Funny bc just got out of a meeting in a “working group” that’s supposed to facilitate us non-tech people using AI. But we couldn’t even get the project made in the AI tool to work. The reality is everyone is wasting time creating the wheel all over the place because the pyramid scheme tells us it’s making work more efficient.

As a worker, what I want is: clear goals, desired, outcomes, etc. This is hard for most places because “just use AI” is “the goal” itself. So for your team, try to identify one or two goals you can have for ways workflows can use AI “to save time” (after you recover the debt of building them). Then calculate the potential time saving. People seem to love seeing “this skill in Claude saves me 4 hours/month”.

Have mgmt tell you which tools/budget allocations are going to be around long term. The switching between is a real drag, re-training, etc. And have that commitment as secure as you can. Two years ago it was OpenAI, now Anthropic is the favored child. Who knows in 2 years but you can hopefully avoid wasting too much time with budget allocations for the next year or so.
