A month-end close, the way the workbench maps it. Copilot could draft 3 of these 5 steps, and each of those comes with a prompt you can copy.

Hi there,

Tell me if this sounds familiar.

Your company pays for an AI tool, maybe Copilot or ChatGPT, and most people tried it once and went back to working the way they always have.

You can see what it could do. Every week you watch coworkers copy numbers from one system into another and chase the same approvals. We call that robot work: any task a person repeats by hand that software should be doing.

Finding it takes time, because the steps of a task usually live in one person's head, and one task can mix steps a machine could take with steps that need someone's judgment.

We built the workbench to help you sort them. You lay out a task step by step. The workbench marks the steps AI can take and gives you a prompt for each one, written for the AI tool your company already has. It also keeps a record of the process before and after you changed it, so when your boss asks what AI has done for the team, you can show them.

The workbench comes out of our client work. At Primus Builders, the team wrote the proposal that won a $405M contract, and AI helped them search the RFP documents and check their answers before they submitted.

Thanks for taking a look. Set up your workbench and map one task. Then email me and tell me what you think.

Here's what's inside.

These are screens from the workbench, filled in with the example map and a sample company.

Map a task step by step

Every step of a task in order, with who does it, the system it happens in, and the Copilot prompts for the steps a machine can take. The example inside is a general contractor's submittal review, and you can drag the map around and copy any prompt.

Two steps on the submittal map, each marked Copilot could draft this, with a count of prompts

Keep score on the outcomes your boss cares about

Pick the results you're after, from faster bids to fewer hours in AP, and the dashboard keeps score. That record is what you take to your manager.

Checklists that draft themselves

Each readiness item takes one plain-English answer. Draft my answer writes the first pass from what the workbench already knows, and you correct it.

What our clients said about the work.

Both quotes come from our published case studies.

“AI was instrumental in helping us quickly experiment and rate our responses before final submission.”

Rebecca Elliott, Marketing VP, Primus Builders

“Automation Tactics helped us cut through the noise and build a realistic AI strategy that actually fits our organization. They guided us in standing up internal AI champions, developing an AI governance policy, and rolling out Microsoft Copilot strategically. We now have a clear timeline, budget, and success metrics for our long-term rollout.”
