Start with the task

Writing a first draft, summarising a conversation and answering an incoming call are different jobs. Begin with a specific task and consider whether AI provides useful support for it. A clearly defined role is easier to evaluate than an open-ended promise.

Separate drafting from deciding

A draft reply or summary can give a colleague a useful starting point. It still needs review for accuracy, context and tone. For professional and financial work, the person responsible for the final output should check the underlying information.

Be deliberate about context

An assistant connected to communication activity has a different role from a general writing tool. Decide what information belongs in the workflow, who should have access and how your team will use the results. Keep the boundaries clear before adding a connection.

Choose a manageable first use

A small, repeatable task can help a team understand where the tool is useful and where it needs supervision. Review the results before extending the approach to more parts of the working day.
