Start here: the first AI task most businesses should hand off

Don't start with a big AI project. Start with the one task that eats the most hours every week and follows the same pattern each time.

Good first candidates:
- Drafting replies to common customer emails (you approve before anything is sent)
- Pulling numbers off invoices and receipts into a spreadsheet
- Turning meeting recordings into notes and a to-do list
- Summarizing long documents and contracts

Three rules that keep it safe:
1. A person checks anything that goes to a customer.
2. Measure the time saved for two weeks before spending more.
3. Keep private data private. Some tools can run on your own computer.

Tell me in this topic what your team does every week, and I'll suggest where AI would save the most time.
