Design an AI workflow with human checkpoints

AI saves time on parts of a task, not usually the whole thing. You will map a recurring task step by step, mark which steps AI drafts and which a human checks, estimate time saved honestly, and write what happens when it goes wrong.

⏱ 10–20 min · Works with or without AI · No signup

You will practise

  • Breaking a task into steps
  • Placing human review where errors are costly
  • Estimating time saved including checking time

No AI key needed. The guided template works for everyone.

  1. 1Brief

    Specific answers make better results — with or without AI.

  2. 2Make

    Pick a route. The template gives you a structure with [[blanks]] to fill in yourself. Your own key drafts it for you — then you still check it.

    See the exact prompt — copy it into any AI chat you already use
  3. 3Check
    The same rules run on every draft, human or AI. Most first drafts fail something — that is the point.
      Self-check — judgement no checker can make
    • 4Improve
      Fix one item at a time, then check again. Notice which fixes made it better — that is the skill.
      1. Run the check first.
    • 5Ship
      Use it for real: send it, post it or save it. Record what happened — that is your evidence of learning.

    Questions people ask
    What is an AI workflow?
    A repeatable sequence of steps where some are done by AI (drafting, sorting, summarising) and others by people or ordinary tools, with checks in between.
    How do I know AI actually saves time?
    Time the old way, then the new way including checking and fixing. Many “savings” disappear once checking is counted.
    Do I need an AI key to use this?
    No. The guided template teaches the same skill with no AI at all. If you add your own free key (Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras), the tool can also draft and revise. The key stays in your browser and requests go straight to that provider.
    Where is my work saved?
    In this browser only (local storage), until you copy or download it. Nothing you type is sent to Open Practice.
