Your First AI Win — Bandwidth

How this works: Fill in the fields below and your prompt assembles automatically at the bottom of Step 3. No copy-pasting between boxes. Just your actual situation, turned into a prompt you can run right now.

Step 01

Pick your task

Choose the one that sounds most like something on your plate right now. This will populate Step 3 automatically.

Summarize exit interview themes into a leadership update

Draft a communication to employees or managers

Turn messy notes from a meeting into a clean summary or action list

Write a first draft of a job posting or role description

Create talking points for a difficult conversation

Not sure? Pick the one that showed up on your to-do list most recently.

Step 02

Fill in three blanks

Type your answers below. The prompt in Step 3 updates as you go.

What are you giving it?

a document, a set of notes, a list of responses, a rough draft — be specific

What do you need back?

a summary, a draft email, a bullet list, talking points — one thing

Who will read this output?

Your VP? The leadership team? Frontline managers? This changes everything about tone and depth.

Tip First time? Use a made-up example. Fake names, a fictional team, rough numbers. You’ll learn just as much — without any risk to real data. Real data can wait until run two.

Step 03

Your prompt — ready to copy

Fill in Steps 1 and 2 above and watch this update. When it looks right, copy it and paste it into Claude.

I need help with a repeating HR task. Task: [select a task in Step 1] Here’s what I’m giving you: [fill in Step 2] Here’s what I need back: [fill in Step 2] This output is for: [fill in Step 2 — match tone and depth to this audience] If anything is unclear or missing, ask me before guessing. Flag anything that needs my judgment before you include it.

Paste your actual content below the prompt in Claude. Then hit enter.

Step 04

Talk back to it

The first output probably won’t be perfect. That’s fine — that’s not how this works.
Read what it gave you. Then tell it what to fix:

“Make it shorter by two paragraphs.”

“The tone is too formal — make it sound more like me.”

“Add a section on next steps.”

“The second bullet isn’t right — here’s what it should say: ___”

One round of feedback usually gets you to something usable.

You’re done when —

✓
You could send or share it with less than 10 minutes of editing
✓
You didn’t have to rewrite it from scratch
✓
You know what you’d do differently next time

What most people find: The second time takes half as long — because you already have the prompt, you know what to give it, and you know how to tell it what’s wrong.

The goal today isn’t a perfect output. It’s your first real handoff.

What comes next. Once this feels repeatable, you’re ready to move from using AI as a tool to using it as a teammate — assigning whole workflows, not just single tasks. If you want to map out what that looks like for your team specifically, that’s what I do.
