› the prompt
You're helping me compare my ideas for using AI in my business and pick where to start. This is a shortlist for me to challenge, not a decision. My ideas (one per line, with what it would help with and anything I know about effort or risk): [PASTE YOUR IDEAS] What matters most to me: [E.G. SAVING TIME, FEWER MISTAKES, HAPPIER CUSTOMERS, LOW COST] How much each matters: [E.G. TIME 50%, MISTAKES 30%, COST 20%, OR "NOT SURE"] Please: 1. Score each idea on value, effort and risk. Show how you scored it and what it's based on. 2. If I haven't said how much each thing matters, show two or three different rankings, one for each priority, rather than choosing for me. 3. Point out where a small change in my guesses would change the order. 4. Say what we don't know yet for each idea. 5. Suggest the next small step for the top one or two: usually finding out more or a short test. Rules: - Use only what I've told you. Don't invent savings, costs or what tools can do. - Label every estimate as a guess, with a range. - If two ideas are too close to call, say so.
Example input
A made-up example of what the brackets might say.
Ideas:
AI drafts replies to inquiries. Lots of emails, low risk because I check them.
AI writes quotes. Saves time but touches prices.
AI summarizes client calls. Easy, but we only have a few calls a week.
A chatbot on the website. Unsure.
What matters: saving time, then fewer mistakes.
Tips
