Clear a week of office work with AI, and check every line

The situation

Saba is the office coordinator at a textile exporter in Faisalabad. Her week is the same: a pile of supplier emails, a weekly update for the director, meeting notes nobody acts on, and two awkward replies she keeps postponing. She has heard AI can help but is worried about sending something wrong under her name.

Use AI for the drafting, keep the judgement yourself, and prove that nothing false leaves the office.

What you'll be able to show

• Sort tasks into draft, check and mine before handing anything over
• Write prompts as briefs with task, context, constraints and format
• Turn rough notes into decisions, owners and dates
• Verify every specific fact before a draft goes out

What you need

• Any general AI assistant (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Copilot)
• Your own recent emails and notes, with names and numbers changed if they are confidential

Tasks

1. 1Sort the week

   List ten tasks from a real or realistic office week. Mark each draft (AI can start it), check (AI drafts, you verify heavily) or mine (no AI). Give a one-line reason for each mine.
   A correct result: Ten tasks, each marked, with at least two marked mine and a reason.

2. 2Brief, not a line

   Take one task marked draft. Write the request first as one vague line, then as a four-part brief (task, context, constraints, format). Run both.
   A correct result: Both prompts and both outputs, with three sentences on what the brief changed.

3. 3The reply you are avoiding

   Write a hard reply: refusing a supplier's price rise while keeping them. Give the AI the incoming message and one line of intent. Edit the draft until it sounds like you.
   A correct result: The AI draft and your sent version side by side, with your edits visible.

4. 4Notes into actions

   Type rough notes from a real or realistic meeting. Ask for three sections: decisions, actions with owner and date, open questions. Correct anything it got wrong.
   A correct result: The rough notes, the structured version, and a list of the corrections you made.

5. 5The weekly update

   Produce a one-screen weekly update for the director from bullet points: what moved, what is stuck and why, what you need from them. No paragraph longer than three lines.
   A correct result: An update the director could read in under a minute.

6. 6Check before it leaves

   Take every draft from this lab. Underline each specific fact: name, date, number, price, quotation, link. Confirm each against the source and correct any that were invented.
   A correct result: Each draft with facts underlined, a count of facts checked, and how many were wrong or unconfirmable.

What to hand in

The task sort, the two prompts and outputs, the edited reply, the meeting actions, the weekly update, and the fact-check count.
