What if generative AI were to become your time-saving ally on a daily basis? In a way, it's a super-assistant that can lighten your day and boost your impact. Generative AI can efficiently take care of your professional writing (meeting minutes, e-mails, etc.) in just a few minutes. Ideal for repetitive, time-consuming tasks. The result? You free up up to 4 hours a week to devote to more strategic tasks, such as leading your team and taking decisions.
But where to start? Here are a few ideas:
1/ Using AI to quickly summarise your documents
Need to write up the minutes of a meeting? Ask AI to transform your notes into a clear, structured document. Estimated time saved: around 30 to 45 minutes saved per meeting.
A 40-page report to read? Ask for a comparative summary with strengths and weaknesses.
AI doesn't decide for you: it highlights what really deserves your attention.

You gain in accuracy and impact.

Saving time: new ideas in just a few minutes instead of several hours alone.
