A new AI tool launches and everyone at work is talking about it. What do you do?

Sign up the same day and poke around

Wait to see whether it's actually reliable

Work out where it fits into the way I already work

Check whether it can take a boring task off my plate

Use it to riff on an idea I'm stuck on

Your manager needs a first draft of a report by tomorrow morning. Your first move?

Have AI produce a full draft, then fix what's wrong

Talk the angle through with AI, then write it together section by section

Write it myself — maybe a grammar check at the end

Run it through the report prompt I've already saved

Try two or three tools and keep the best output

Honestly, how often do you use AI for work?

Several times a week, mostly when I'm thinking or creating

In bursts, whenever something new catches my eye

Every day — it's built into my routines and workflows

Rarely, and only when I can easily check the result

Which task would you most happily hand over to AI?

Emails, meeting notes and summaries

Recurring reports and data clean-up I can automate

Whatever I haven't tried it on yet

Honestly, very little — I'd rather get it right myself

Brainstorming names, angles and headlines

AI gives you a confidently wrong answer. What happens next?

I push back and argue with it until something useful comes out

I fix it quickly myself and move on

I rewrite my instructions so it doesn't happen again

It confirms I need to double-check everything

I rephrase and try a different tool

Which of these have you done in the last month? (Pick all that apply)

Checked an AI answer against an original source

Tried an AI tool for the very first time

Used AI to clear a backlog of small tasks

Asked AI to critique my work or play devil's advocate

Saved a reusable prompt, template or automation

Pick the AI feature you'd want most.

An agent that runs multi-step tasks for me on a schedule

A thinking partner that challenges my ideas

One button that clears my to-do list

A surprising new capability every week

Clear sources and citations for every claim

A colleague says, "AI is going to make our jobs worse." You reply…

"It might — we need clear guardrails first."

"Only if we don't redesign how we work around it."

"It makes my ideas better, not my job smaller."

"Maybe, but it's too interesting to ignore."

"It gets me out of busywork. I'll take it."

What worries you most about AI at work?

Not actually saving as much time as promised

Errors, privacy and confidential data leaking

Everyone's work starting to sound the same

Teams using it in messy, inconsistent ways

Falling behind on the newest tools

Which motto sounds most like you?

"If I do it twice, I automate it."

"Two minds are better than one."

"Trust, but verify — mostly verify."
