Practical AI foundations
Choose one useful job
Turn ‘use AI’ into one repeated task with an observable definition of done.
A good first job is repeated, low enough risk to test, expensive enough to matter, supported by representative examples, and reviewed by someone who understands acceptable output.
Learning outcomes
What you should be able to show.
- 01Identify a testable task rather than a department goal
- 02Write the trigger, input, output, and owner
- 03Define an observable acceptance rule
Studio practice
Make the lesson visible.
- 01
Inventory repeated work
List five tasks that recur at least monthly and note current minutes, waiting time, and frustration.
- 02
Screen for a first test
Remove tasks with prohibited data, irreversible actions, unclear ownership, or no representative examples.
- 03
Write the job brief
Complete: When this trigger occurs, the owner uses this input to produce this output, which passes when these conditions are visible.
Evidence to keep
Your lesson record.
- Five-task inventory
- One screened task
- Completed job brief
