8 example workflows shown

Example · Admin

Turn meeting notes into an action draft

Start with: Approved, non-sensitive notes from a routine meeting.

Possible output: A draft action list with proposed owners, deadlines and unresolved questions.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: A meeting participant checks every owner and date against the notes. Missing details stay marked as unknown.

Small pilot: Try five invented meeting examples, including one with conflicting dates. Compare completeness and total preparation plus review time.

Boundary: No automatic assignment, calendar updates or emailing.

Example · Admin

Prepare a consistent first draft of an internal update

Start with: Approved progress notes and a simple house-style template.

Possible output: A short update organised into progress, blockers and next steps.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: The task owner confirms status, figures and wording before sharing.

Small pilot: Compare two formats on the same synthetic notes. Keep the version that needs fewer corrections.

Boundary: Do not paste employee performance, pay or personal details.

Example · Manufacturing

Structure a shift-handover draft

Start with: Synthetic shift notes using agreed headings and invented job references.

Possible output: A draft grouped into completed work, outstanding issues and items needing clarification.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: A supervisor checks it against the original notes. Unclear safety matters are escalated, never inferred.

Small pilot: Test missing quantities, conflicting timestamps and ambiguous wording before considering any controlled live trial.

Boundary: No machine settings, safety instructions or autonomous production decisions.

Example · Manufacturing

Make approved instructions easier to navigate

Start with: A non-sensitive, approved procedure and its version identifier.

Possible output: A proposed index, glossary and list of unanswered questions.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: The document owner verifies references and checks that no steps were omitted or rewritten as new instructions.

Small pilot: Use a small invented procedure and ask reviewers to locate specific information. Record wrong or missing references.

Boundary: The original controlled procedure remains authoritative. No safety-critical advice.

Example · Operations

Organise recurring service issues

Start with: A small synthetic list of routine issues with personal and customer data excluded.

Possible output: Suggested categories and a draft summary of recurring themes.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: An operations owner reviews category assignments and checks that unusual cases remain visible.

Small pilot: Label a sample manually first, then compare the draft against it. Record misclassifications and review effort.

Boundary: No automatic prioritisation of people, claims or financial outcomes.

Example · Operations

Draft a weekly operations briefing

Start with: Approved non-sensitive status updates with clearly labelled dates.

Possible output: A briefing draft separating completed items, risks and decisions needed.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: Each owner verifies their section; numbers are checked against the source records.

Small pilot: Use the same sample across several runs to see whether key items are consistently retained.

Boundary: No forecasting claims, system updates or unsupported explanations of trends.

Example · Customer service

Draft replies from an approved FAQ

Start with: An invented customer question and current approved FAQ text.

Possible output: A response draft with source references and unresolved questions.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: An agent verifies policy wording, accuracy and tone before sending.

Small pilot: Include questions the FAQ cannot answer. A useful draft should flag uncertainty rather than invent a policy.

Boundary: No autonomous sending, refund promises, account changes or invented delivery dates.

Example · Customer service

Improve the clarity of a response

Start with: A synthetic response with all personal, account and order details removed.

Possible output: A clearer, shorter wording proposal retaining the original meaning.

Review, pilot and boundaries

Human review: The sender checks that commitments and meaning have not changed.

Small pilot: Use ten invented examples, including an unhappy customer and an ambiguous request. Evaluate tone and retained facts.

Boundary: Do not let a rewrite create new promises or remove necessary qualifications.
