LEAGUE 1 OF 5 · PLAYING ON SUNDAYS
AI Chat
You give AI a question and it answers. You decide what to ask, what information to provide, whether the answer is right and what happens next. Most of the time you get a generic answer and go back and forth to steer it until you get something usable, which can take a while.
WHO DOES WHAT IN THIS LEAGUE
You
Decide what to ask, provide all the information, judge whether the answer is right, and decide what happens next.
The AI
Answers the question in front of it, from what you gave it, right now. It forgets once the chat ends.
What it looks like in practice.
Four everyday examples from different parts of a business.

Hi Magda,
Thanks for the discussion today. It was good to review the latest sales outcomes and see that performance is tracking well.
I’ll let you know asap on the next steps and keep you in the loop as things progress.
SALES
Reply to a tricky client email
You paste the thread and ask for a polite answer. It drafts something reasonable, then you rewrite the parts it couldn't know: your pricing, your history with this client.
ADMIN
Summarise a 30-page contract
You upload the PDF and ask for key terms and risks. A useful first pass, but you still check every clause yourself.
MARKETING
Ten ideas for a LinkedIn post
The ideas stay generic until you explain your audience and your offer. And you explain it again in every new chat.
LEADERSHIP
Prepare for a hard conversation
You describe the situation and role-play it. Helpful, but it only knows what you typed into this one conversation.
You know you're here when…
- Everyone uses their own tool and account
- Good prompts live in a few people's heads
- Results depend on who is asking
- Lots of copy and paste between AI and your systems
Watch out for
- Company or client data pasted into tools nobody approved
- Generic answers that need heavy rework
- Time saved by one person that never spreads to the team
What it takes to play here reliably
You're in a league when your systems run reliably there, not when you've tried it once. And higher isn't automatically better: the right league is the one that fits the work.
- An approved tool with clear rules on what data goes in
- Basic prompting skills across the whole team
- A shared place for the prompts that work
