DOC QW-HOME-01 / FIELD MANUAL

You are already paying for AI you have not turned on.

Name the tools you work in. Get the AI features hiding inside them, ranked by what to try first, with the exact clicks for each. Nothing new to buy and no IT ticket, because every recommendation is a feature your employer already licenses.

01 / The method

4 steps · repeat weekly
Step 01

Map your stack

List the tools you already work in. Email, calendar, meetings, docs, sheets.

Step 02

Find what is already there

The directory shows which of your tools ship AI you can switch on unaided, and which do not.

Step 03

Run one win

Pick the single win with the best time to value. Run it this week on real work.

Step 04

Log it, then repeat

Time the task before and after. Keep what pays. Add the next win.

02 / The problem this solves

Why generic advice fails
What actually happens

You have heard about AI constantly for two years. Your employer has already paid for tools that ship real AI features. Those features sit switched off, because nobody has told you which of them are worth your next thirty minutes.

Generic advice cannot answer that question. The answer depends entirely on which tools you happen to work in, and capability is distributed unevenly enough that a general recommendation is close to worthless. The deepest app in this directory exposes 574 distinct actions. The median exposes 19.

What you are choosing between
  • A post or video about AI. Cannot know which tools you have, so the advice is generic by construction.
  • A prompt library or AI course. Teaches a chatbot, not the six tools where your work actually lives.
  • Another AI subscription. Adds a tool while the AI you already pay for stays switched off.
  • A company AI training session. A webinar nobody applies on Monday morning.

03 / What this is not

Bounded on purpose

Not a platform migration

It ends with a list of wins for your own stack. Nothing to install, nothing to move.

Not a scorecard

No grade, no percentile, no readiness level. You are not being measured against anyone.

Not a six month program

One person, one week, one win. If the deeper work is ever worth doing, that is a separate decision.

04 / Questions

Do I need to buy anything?

No. Every recommendation is a feature your employer already licenses. If a win needs a new purchase or an IT ticket, it does not belong on your list.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Nothing here involves code, an API, or an automation platform. Each win is a sequence of clicks inside an app you already have open.

Will this automate my job away?

It will not, and it does not try to. Of the 589 apps in the directory, only 34 can act on their own. Everything else waits for you to ask.

How accurate is the time saved?

The minutes are estimates for one person at typical volume, not measurements. They are labeled as estimates everywhere they appear. Time the task yourself before and after, and keep the wins that actually pay.

What if my tool is not listed?

The catalog reaches 1,000 apps and is not the whole software market, so absence here does not mean your tool lacks AI. Check the directory first, since 83 entries have been checked against the vendor documentation directly.

Start with the tools you already open. Tick the ones you use. The blueprint takes about a minute and costs nothing.
