OpenAI just launched a 34-page master guide to identify and scale AI use cases.
Few key takeaways:
1/ target repetitive grunt work, skill bottlenecks, and ambiguous starts, where AI can unblock people fast.
2/ Teach the 6 primitives: Content creation + Research + Coding + Data analysis + Ideation/strategy + Automation.
3/ Crowd-source ideas, then rank with the Impact × Effort grid. (ICE score)
4/ Think in workflows, not just tasks: chain primitives across a department flow (research → analysis → ideate → create → automate) to capture bigger value.
5/ Leadership + rapid experimentation matter: exec sponsorship, hackathons, and shared GPTs turn ideas into company-wide impact fast.
