MANAGER

Dave, you’ve been given an AI license.

DAVE

Okay. For what?

MANAGER

For AI.

DAVE

MANAGER

MANAGER

There’s a deck. I’ll send you the deck. The deck has use cases.

DAVE

What are the use cases?

MANAGER

Summarizing, drafting, and brainstorming.

DAVE

Those are the three things the tool does.

MANAGER

DAVE

Can I put our customer data in it?

MANAGER

DAVE

So what should I do this week?

MANAGER

DAVE

MANAGER

Nothing. Just log in. Adoption is measured Friday.
