How to pick your first AI assistant use case

Start small and pick a job that passes this checklist:

• You already do it by hand. You know what a good result looks like, so you can judge the bot's work.
• It repeats. A daily, weekly, or monthly job pays back the setup more than once.
• It starts with reading and drafting. The bot returns a list or a draft, and nothing is sent, bought, or deleted.
• You can check it quickly. A short result is easy to review and correct.
• A person approves the next step. You decide what to send, post, buy, or pay.

If a job fails one of these, choose a simpler one first. Daily Briefing and Inbox Tidy are real examples of small, checkable jobs.

Approvals and safety

• Keep sending, publishing, purchases, and payments behind your approval. Ask for a review list or a draft first.
• Read what a bot asks to access before you approve it, and install it only in your own account.
• Check names, numbers, and facts yourself before you rely on a result.
• Money, legal, tax, and medical questions belong with a qualified professional.
