Should you use AI for this?
Not every task benefits from AI. Five quick questions. One clear verdict. A confidence score that tells you whether to press go or do it yourself.

Each answer adjusts your score. Some choices unlock a live insight that explains the risk or opportunity in plain language.
What kind of task is this?
AI is strongest at drafting and research — tasks where a decent starting point saves time. It's weakest where human judgement, empathy, or accountability matter most.
Five dimensions that decide AI fit
Each question targets a different risk or opportunity. Together they tell you whether AI will speed you up — or quietly introduce errors you can’t catch.
Task type
AI shines at drafting, research, and brainstorming. It stumbles where human judgement or empathy carries the work.
Stakes
Internal drafts can live with a wobble. Legal, safety, and compliance work can’t — so the bar for AI output rises fast.
Data sensitivity
Most AI tools send inputs to external servers. Sensitive data changes the answer from “which prompt?” to “which policy?”
Your expertise
AI output sounds confident whether it’s right or wrong. Without the knowledge to spot errors, confident output is the trap.
Time value
Prompting, reviewing, and editing takes time. If the task is quick enough already, the AI loop may be slower than just doing it.
Stop starting prompts you shouldn’t be writing
Choosing when not to use AI is half the skill. AI Tutorium teaches the decision, the prompt, and the review process — together.
