Your working day.Reimagined.
Less busywork.
More room to think.
With Christian Ng · Metis AISCROLL TO EXPLORE AI AT WORK / 2026
00 / THE HONEST PART · 0–1 MIN
Everyone seems to be “using AI.” Maybe you tried it once, got a bland answer and went back to doing it the long way. And you suspect a colleague down the corridor has quietly made it part of their day. You’re probably right. That isn’t a talent gap. It’s a method gap. And a method fits into a lunch hour.
01 / A FAMILIAR START · 1–4 MIN
09:10
Twenty minutes.
A morning’s worth of work.
01A thread to untangle.
02A spreadsheet to explain.
03A meeting to walk into ready.
Less copying, sorting and formatting. More of the thinking you were hired for: the calls only your experience can make.
Which feels most like your morning?
A fictional working day at Harbour & Co. All people, messages and figures are invented. In the triage view, drafts wait for you. Nothing is sent automatically.
02 / SEEN IT RUN · 4–5 MIN
Real tools.
Real output.
Recorded · slidesOne instruction. A restyled deck.
An AI add-in moves a five-slide client review to a light theme, recolours every chart and checks each slide before it stops. Invented sample figures.
A person still reviews every slide.
Recorded · spreadsheetA raw table becomes a dashboard.
Summary tables, charts and notes from one request, built inside the spreadsheet. The institution names are sample labels; every figure is invented.
Totals still get checked against the source.
Recorded · dashboardDescribe it. Get a working dashboard.
A markets dashboard built from a written description: rates, equities and charts on one screen, each page a click away. Figures are illustrative.
Useful is not the same as verified.
Click any clip to watch it full size, at full resolution. Recorded demos use tools that may not be available or approved where you work. Access varies by region, licence and company policy.
03 / THE IDEA · 5–6 MIN
A capable assistant.
You keep the judgement.
Give it context.
The material and the job to do.
Work together.
Ask, challenge and refine.
Keep your judgement.
Check the result before you use it.
A convincing answer can still be wrong. Your expertise remains essential.
04 / MAKING SENSE OF THE NAMES · 6–9 MIN
Different doors.
Same skills.
Gemini
Grok
xAI
Another assistant in the landscape. Grok Bot illustrates the move towards delegated tasks.

From thread
to action.
The launch conversation
Alex · Monday 09:05
Could we launch on 16 October? Please confirm training and support cover.
Priya · Monday 10:20
The training guide is drafted. I’ll circulate it by Thursday. Session date still to be agreed.
Sam · Monday 11:40
Support cover isn’t confirmed. We need an owner for the weekend rota.
Alex · Monday 12:10
Let’s review readiness on Friday. The launch date is still provisional.
PREPARED EXAMPLE / READY TO REVIEW
TAKE THIS AWAY
A long thread becomes a brief you can check in a minute: decisions, open questions, actions, each with its source.
Using only this thread, separate confirmed decisions, open questions and actions. For each action, give the owner and deadline only if stated. Quote the supporting message. Do not turn suggestions into commitments.
06 / THE HUMAN CHECK · 15–19 MIN
Would you hit send?
An AI assistant drafted this client follow-up from your meeting notes. It reads perfectly. Find the four things it made up.
Kestrel Logistics, phase 2
- Mei asked for pricing on phase 2. We send options by Friday.
- Budget not discussed.
- Their legal team is still reviewing the contract.
- Start date depends on legal sign-off.
To Mei Lam, Kestrel Logistics
Subject Great meeting today: next steps
Hi Mei,
Thanks for your time today. As agreed, we’ll go ahead with phase 2 at the budget we discussed. With legal now signed off, we can kick off on Monday.
I’ve attached the final proposal for your records.
Best,
Alex
- Nothing was agreed. Mei asked for pricing. Options are due Friday.
- No budget was discussed. The draft implies one exists.
- Legal hasn’t signed off. Their review is still open.
- There is no attachment. No proposal exists yet.
A safer version: “Thanks for today. We’ll send phase 2 pricing options by Friday. Once your legal review is complete, we can agree a start date.”
TAKE THIS AWAY
Before anything AI wrote leaves your outbox, check every commitment, number and attachment against your own notes.
Compare this draft with my notes below. List every claim, commitment, figure or attachment in the draft that my notes do not support, and quote the line. Then rewrite the draft using only what the notes say. Draft: [paste]. Notes: [paste].
07 / FROM NUMBERS TO INSIGHT · 19–25 MIN
See what changed.
Question why.
| Team | April | May |
|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong | 100 / 90 | 140 / 98 |
| Singapore | 80 / 72 | 90 / 81 |
| Sydney | 60 / 54 | 70 / 63 |
YOU ASKWhy did Hong Kong drop in May?
A GOOD ANSWER
The resolution rate fell from 90% to 70% while requests rose 40%. This table can’t show why. Three causes worth checking:
Room vote first: which would you check?
● April● May
TAKE THIS AWAY
Ask what changed, then ask what the data can’t tell you. A good answer lists what to check, not a cause.
Using this table, tell me what changed and by how much. Then list three possible causes and the data that would confirm or rule out each. Do not state a cause the table cannot support. Table: [paste or attach].
08 / MAKE IT CHECKABLE · 25–29 MIN
Show your work.
Then trust the number.
THE AI’S SUMMARY
“Hong Kong’s resolution rate fell 20% in May.”
Sounds right. Would you put it in front of your director?- April90 ÷ 100 = 90%Source: Hong Kong, April row
- May98 ÷ 140 = 70%Source: Hong Kong, May row
- ChangeDown 20 pointsA 22% relative fall, not 20%
Say it precisely: “Hong Kong’s resolution rate fell 20 percentage points, from 90% to 70%.”
