How do I figure out what AI can actually do for me if I don't know how to prompt it for complex tasks?

One suggested approach is to simply ask the AI directly what it can do, rather than trying to figure out the right way to instruct it. Examples given: taking a messy to-do list or calendar and asking the AI to help organize it (one member had it organize babysitter coverage dates from a disorganized calendar, and said it did a better job than she would have done herself), or giving it context about an upcoming client call and asking if there's anything it should flag. The key reframe is to ask 'can you help me with this?' rather than trying to issue detailed instructions — essentially treating it like delegating to a team member and letting it tell you what it can take off your plate.
