How to do this task

Follow the method below, do the task, then check the result. Tool links show options, not extra steps you must complete.

Traditional approach
Write the main point in one sentence. List the questions a reader needs answered, order them into sections, and place a supporting example under each section.
Use AI

In the guide, write the topic, intended reader, publishing platform and the point you want readers to remember. Send these details and the prompt to one assistant. Choose one outline, then check that every section serves that point and that examples have real sources before drafting the article.

Prompt to use with your assistant
Produce title options, a section outline, and one opening. Flag any factual claim as needing verification. Avoid absolute or superlative claims.
What can go wrong
  • The headline promises to halve meeting administration. The brief has no measurement. Promise a checkable output instead: three lists for decisions, actions and open questions.
  • A suggested launch becomes an agreed decision. Keep proposals under open questions until someone confirms them; polished wording cannot approve a launch.
  • Missing owners and dates are filled in to make the outline tidy. Keep the source’s Friday wording and leave legal-review ownership unresolved until people confirm it.

Human check before use

  • Mark every factual claim as unverified until you check it
  • Check the evidence and advertising rules before using claims such as “best” or “always”.
  • Read the platform rules before publishing
Keep the final decision with a person

AI does not verify facts, arithmetic, identity or policy. Treat every generated line as a draft until you have checked it.
