AI can be a force multiplier for HR, but only if you use it with the right habits. This session focuses on the practical routines that separate AI power users from occasional users, so you can spot high-impact use cases, save hours each week, and bring your team along with confidence.
The superusers who reclaim 30% of their time run the same loop: spot a friction in the workday, try AI on it before they know how it will help, then keep what works. Whatever you are procrastinating on is often the best place to point it first.
The highest return usually sits in the middle of the range, short of full automation. Choose the least amount of AI that does the job well; simpler builds break less and cost less to run.
A basic agent is a preloaded chat: a gem, a custom GPT, a Claude skill. Give it a clear job and the context it needs, then refine it against a few real tasks. A voice twin that writes in your style is the one nearly every superuser keeps on hand.
Most people have too many AI ideas, not too few. Sort them across the four roles AI can play (automation, assistant, analyst, thought partner), then rank them with the FIRE Score: Frequency, Impact, AI Readiness, Ease. Dream big, start small.
