Post 1 · Slide 1 of 7
AI can do the heavy drafting.
The final call stays with the person accountable for it.
Slide 2
Drafting is work I can delegate.
Accountability isn't.
Slide 3
How a draft moves in my workflow:
- 1. Brief: I define the drafting task
- 2. Draft: AI writes a first version
- 3. Queue: the draft waits
- 4. Approve: a person decides
Slide 4
A polished draft is still a draft.
Looking finished isn't the same as being decided.
Slide 5
| AI can | Stays with a person |
|---|---|
| Work from my brief | Making the decision |
| Draft a reply | Approving the send |
| Draft a decision note | Owning the outcome |
No identifying details go into the tool.
Slide 6
Before anything moves, I look for three things:
- Who is accountable?
- What was decided?
- Who approved the send?
Slide 7
AI drafts.
A person decides.
The send gets its own yes.

Caption
AI does a lot of the heavy drafting in my work. The decision is a different job, and I keep the two apart.
Here's how it runs. I give AI a bounded brief, then it writes a first version. That draft waits in a queue until the person accountable reads it and decides. When the call is mine, I make it. When it belongs to someone else, it goes to them.
I keep identifying details out of the tool, too.
This isn't a rulebook. It's simply how I've set up my own workflow, and it lets me stay curious about AI without losing track of who owns what.
