The 5 AI Workflows (Quick Guide)

Below is the exact framework demonstrated in the video — designed for real executive environments.

1) Email Threads → 5-Bullet Clarity

Stop rereading long threads. Pull out only what matters:

  • Decision

  • Still open

  • Response needed

  • Due date

  • Next step

📌 This alone can save hours per week.

2) Replies → Two Draft Options (Then Polish)

Ask AI for options, not answers:

  • Short + direct

  • Warm + collaborative

Choose the tone, then do a quick human edit so it still sounds like you.

3) Meeting Notes → Decision Summary

Executives don’t need transcripts. They need clarity.

  • Decisions

  • Owners

  • Deadlines

  • Risks / blockers

  • Next steps

📌 This is where trust is built.

4) Weekly Update → Visibility Builder

Use four simple sections (bullets only):

  • Wins

  • Decisions needed

  • Watch-outs

  • Next priorities

📌 This makes your work visible without over-explaining.

5) SOPs → Promotable Value

Turn repeat work into documented value:

  • Purpose

  • Steps

  • Templates / tools

  • Exceptions

  • Escalation

📌 This is how assistants move from “support” to “strategic.”

If You Only Start With One…

Start with Meeting Notes → Decision Summary

It’s the fastest workflow that:

  • Reduces executive friction

  • Improves decision velocity

  • Positions you as a strategic operator, not just a task manager
