Blueprints

Each blueprint is one small build you can finish in a sitting. It says why the build is worth doing, what the smallest useful version looks like, which safe sample inputs to use, which prompts to copy, how to check the result and how to break it on purpose.

• Ask AI to find where your draft misleads

  A draft you wrote yourself, revised by you after an AI pointed out every place it overstates, misleads or oversimplifies, with a record of which criticisms you accepted and why.

  Garden 30 minutes For: anyone who writes reports, proposals, grant applications
• Ask AI to play devil's advocate on a team decision

  A team decision that has been questioned before you commit to it, with a short table of the assumptions it rests on and one change or check you'll make because of them.

  Garden 25 minutes For: team lead, project manager, programme coordinator
• Build a style guide so AI drafts sound like you

  A one-page style guide, built from your own writing, that you paste into an AI tool before it drafts for you, so you spend less time rewriting its drafts into your voice.

  Garden 30 minutes, then a week of light use For: communications staff, programme manager, founder
• Compare AI tools on a task you actually do

  A choice of AI tool for one recurring task, based on a rubric you wrote before seeing any answers rather than habit, rankings or which answer sounded most confident.

  Garden 30 minutes For: anyone who uses AI at work, team lead, programme coordinator
• Hire and onboard an AI copilot for one piece of work

  An AI project that knows your role, your goals and one live initiative well enough to ask useful questions, push back on a weak plan, and suggest a next step you can judge against your own.

  Garden 30 minutes For: programme coordinator, project manager, team lead
• Let AI ask before it plans

  A plan for a real piece of work that fits your situation on the first or second try, because the details that were in your head made it into the request.

  Garden 20 minutes For: team lead, programme coordinator, event organiser
• Teach your AI assistant your team's jargon, one confirmed term at a time

  A short glossary of your team's internal terms that the AI found in your own notes, guessed at, and saved only after you confirmed or corrected each one, so later answers stop misreading your shorthand.

  Garden 25 minutes For: team lead, project manager, operations staff
• Turn messy notes into a status draft you can check

  A weekly status update that takes less time to write, points to the note behind every claim, and flags what is missing or contradictory instead of smoothing it over.

  Garden 25 minutes For: programme coordinator, project manager, team lead
• Write a handover brief before you give an agent a real task

  One task handed to an AI agent with a written brief, a decision about whether it was worth handing over, and a check of the result against the "done" line you wrote in advance.

  Garden 45 minutes, plus the agent's run time For: team lead, manager, programme coordinator
• Write a one-page build plan before you ask AI to make an app

  A one-page plan for a small app, with what it must do, what it leaves out and three milestones, that you can hand to any AI app builder so the first version matches what you meant and is easy to check.

  Garden 25 minutes For: operations staff, programme coordinator, small business owner
