Stop trying to use AI for things it's bad at — start using it for the dozens of things it does well.
A mental model for when to reach for AI and when not to. You'll stop wasting prompts (and trust) on things AI can't do, and start using it for the dozens of things it does great.
The idea
AI is great at three jobs: drafting (anything that starts with a blank page), sorting (categorizing piles into buckets), and extracting (pulling structured data from messy input). It's bad at exact math and bad at "what's true today" without a tool to look it up.
The win: every prompt you write knows what it's asking for.
No surprises — here is every tool this training uses, including the MCP connectors, and what it actually costs per month.
| Tool | Monthly cost | What it's for |

$0-20/mo | Free tiers work for this lesson |
Typical spend: from $0/month — most owners start on the free tiers and upgrade only the one tool they use daily.

Emails, proposals, descriptions, social posts, first-pass quotes, replies, internal memos.
Triaging an inbox, tagging support tickets, prioritizing leads, deduplicating contacts.

Pick one workflow, replace 80% of it in a month — and pay back the rest of your AI experiments.
There is no 'best' — there's the one that's best for you. Here's how to pick in 15 minutes.
80% replace is the right ambition — the last 20% is where you stay in the loop.
