Lesson 1 of 5 in For team leads: roll out AI
Pick one AI tool for your team
You can't roll out 10 tools at once. One well-chosen tool, adopted by everyone, beats a messy stack that nobody uses.
Do this
Pick the most common writing task your team does. Compare 3 AI tools for that exact task. Choose one.
Try it now
Copy this prompt and describe your team's main writing task:
>My team writes [describe main writing task: reports, emails, proposals, etc.] every day. Compare these 3 tools for that task: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. Focus on: 1) Free-tier limits, 2) Ease of sharing outputs, 3) Data privacy for business use, 4) The one tool you'd pick. Keep it under 200 words. Be honest about downsides.
Check yourself
Did you settle on one tool? Do you know its free-tier limit? Is there a data privacy issue to check with IT?
What just happened
Tool selection is about fit, not features. The best AI tool for your team is the one everyone will actually use, not the one with the most capabilities. Start with one. Master it. Add a second only when the first is habitual.
