Before you start: Put a couple of photos of the item in your AI folder.
Look at the photos in this folder. Write me a Facebook Marketplace listing: a title, a fair price based on what similar items go for, and a short description that would make someone message me.

2.Tidy a messy folder
Before you start: Drag 20 or so files out of your Downloads into your AI folder.
This folder is a mess. Sort everything into sub-folders that make sense, and rename each file so I can tell what it is without opening it. Show me your plan before you move anything, and ask me if you're not sure where something goes.

3.Find the subscriptions you forgot about
Before you start: Download three months of bank statements as PDFs from your banking app. Never give it your bank login.
In this folder are three months of my bank statements. Find every subscription and regular payment and put them in a spreadsheet with what each one costs a month and a year. Flag anything that's gone up in price and anything I might have forgotten about. Ask me about any payments you can't identify. Save the spreadsheet in this folder and tell me the yearly total.

4.Do your expense claim from receipt photos
Before you start: Receipt photos plus a blank copy of your company's expense form. Check your company is fine with AI on work documents first.
In this folder are photos of my work receipts from [month] and a blank copy of my company's expense form. Fill in the form with one line per receipt: the date, who it was from, what it was for, the amount and the VAT. Ask me about anything you can't read or can't work out the reason for. Save it as a new file and leave the original form as it is.

5.Check what your competitors charge
Before you start: Nothing to add. This one uses the browser, so have your competitors' names or websites ready.
Here are five of my competitors: [names or websites]. Go to each website and find what they charge for [your product or service], plus any offers, packages or guarantees they mention. Put it all in a spreadsheet in this folder next to my prices: [your prices]. If a site's pricing isn't clear, tell me rather than guessing. Don't fill in any contact forms or sign up for anything.

6.Find out why competitors beat you on Google
Before you start: Your web address and the search you want to be found for.
I want my website to show up on Google for "[the search you want to be found for]". My website is [your web address]. Search for that on Google, look at the top five results and compare their pages with mine: what they cover that I don't, the questions they answer, their page titles and headings, and how much they say. Come back with a list of the differences and what you'd change on my page, most important first. Don't change anything yet.
