AI without the jargon

Know where to start.
Know what to ask.

AI can feel vague when every tool promises everything. This toolkit breaks it into practical pieces: what AI can help with, how to ask for useful work, where it fits your business, and what still needs human judgment.

01

Discover useful AI opportunities

See concrete business tasks where AI may save time, improve consistency or help you think through a problem.

02

Get better ChatGPT results

Use ready-made prompts, professional perspectives and shortcuts instead of staring at an empty chat box.

03

Evaluate your own business

Identify recurring work, missed opportunities and processes where AI may—or may not—be worth using.

04

Use AI with better guardrails

Keep privacy, accuracy and human review in the workflow instead of treating AI output as automatically correct.

Inside the toolkit

Six resources.
Real examples.

Here is exactly the kind of material you'll receive. These examples come from the actual spreadsheets in the download.

01
CHATGPT SHORTCUTS

ChatGPT Slash Command Library

A library of quick prompt shortcuts for telling ChatGPT what kind of answer you want. It includes official or historical UI commands where documented and clearly labels user-defined shortcuts so you know the difference.

/searchUse when you need current facts, news, prices, recent information or sources.
/truthAsk for a candid, evidence-focused assessment that separates facts, assumptions, risks and uncertainty.
/reasonA documented historical macOS slash-menu reasoning option, clearly marked because current model and UI names have changed.
02
200 USEFUL PERSPECTIVES

ChatGPT Role Prompt Library

Choose a professional perspective that fits the problem you are working on. Each role includes what that perspective is useful for and a detailed starter prompt—not just “act as a CEO.”

CEOFocuses ChatGPT on company direction, strategic choices, resources, competitive advantage, execution and enterprise-level risk.
COOFocuses on operating models, processes, capacity, accountability, bottlenecks, service quality and scalable systems.
Chief Strategy OfficerFocuses on strategy, priorities, competitive position, resource allocation, trade-offs and measurable outcomes.

Missed inquiriesDo customer inquiries sometimes wait too long or get missed?
Appointment back-and-forthDoes scheduling require repeated messages or calls?
06
PRACTICAL AI GUARDRAILS

Small Business AI Safety, Privacy & Accuracy Checklist

A practical checklist for everyday business AI use. It identifies information that deserves caution, information you should not enter into general AI chats, and situations where human review matters.

Customer personal informationUse only what is necessary and avoid sensitive customer data unless the tool and business use are approved for it.
Passwords & login credentialsNever paste passwords, recovery codes, private keys or authentication secrets into prompts.
Payment-card dataDo not use general AI chat as a place to process or store card numbers or CVV data.
Who this is for

You don't need to be
an AI person.

This toolkit is for owners, managers and small teams who are curious about AI but want practical business uses—not technical theory.

01

Brand new to AI

Start with the 100 AI ideas and the small-business prompt library. They show what is possible without assuming technical knowledge.

02

Already using ChatGPT

Use the roles and shortcut library to make your requests clearer and your results more deliberate.

03

Considering AI for work

Use the readiness assessment to identify where AI could solve an actual business problem instead of adding another tool.

04

Want sensible guardrails

Keep the safety checklist nearby so convenience does not outrun privacy, accuracy or human judgment.

Keep it. Use it. Share it with your team.

One download.
All six resources.

The toolkit arrives as one ZIP file containing six Excel-compatible spreadsheets plus a Start Here guide. The spreadsheets can also be opened or imported in Google Sheets.

These resources provide general educational guidance. AI can make mistakes. Important legal, financial, employment, privacy, safety and other high-impact decisions should receive appropriate human or professional review.
