The Move
One practical AI exercise in every edition — what to do, a prompt to copy, a tested example, and where it breaks. Newest first.
Redact a note before sharing
Use an assistant to mark internal-only passages in a non-sensitive note, then inspect what would remain before sending it to a wider audience.
Troubleshoot a stalled print job
Practice keeping an explanation tied to evidence, using a routine problem rather than giving an assistant account access.
Plan your departure from a task note
Keep this AI task bounded: share only the timing details needed and retain the final decision about the schedule.
Learn a routine with a two-question quiz
Today's stories turn on distinctions that are easy to blur. Practice reading precisely with familiar instructions you already have.
Draft a calm request for clarification
When a notice leaves permissions unclear, a focused question is more useful than assuming what its wording allows.
Compare your workflow with the written rules
Use the distinction between permission and assumption to prepare a clarification request—not to outsource an eligibility decision.
Turn a workflow into an approval checklist
The Gemini announcement leaves approval boundaries unresolved; defining your own requirements is a useful step before considering delegation.
Check your numbers before asking for a chart
Use a text-only check to separate stated figures from gaps before requesting a visual answer; this exercise does not require Intelligent UI.
Turn a task note into permission boundaries
The Wikimedia disclosure makes permission and containment the useful focus, even while attribution and outage responsibility remain unresolved.
Separate stated details from unanswered questions
Today’s watermark announcement leaves important details unresolved. Use the same distinction when turning an announcement or planning note into a decision.
Turn a project idea into a permission checklist
Before choosing software or hardware, separate the task you want done from assumptions about access and availability.
Separate an AI task from its access request
Apple’s announcement is a useful reason to examine what you want done before deciding what access to grant.
Separate stated facts from unanswered questions
Restricted rollouts and disputed permissions make precise reading useful before you decide what to adopt or allow.
Separate confirmed changes from future promises
Today’s acquisition and safety statements make the distinction between a commitment, a condition and a usable change especially useful.
