Explore the idea with an example
Identify a recurring task with a clear benefit and low consequences if a draft is wrong. Start small and measure the time spent checking as well as generating.
Choose one repeatable task with a clear trigger, such as planning meals on Sunday. Record the information needed and remove private details that are not essential. Define the output and who will check it. Start with a manual prompt rather than connecting several apps at once. A stable routine is easier to improve when you can tell which step caused a problem.
