A rough note
Team catch-up Thursday, 10:00. Bring one blocker. Room not confirmed.
AI at work
Bring a question. Try an idea. Leave with a useful result.
What would you like to make easier?
A blank page. A long report. A difficult explanation. Choose something that matters to you.
Use your own idea, or choose a starter from the workshop materials.
From a rough note to a useful result
A useful draft
Our team catch-up is on Thursday at 10:00. Please bring one blocker to discuss. The room is still to be confirmed.
Ask: “Turn these notes into a short team message. Keep missing details visible.”
What AI can do
Recognize
Find a pattern, such as a document type.
Predict
Estimate a value, such as likely demand.
Generate
Create a draft, a visual, or an explanation.
AI is a broad field. These tasks can appear in the same workflow.
What generative AI adds
Text
An explanation, a summary, or a first draft.
Visuals
A diagram, a chart, or a designed page.
Files
A document, a spreadsheet, or a slide deck.
Claude reads images you supply. It does not create photos or illustrations like an image generator.
A useful answer can still be wrong
The source
18 of 24 people replied. No reason for the missing replies is recorded.
Check this answer
“80% replied. The others were too busy.”
Find both errors: 18 ÷ 24 = 75%. The reason was invented.
Choose what you share
Use approved tools
Follow your organization's AI policy and account rules.
Share the minimum
Remove personal, client, and confidential details you do not need.
Use incognito when useful

One Claude for questions and tasks
A quick question
Ask, read the answer, and continue the conversation.
A longer task
Claude plans, uses files and tools, and puts the result next to the chat.
Chat and Cowork are now one experience. Some accounts still show a switch during the rollout.
Start with a natural request
Help me with [task]. Here is what I have: [notes or file]. The result is for [audience]. Ask me one question if something important is missing.
Plain language is enough. Add details when they change the result.
Type it or say it
Dictation
Speak instead of typing. Edit the text before you send it.
Voice mode
Talk with Claude and hear the reply. It works best on a phone.
Voice mode is in beta. Check that your organization allows it.
Try your own idea
Choose one small task. Ask Claude. Inspect the result.
Choose
Pick a task from your work, or a starter prompt.
Try
Send a natural request with the material it needs.
Inspect
Find one useful part and one detail to check.
Use only sample or approved material.
Change one thing
Make one precise change. Compare the two versions.
Say what to keep
Name the parts that already work.
Say what to change
Ask for one clear change, such as length, tone, or format.
Compare
Decide which version you would use.
A short, exact follow-up usually works better than a new request.
What worked for you?
Share one request that helped. Save it for tomorrow.
Complete the start self-check. You will repeat it on Day 5.
