What Can I Use AI For?
AI helps with writing, summarising, analysis, drafting, and research. Most value comes from matching AI to your specific daily tasks—not generic use cases.
AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT excel at tasks involving text and structured information: writing drafts, summarising documents, analysing data, researching topics, and generating options. The key is to map these capabilities to your actual work—the tasks that feel manual, repetitive, or slow. Use cases by role and task type give you a starting point; your best use cases come from your specific context.

- Finance: Report drafting, reconciliation notes, commentary, variance analysis
- Legal: Contract review, research memos, clause drafting, compliance summaries
- Marketing: Copy, briefs, competitor analysis, campaign ideas

AI use cases by task

How to discover use cases for your work
Ask: What tasks are manual, repetitive, or slow? What involves text, data, or structured information? Can I describe what success looks like? If yes, AI may help. Start with one task, try Copilot or ChatGPT, then expand. Tools like Clairable guide you through discovering personal use cases matched to your role.
See what is an AI use case, and read how to use Copilot and how to use ChatGPT for tool-specific guidance.
Examples of personal productivity wins
Common wins include: drafting client emails in minutes instead of 20; summarising a long report into a one-page brief; generating meeting agendas and action items; researching a topic and getting a structured brief; brainstorming options for a decision.
