Find the bottlenecks in a process

The prompt

Here's how a job moves through my business from enquiry to payment: [describe each step and who does it]. Identify the likely bottlenecks, steps that could be automated or templated, and the one change that would save the most time.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Don't paste in anything you wouldn't want stored by the AI provider.

Steps

1. Describe the process honestly, warts and all.
2. Run the prompt.
3. Pick one change and try it for a month.
4. Repeat.

My verdict

The best place to start if you don't know where AI fits. It points you at your next bot.
