AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are best thought of as a fast, eager assistant who writes first drafts. They don't know your clients or your market unless you tell them, and they sometimes make things up. Used well, they turn messy notes into clean drafts in seconds.

Step by step

Know what it's good at
Drafting listing descriptions, emails and texts, summarizing long documents, turning voice notes into to-do lists, brainstorming social posts, and explaining things in plain English.
Know what it's bad at
Facts it wasn't given (it may invent square footage, schools or rates), legal or tax advice, and anything needing current local data unless it searches the web with sources.
Pick one boring task
Choose a weekly task you dislike: writing follow-ups, recapping calls, or listing copy. Start there.
Give it facts, then review
Paste the real facts, ask for a draft, then edit. You're the editor; it's the first-draft writer.
