Last week, I gave a presentation on cutting manual tasks with AI.

I met Kay, one of your fellow newsletter subscribers, in the wild.

We talked about how she uses the newsletter content as an AI timesaver library.

In the talk, I built a landing page in a minute, set up deep research to automate opportunity tracking, and created an opportunity-tracking AI agent in just a few minutes.

What separates you from everyone else is how to apply AI and focus on things that impact; otherwise, you will get lost in all the tools and ways you can use it.

What would matter if started today, 12 months from now?

While others use AI for basic tasks and apply AI to do more than save time.

Here are a few ideas to get you going.

For Government Contractors:

Opportunity Tracking: Save 5+ hours weekly
How: Tell ChatGPT to "Create a daily scan template for FedBizOpps and GSA that extracts and ranks opportunities matching our past performance in [your areas]."
Proposal Research: Cut research time by 70%
How: Upload your RFP to Claude and ask: "Extract all requirements, create a compliance matrix, and suggest evidence from our past performance that addresses each requirement."

For Work Reporting:

Analysis Spreadsheets: Transform 2-hour tasks to 15-minute
How: Tell ChatGPT: "Create a prompt that converts this raw data [paste sample] into weekly insights with trends, anomalies, and recommended actions."
Status Reports: Automate 90% of weekly updates
How: Create a template in Claude: "Review these project notes and draft a professional status report with accomplishments, challenges, and next steps following our company format."

For Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders:

Lead Qualification: Pre-qualify leads in seconds, not hours
How: Build a ChatGPT prompt: "Create a scoring system based on our ideal customer profile [details] that ranks new leads from 1-10 based on conversion potential."
Content Automation: Create a week's content in one session
How: Ask Claude: "Convert this core concept [your idea] into 5 social posts, 1 email, and 3 conversation starters for different platforms, maintaining our brand voice."

Pick one task from above or something you care about.

Build an AI experiment today - whether an agent, chatbot, automation or using an AI assistant in a new way.

The strategic approach turns simple time-saving into opportunity.
