5 tasks you can hand to AI today

Managers

If you run a team, half your week is reading other people's status. That's the part AI is coming for.

  1. 01

    Reading everyone's status updates

    Now

    Try it

    Here are this week's status updates from my team:
    [paste]
    
    I'm the manager. Don't summarize. Tell me only:
    1. Decisions I need to make
    2. Anyone who's blocked
    3. Anything off track
    
    If nothing needs me, say "Nothing needs you."
  2. 02

    Writing the weekly report for your boss

    Now

    Try it

    Turn these notes into a weekly update for my boss:
    [paste notes]
    
    Max 150 words. Lead with what changed and what I need from them. Ask me 3 questions first if anything is unclear.
  3. 03

    Taking meeting notes and chasing action items

    Now

    Try it

    Here's my meeting transcript:
    [paste]
    
    List every decision, every action item with an owner and a due date, and anything left unresolved. Flag action items with no owner.
  4. 04

    Turning a messy brain dump into a plan

    Now

    Try it

    Here's a messy brain dump:
    [paste or dictate]
    
    Turn it into a plan: the goal, the 3 most important steps, who does what, and what I should STOP doing. Ask me 5 questions before you start.
  5. 05

    Checking dashboards to see if anything broke

    Now

    Try it

    Here are this week's numbers next to last week's:
    [paste]
    
    What changed enough that I should care? Explain in plain English. If nothing did, say so.

Coming

Early versions exist. Learn the NOW list first and you'll be ready when these get easy.

  • Noticing a project has gone quiet for nine days
  • Prepping you before every one-on-one

NOW means you can do it today in Claude or ChatGPT. COMING means early versions exist, but it isn't easy for most people yet. Always check AI's work before you send it, and only paste what your company allows you to share.

Stuck on one?

Give me one thing you hate doing at work and 15 minutes.

I'll tell you whether to kill it, do it with AI, give it to AI, or never think about it again. That's RE+SHAPE.
