Workers want this gone, but today's tools only get part of the way. Automate the edges.
Creative & strategic work
Hard to fully automate. Use AI as a fast first draft, not the final word.
- 1Use AI to generate options and rough drafts when you develop or specify standards, methods, or procedures to determine product quality or release readiness, then shape them yourself.
- 2Keep templates and swipe files so you start faster.
- 3Automate the production steps around the creative core, not the core itself.
