A founder's first week with Artie

Start with an operating brief

Ask for a brief from the documents, metrics and conversations you already use. Define the period and questions: what changed, where help is needed and which decisions are due. Keep uncertain numbers labelled until checked.

Example request

Prepare my Monday operating brief from these team updates. Include three changes, the owners of blocked decisions and links to the evidence. Keep the draft here.

Create one recurring responsibility

Turn a useful brief into scheduled work with a time zone and destination. Specify which changes warrant a question. Keep a named human owner for decisions rather than asking several Artisans to run identical reports.

Prepare outward-facing work

Use Artie to research and draft investor, customer or hiring material from current sources. Review recipients, facts and the proposed action before any send that needs your approval. Drafting and successful delivery are separate outcomes.

Expand after a review

Correct stale company instructions and check the next delivery. Add a specialist when a distinct remit helps. Review usage and access as the scope grows. Avoid connecting every app before you know what the first job needs.
