Map Your Work. Find Your AI Opportunity.
Lay out how you actually do a piece of your work, step by step. This tool will help you notice which steps are worth exploring with AI, explain why in plain language, and generate a ready-to-use prompt you can take into Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or any AI tool to start building something real.
Which part of your work are you mapping?
Pick whatever applies — you can map more than one. This just helps orient the tool; you'll set the lens again for each individual step below, since a single workflow can touch more than one part of your role.
Build your process map
Add one step at a time, in order, the way you'd describe it to a colleague. Don't worry about getting it perfect — a rough, honest description works better than a polished one. Answer the quick diagnostic under each step; that's what the tool uses to spot opportunities later.
Where to Take This
Any of these can work — pick whichever you already have open.
Copy Everything at Once
Bundles every opportunity below into a single prompt, so you can drop it all into one AI conversation and work through them together, one at a time.
Before You Go
These prompts are a starting point, not a finished tool. Try them on a few real examples first, keep a human check on anything before it reaches students, colleagues, or your data — and come back and re-map anytime your work changes. Questions?
