AI Reality Lab

Does AI actually help with this task?

A summary takes little time to generate. Finding out whether it misses important details, and how much checking it needs, takes a closer look. In the AI Reality Lab, we examine one task from your day-to-day work.

One task and a clear basis for comparison

We choose a manageable case and agree what a useful result needs to achieve. This might involve reviewing documents, drafting a text or organising existing information.

We then try a suitable approach using approved tools and appropriate sample data. We compare it with the existing approach, including preparation, corrections and professional review.

What we record

You receive the task description, the approach tested, observed strengths and errors, and a recommendation on next steps. Measurements are distinguished from estimates.

A useful result in one test does not establish reliability in ongoing use. We therefore record which other cases need testing and who can assess the output.

CONVERSATION

Deciding against AI is a valid outcome

A better template may already solve the problem. The material may be unsuitable, or checking the output may take too much work. In that case, there is no reason to turn the task into an AI project.
