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
