    Separate input, suggestion, and decision

    Read the guide's short practice material. Before opening a hint or sample answer, respond in your own words to the fictional weather-app suggestion using the input–suggestion–decision model.

    Where does AI appear in everyday life? — recognise the suggestion and decide for yourself

    Open guide
    Take with you
    Rule: a suggestion is not a decision, and uncertain information is worth checking with a reliable source.
    Do now
    Write your own response before opening the hint, then view the check criteria.
    Check when you're done
    You can distinguish the input, the suggestion, and your own decision.

  1. 02Turn a suggestion into a checkable questionSkill

    Where does AI appear in everyday life? — recognise the suggestion and decide for yourself

    Recognise an AI suggestion in a familiar service, find out what it is based on and practise exercising your own control.

    Take with you
    Your distinction from the previous round between input, suggestion, and decision.
    Do now
    Write one checkable question without the hint, then compare it with the check criteria.
    Check when you're done
    You have one checkable point from everyday life to carry into the next exercise.
    Practice the skill
  2. 03Turn your own instructions into an action listPrompt

    Turn instructions into an action list

    Turn everyday instructions into a checkable action list without adding missing conditions or deadlines.

    Take with you
    The checkable point you identified in the exercise, your own goal, and an everyday instruction or summary with identifying details removed.
    Do now
    Complete the fields “What am I doing?” and “Instruction text or my own summary”; keep missing conditions marked as [check].
    Check when you're done
    The action list shows the next steps in order, the information needed, and at least one open item.
    Build an action list
  3. 04Prepare one open questionPrompt

    Prepare for an everyday interaction

    Bring the goal, important facts, and questions for a call, message, or meeting into one clear outline.

    Take with you
    Your action list, one [check] item, and the known facts related to it.
    Do now
    Choose a call, message, or meeting. Fill in the goal of the interaction, the known facts, and one question or unclear item.
    Check when you're done
    You have one clear question to ask through your chosen channel without guessing at missing information.
    Prepare a contact
  4. 05Set a realistic order for next stepsPrompt

    Prioritize a task list

    Sort a task list using stated goals, deadlines, and dependencies.

    Take with you
    The tasks in your action list and the next step in your interaction outline.
    Do now
    Fill in the task list with the action-list tasks and next interaction step; add only the known goal, available time, deadlines, and dependencies.
    Check when you're done
    The order shows what to start with and keeps visible the unknowns that could change the priorities.
