AI+ At Work: Advanced Workbook
Practice companion to AI+ At Work: Advanced
Practice companion to T1-07.
You understood the AI Capability Progression. Now climb it.
You finished *AI+ At Work: Advanced*. The Custom Assistant is still an idea in a browser tab, and Monday looks exactly like it did last month. This workbook puts you back at your own desk: build one real Custom Assistant, chain a workflow with an approval gate that fits its stakes, run the Delegation Readiness Check on your most tempting task, and govern all of it with the DELEGATE Protocol — before anything runs without you watching. Built by an AI engineering firm for professionals who understood the progression perfectly well — and just needed the structured push to climb it.
- 43 structured exercises across four weeks — built entirely from your own workflows, tool stack, and agent candidates
- 1 calibration drill — catch a seeded DELEGATE governance gap before it reaches a real deployment
- A real Custom Assistant and a real chained workflow — installed, tested, and matched to an approval gate that fits their stakes
- The Delegation Readiness Check — an honest verdict on your most agent-tempting task, run before you deploy
- A complete DELEGATE canvas — every deployment governed on paper before it runs without you watching
A professional who has read T1-07 cover to cover — or the parts most relevant to their role — and is ready to apply it. They can describe the AI Capability Progression and locate themselves on it. They know what a Custom Assistant is, roughly what a chained workflow is, and roughly what an AI agent is. What they have not yet done is build any of it against their own real work. They are an analyst, a comms lead, a project manager, an HR generalist, a professional services associate, a team lead, a solopreneur, or a small business owner.
Also for:A team of colleagues working through T1-07 together and using this workbook as a shared practice arc; an informal AI champion structuring a team rollout (COR-01); a solopreneur or SME owner running it against their own operation (STA-04, COR-05); an L&D lead or training provider running it as a facilitated CPD programme.
- Has mapped their own recurring work into workflows, screened candidates with the Workflow Worth-It Check, and built one working Custom Assistant for a real recurring task
- Has built one chained, multi-tool workflow from trigger to approval gate to final action, with observability and a documented shutdown path
- Has applied the Delegation Readiness Check to a real agent candidate and decided, on the evidence, whether to delegate or build a governed workflow instead — and has audited their own team's AI practice against the four team-level failure modes
- Has caught the seeded gaps in a deliberately incomplete DELEGATE canvas, then completed a full eight-component canvas for every real deployment built during the workbook
