You Became the Bottleneck
1
The AI is fast.
2
You are slow.
5 / 28
The 95% Problem
1
95% of companies fail to get ROI from AI.
2
Not because AI doesn't work.
3
Because they don't have workflows figured out.
6 / 28
What Is a Workflow?
1
A workflow is just work that flows.
2
Trigger starts it. Steps happen. Output gets delivered.
7 / 28
The AI Officer's Job
1
Finding workflows is the job.
2
Every company has dozens hiding in plain sight.
8 / 28
Automation Spectrum
1
Manual -- you do everything.
2
Semi-Automated -- AI helps.
3
Automated -- the workflow runs without you.
9 / 28
The 5-Part Workflow Blueprint
1
1. Trigger -- what starts it
2
2. Data -- what info is needed
3
3. AI Step -- what AI does
4
4. Action -- where output goes
5
5. Log -- what gets recorded
10 / 28
Trigger
1
What starts the workflow.
2
Time-based. Event-based. Manual.
3
A good trigger means you don't have to remember.
11 / 28
Data
1
What information is needed.
2
Sometimes it comes from the trigger. Sometimes you need to fetch it.
3
Your workflow is only as good as your data.
12 / 28
AI Step
1
What AI does with the data.
2
Generate. Transform. Extract. Classify.
3
This is your Packaged AI, now inside a system.
13 / 28
Action
1
Where output goes.
2
Send it. Assign it. Update it.
3
This is where real work happens.
14 / 28
Log
1
AI doesn't remember.
2
Your logs become its memory.
15 / 28
The Pattern Works Everywhere
1
Make.com. Zapier. n8n. Power Automate.
2
Different tools. Same pattern.
3
Trigger -- Data -- AI -- Action -- Log.
16 / 28

1
Trigger: New row in Google Sheets.
2

17 / 28

2
Watch for new rows in Google Sheets.
3
When a new row appears, the workflow starts.
18 / 28
Exercise -- Step 2: AI Step
1
Exercise: Connect your AI step.
2
Feed the lead data into your prompt.
3
Get a personalized response back.
19 / 28
Exercise -- Step 3: Action
1
Exercise: Set up the action.
2
Send the AI-generated email via Gmail.
3
The response goes out without you touching it.
20 / 28
Exercise -- Step 4: Log
1
Exercise: Set up the log.
2
Write the results back to your spreadsheet.
3
Timestamp. Input. Output. Status.
21 / 28
Exercise -- Step 5: Test
1
Exercise: Run the full workflow.
2
Add a test lead. Then check everything.
3
Did the trigger fire? Did AI respond? Did the email send? Did the log update?
22 / 28
The Moment
1
You add a test lead.
2
Then check your inbox.
3
That email was written and sent without you.
23 / 28
When It Breaks
1
Click the error. Read it.
2
Most fixes are obvious.
24 / 28
What You Just Unlocked
1
You built a system, not a tool.
2
Trigger watches. Data flows. AI processes. Action delivers. Log tracks.
25 / 28
What's Next
1
Your workflow treats everything the same.
2
But inputs aren't the same.
3
Next mission: add the logic layer.
26 / 28
The Stack

27 / 28
Your Commitment

2
Not a concept. Not a draft.
3
Something that runs with real inputs.
