Now that you are more aware of how ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) like
Claude and Copilot work, you hopefully understand that the key to unlocking the full potential of
AI isn’t just about understanding the technology—it’s about identifying where AI can streamline
tasks, save time, and add value to your business processes.
While creating effective prompts is a vital skill, a more impactful approach is to start with a use
case. This means analyzing a business process, breaking it into tasks, and identifying where AI
can drive efficiency and innovation.
This chapter explores practical AI applications in business, with real-world use cases and
examples of prompts you can use to harness its power.
Once you identify a specific use case, creating targeted prompts becomes simple and effective.
We’ll showcase examples of how AI can transform key business functions, from recruiting to
sales, and provide actionable prompts that you can adapt to your needs to help put these ideas
into action.
Please note that in all of our examples, it is critical to keep the “Human in the Loop.” That means
that any output generated still needs to be reviewed by an informed individual who can judge
the quality of the response generated. While AI’s advancement has been truly extraordinary, it
is still capable of errors, and having a knowledgeable person to judge the quality of the output is
still very important.
And FYI:
While this guide highlights a few practical examples, you

Success eBook—a comprehensive resource to take your AI
capabilities further.

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT (developed by OpenAI), Claude (by
Start with a Use Case:
Anthropic), Gemini (by Google), Perplexity AI, and Copilot (by Microsoft) are at
the forefront of AI research and development. These models have been designed
The Framework
to understand and generate human-like text based on the input they receive.
They differ in their underlying architecture, capabilities, training data, and
intended applications. Here’s an overview of each model and how they stand out
from one another:
The first step in applying AI effectively is to start by identifying everyday tasks where AI can
help. Whether it’s drafting emails, summarizing reports, or automating routine processes, AI
can be integrated into your workflow in ways that save time and improve efficiency.
Here’s a simple framework to help you get started:
1. Look at Your Daily Tasks: Identify repetitive or time-
consuming tasks that take up valuable resources.
2. Break Them into Steps: Divide the task into smaller,
manageable steps that can potentially be handled by AI.
3. See Where AI Can Help: Identify tasks where AI can save
time, improve accuracy, or reduce costs. Ask yourself the
question: Could AI handle this faster, with better accuracy, or
free up time for higher-value work?
4. Test and Iterate: Use targeted prompts to explore AI’s
potential in those areas, refining as you go. Evaluate the results
before scaling.
By following this framework, businesses can ensure that AI adoption aligns with their goals
instead of just using AI for the sake of it.
Now, let’s explore key AI use cases in different business functions.

Conclusion:
The Future of AI in Business: Agents, Ethics,
and the Human Element
AI is not a silver bullet that can solve all problems or accelerate productivity in every domain.
As with any technology, it has limitations and is not always perfect. However, businesses that
strategically integrate AI into their workflows can unlock new efficiencies, enhance decision-
making, and drive innovation.
The future of AI is rapidly evolving, with AI agents set to play a transformative role in business
operations. These autonomous systems will be capable of executing multi-step processes,
making decisions, and even collaborating with human teams in more advanced ways. As we
move toward this agentic future, businesses must consider not just how AI fits into their
operations today but how it will shape their industry in the years to come.
This evolution brings critical discussions around AI privacy, security, and governance. As AI
becomes more embedded in business processes, organizations need clear policies on data
usage, compliance with regulations, and transparency in AI-generated content. AI literacy
is also becoming essential—not just for technical teams but across the entire organization.
Leaders and employees alike must understand how AI works, its benefits, and its risks to
ensure responsible adoption.
More than ever, businesses must actively engage in conversations about AI, encouraging
discussions across departments to identify opportunities, address concerns, and build
confidence in its use. A well-defined AI strategy and adoption plan will be key to maximizing its
potential while mitigating risks.
Most importantly, as AI continues to advance, the role of human oversight remains
irreplaceable. Keeping humans in the loop—whether reviewing AI-generated insights, validating
decisions, or applying ethical considerations—ensures that AI remains a tool that enhances
human capabilities rather than replacing them.
By becoming more proficient with AI tools like ChatGPT and others showcased in this book,
businesses can begin leveraging AI effectively today while preparing for the future. AI is not
just a trend—it’s a shift in how work is done, and those who adopt it thoughtfully will be best
positioned for long-term success.
