, under which rules, and you need a result within a week.
In one working day you will have chosen three AI tools for your company, written the two rules that keep them safe, and produced one real piece of work with them.
The handbook ends with those three things. The facilitator kit produces them in the room, for a team, on the day.
The eight chapters
- The three questions. Which work to hand to a tool, which to keep, and what “done” means.
- Choosing three tools. The general assistants, the writing tools and the meeting tools, set against your own tasks.
- The first afternoon. One real task end to end, with the prompts that worked and the ones that did not.
- Rules that fit on one page. What may never be pasted into a tool, who checks an output, what is written down.
- The team, not the tool. How to make three people use one method, and what to do with the one who will not.
- Measuring whether it worked. Four numbers a small company can read, and the ones that mislead.
- What it costs. Subscriptions, time, mistakes, and the break-even in hours saved.
- The next twelve months. What will change, what will not, and how to decide again in a year.
The handbook closes with the checklists and the one-page rules: the artefacts you keep.
