From AI task to AI use case
A use case isn’t a prompt — it’s a workflow with a role, a data boundary, a review step, and an outcome. This module teaches you to turn a vague “we use AI for X” into something a team can decide on.
What you will learn
- Write a one-paragraph use case from a vague description.
- Identify the role, tool, data, and review step in any use case.
- Spot the difference between a task and a workflow.