TAKE THIS AWAY
Never paste an AI number you can’t trace. Ask for the working and the source rows, and a “fell 20%” becomes checkable in ten seconds.
For every figure in your answer, show the calculation and the source rows it came from. Say whether a change is in percentage points or percent. Mark anything you estimated rather than calculated.
09 / ONE SET OF FACTS, THREE READERS · 29–34 MIN
One update.
Three readers.
THE FACTS · FIXEDHong Kong resolution 90% → 70%Requests +40%Cause not yet known
Keep the facts. Change the reader. Pick who it’s for.
Prepared examples of the same fictional data. The buttons switch examples; they do not call an AI model.
TAKE THIS AWAY
Same material, new reader: name who it’s for and what they need to do. Change those words and nothing else.
Rewrite the material below for a busy manager who needs to make one decision this week. Keep every figure exactly as given and flag anything unclear. Keep it to 120 words. Material: [paste].
10 / PICTURES FROM WORDS · 34–35 MIN
Diagrams and pictures.
From a written brief.
Workshop examples. Generated images and diagrams still need a check against your brand rules, usage rights and the facts.
11 / FIND YOUR OWN STARTING POINT · 35–36 MIN
Your role.
Your friction.
Start with approved, non-sensitive material. People decisions, financial conclusions and external communications need human review.
12 / FIVE PARTS OF A BRIEF · 36–38 MIN
Five parts.
One better draft.
Name all five, and the first draft lands closer. Leave one out, and it guesses.
01
Goal
Say what the output is for.
“preparing for a 15-minute team meeting”
02
Material
Give it only what it should use.
“using only the notes below”
03
Audience
Name who will read it, and what they need.
“a busy department head”
04
Format
Describe the shape and the length.
“three key points, decisions, an action table, under 200 words”
05
Checks
Tell it what not to invent, and how to show its sources.
“flag missing owners; quote the source for each decision”
13 / BUILD ONE REQUEST TOGETHER · 38–40 MIN
Clearer brief.
Better draft.
“Summarise this.”
What does the reader need to know, decide or do?
I am preparing for a 15-minute team meeting. Using only the notes below, give me: three key points, decisions needed and an action table. The audience is a busy department head. Keep it under 200 words. Flag missing owners or dates; do not invent them. Include a source quote for each decision.
Room exercise: what detail would you add to make this work for your role?
14 / A GLIMPSE AHEAD · 40–41 MIN
First you think.
Then you delegate.
“Prepare my weekly pack.”
One request. Several steps. A human checkpoint.
Agent tools, including Grok Bot, point towards delegated tasks. What works depends on availability, connections and permissions. This diagram illustrates a workflow without running one.
15 / DELEGATION, FOR REAL · 41–42 MIN
An agent in your pocket.
It waits for your yes.
Grok Botby xAI · runs from a phone
Not a chat window. Each bot gets its own computer (a browser, files, a terminal), signs in to the tools you allow and keeps working when your laptop is shut. The new part isn’t the intelligence. It’s the persistence.
ONE REQUEST, ONE SHOT A marketing reel, asked for by voice from a sauna.
- 01Read the ramble. Six “basically”s, “my meta’s branding” for Metis AI, “quip” heard for “clip”. It worked out what was meant.
- 02Found the source. Searched YouTube for the interviews itself. No link was given.
- 03Cut the reel. Three lines clipped, captions burnt in for sound-off viewing, the branding added, vertical for LinkedIn.
- 04Waited for a yes. “Won’t post until you say yes.” The file landed in Google Drive; posting stayed a human decision.
The perfect-prompt barrier is falling. The skill that’s left is knowing what to ask for.
Made by the botThe finished reel.
No follow-up prompt. No corrections.
Shown from the facilitator’s personal account. The reel clips public interviews with Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and is shown as it was posted on LinkedIn. Grok Bot access in Hong Kong and on work accounts has not been confirmed.
16 / BEYOND THE DESK · 42–43 MIN
Nobody’s job description.
Everybody’s evening.
“Book dinner with Sarah, Friday, 7pm.” In the calendar before you’ve found the app.
A screenshot you hate. The PDF invoice or the feral spreadsheet, rebuilt into what it should be.
“Order the usual.” A whole food-delivery reorder, stopped at payment for your approval.
Teach it once. A chore you repeat every week becomes one word.
Personal account, personal life. Keep work material in the tools your organisation approves. Anything that spends money or sends a message should wait for your yes.
17 / KEEP THESE THREE HABITS · 43–45 MIN
Start small.
Stay accountable.
Use the right workspace
Use your organisation’s approved account. Check what information you may share before uploading it.
Check what matters
Trace numbers and sources. Confirm names, dates and commitments. Ask what is missing.
Own the final result
Review the draft before sharing it. Keep responsibility for decisions and actions with a person.
18 / THE CONVERSATION · 45–60 MIN
What would you do
with a little more
room to think?
Bring a task, a question or a healthy dose of scepticism.
“Could it help with…?”“Where would I start?”

About this session
A 60-minute lunch & learn for mixed corporate audiences: 45 minutes of presentation and discussion, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. No prior AI experience or software installation required.
The page includes prepared examples and simple interactive calculations. It does not connect to an AI service or company systems. Live demonstrations depend on the tools available to the facilitator.
All sample data is fictional. No client records are included. The three recorded demos are shown unedited at full resolution. The slide and spreadsheet demos use an invented sample file: the institution names are sample labels and every figure is invented. The dashboard figures are illustrative. The campaign images are AI-generated. The home-life card images are illustrative selections from the Metis AI session asset library; they do not depict these specific workflows or client records. The Grok Bot reel clips public interviews with Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, as posted on LinkedIn by the facilitator.
