What this check covers

  • 1

    Briefing the AI

    The quality of your brief decides whether the first draft is usable or a rewrite.

  • 2

    Verifying output

    Assistants state wrong things confidently — checking before acting is the core safety habit.

  • 3

    Tool choice

    Matching the task to the right tool and feature saves more time than any prompt trick.

  • 4

    Data privacy

    Knowing what can and can't go into a chatbot protects you, your employer, and your clients.

  • 5

    Iterating

    The second prompt — specific, corrective feedback — is where good output actually comes from.

About the Everyday AI Skills skill check

AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini are now within reach of almost every desk job — but there's a big gap between having access to them and getting real work out of them. The difference isn't technical. It comes down to habits: how you brief an assistant, how you check its work, and where you draw the line on what you share.

This 3-minute check puts you in five everyday work situations and asks what you'd do: briefing an assistant so the first draft is actually usable, verifying output before you act on it, picking the right tool for the job, handling sensitive information safely, and turning a flat draft into a good one.

No code, no jargon — just an honest read on whether your current habits are getting you AI's full value or leaving most of it on the table.

Sample question · 1 of 5 · Briefing the AI

You want an AI assistant to draft an email declining a vendor's renewal offer. Which brief gets the best first draft?

  1. Write me a professional email to a vendor
  2. Decline the renewal politely, keep the door open for next year, keep it under 150 words
  3. Write several versions so I can pick whichever sounds most professional
  4. Ask the assistant what it thinks the email should say before giving it details
