Work Professional Guide
A 7-step path for office workers and team leads to share reports, proposals and meeting notes with AI. Start by writing down the goal and output format of one small task.
- Share repetitive tasks with AI and focus on the decisions that matter.
- Check the facts and numbers in AI drafts. The final decision is yours.
- Share effective questions and ways of working with your team, so you can work better together.
This guide is not about learning to . You learn to share everyday work — reports, proposals, meeting notes, sorting documents — with an AI. You start with prompting tips and end with your team working the same way.

When you finish this guide, you can…
- decide which parts of your job to hand to AI and which to keep for yourself.
- turn a vague request into a clear , and save the ones that worked to use again.
- check AI drafts for mistakes and keep private information out of your prompts.

1
Keyboard practice
Optional
Skip it if you're already quick. Most of your time working with an AI is time spent writing requirements. Slow typing is a direct tax on that.

2
AI fundamentals
Required
Knowing what AI is good and bad at is what lets you decide which work to hand over and which to keep. The beginner track alone is enough for the job.

3
Talking with AI
Required
Bring a real work document and talk it through with your Lyen learning buddy. "Summarize this" gets far less than "three sentences for an executive briefing, lead with the numbers."

-
4
Prompt practice
Required
First, compare in the lesson a vague question with one that gives a goal, context and output format. Then ask Lyen both. Say which answer fits your goal, and check that the facts are right.

Files and image generation
Optional
Planned: the file and image workspace is not yet available here. This step is a preview of future activities.

Team collaboration
Optional
The whole team working the same way does far more than one person getting faster. Create a group and share the prompts and materials that worked.
Tips that make it easier
- Don't invent new work. Take one task you already have and do that one with an AI first.
- Save the prompts that worked. The same task will come around again next month.
- Use only material you are allowed to share outside. Changing names and numbers does not hide whose document it is, and it can change the answer. When practising, use a small made-up example.
