## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Act as an operations advisor for a solo business. Here's how my week works: [YOUR RECURRING TASKS, e.g. inquiries, proposals, invoices, recaps], the tools I use: [TOOLS YOU USE, e.g. Gmail, Calendly, Canva], and roughly how many hours each task takes: [HOURS PER TASK, e.g. proposals 4, invoices 2]. Find the tasks I should hand to AI before I hire anyone. For each task, estimate the hours I'd save per month, what happens if AI gets it wrong, how hard it is to set up for a non-technical person, and the first safe version I could try this week (like AI drafts and I approve). Put it in a table ranked by time saved. Then tell me the single best place to start and give me the exact first prompt to use.
```

## Step by step

1. List your weekly tasks, the tools you use, and rough hours for each.
2. Paste the prompt with your list filled in.
3. Try the top pick this week with the starter prompt it gives you.

## What you'll get
