The admin assistant
Method
- Keep a tally for one week: every admin task under 10 minutes goes on the list.
- Cluster it: what comes up daily, what weekly, what belongs together?
- Describe your standards to the AI project: filing, naming, formats.
- Turn the three most frequent ones into fixed task prompts: short call, finished result.
- Test it for a week in daily work and measure: what got faster, what got clumsier?
The trick: Don't try to automate everything. Two admin tasks that actually run beat ten half-built ones.
