AI for Work

Turn everyday work into a useful result with AI.

Choose the job you need to complete. Start with a proven pattern, improve it with simple local tools, then leave with a draft, decision brief, action plan or reusable workflow ready for you to check and use.

Choose the job

What would you like to get done?

You do not need to choose an AI brand first. Pick the outcome and follow the shortest useful route.

01

Communicate clearly

Draft an email, proposal, client update or meeting follow-up.

You leave with: A clear first draft in the right tone and format.

Find a communication pattern
02

Research and decide

Compare options, surface assumptions and prepare a short decision brief.

You leave with: A balanced view of the evidence, trade-offs and next decision.

Start a decision brief
03

Analyse and organise

Turn rough notes, source text or a meeting into useful structure.

You leave with: Relevant context, constraints, actions and gaps to check.

Organise source material
04

Repeat a workflow

Set the role, tone, rules and output shape for work you do regularly.

You leave with: A reusable instruction pack for more consistent results.

Build reusable instructions

One workflow, from rough task to usable output.

The tools work together. Start with a pattern, improve the request, add the right context, then run it in the assistant your business already uses.

The finish line is not a better prompt.

It is a checked email, brief, plan, structure or repeatable instruction set that helps you move the work forward.

  1. Choose a starting pattern

    01

    Use the library to start from a useful structure instead of a blank chat box.

    Open the library →

  2. Pressure-test the request

    02

    The Critic flags missing context, vague constraints and likely failure points.

    Check a request →

  3. Add context or working rules

    03

    Extract the facts from rough source material or build instructions for repeat work.

    Use the Extractor →Build Instructions →

  4. Create, check and use the output

    04

    Run the improved request in your assistant, then verify the facts, tone and private information.

    Choose where to run it →

Clear boundaries

Local by design, with storage limits visible.

The Library is curated content. The Critic and Extractor use deterministic browser-side checks, not an AI model. The Instructions Builder assembles what you enter into a reusable pack.

Inputs are not sent to an AI model by these tools.
Anything you choose to save stays in this browser only.
Browser saves are unencrypted and readable by this browser profile and extensions; use a private device and avoid sensitive client content.

Your quality gate

Every output still needs a human check.

Say the job

Start with the task, not a vague request. “Draft a two-paragraph client update” beats “make this better”.

Give the source

Paste or attach the facts it should use. Ask it to flag missing information instead of guessing.

Set the shape

Tell it whether you want bullets, a table, an email, a checklist, a decision brief, or a first draft.

Check before using

Treat the output as a helpful draft. Check facts, tone, private information, and anything customer-facing.

Choose the assistant last

Use the assistant that fits where your work already lives.

Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini can all handle the shared workflow. Their practical differences matter after you know the job, source material and output you need.
