A hammer doesn’t build a house. People do.
AI is a new tool for our toolbelt. It can spot patterns, draft options, surface blind spots, but it needs direction. Our work still leans on judgment, context, and the hard won sense for what matters most when money and safety are on the line.
I am finding use cases for AI that I am using daily. My biggest win so far is simple. I use AI to read long technical material and hand me a tight brief. It pulls out what’s signal, not noise. I check the sources, compare against reality, and decide. The time saved pays for itself.
A starter workflow you can copy this week:
Have AI summarize the document in question.
Extract the key takeaways, including options and tradeoffs.
Have AI ask you clarifying questions, or maybe “What questions do I need to be asking?”
Spend less time wading through pages and more time choosing the next move.
AI is a power tool. Treat it like one. Keep your hands on the blueprint.
