PAAF Discover How AI Already Helps You

Time to Complete: 10–15 minutes

Purpose

To help you recognize how AI is already embedded in your everyday tools—so you can build awareness, curiosity, and confidence using it for real work.

Why This Matters

Many of the apps you already use—like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Confluence, Zoom, and Slack—have AI features built in. By scanning what’s already available, you’ll uncover time-saving tools you may not even know are powered by AI. This activity is a great first step to:

• Build AI awareness

• Spark ideas for practical use

• Gain confidence in trying new features

Step 1: What Stood Out?

Review the list of AI-powered features in tools you already use (e.g., smart compose, meeting summaries, voice-to-text, automated ticket routing). Then answer:

• One thing I didn’t know AI could do: “I didn’t realize it could…”

• One AI feature I already use (even if I didn’t know it was AI): “I use this when I…”

• One thing I’d like to try next: “It might save me time if I used AI to…”

Step 2: Match Features to Your Workflow

My Regular Task	Related AI Feature(s)	Could This Help Me? (Y/N/Unsure)
Example: Writing weekly updates	Summarize tasks, auto-suggest phrasing	Y

Step 3: Feature Fit Quick Check

Review each of the four categories below. For each one, circle how useful you think it would be in your work:

AI Feature Category	Not Useful	Might Be Useful	Definitely Useful
🔍 What can AI help me find?	☐	☐	☐
⏳ How can AI save me time?	☐	☐	☐
🔧 Where can I use AI?	☐	☐	☐
🤖 Can AI be customized or trained?	☐	☐	☐

Step 4: Complete the Sentence

AI is most helpful to me when I need to…
