I work in B2B sales as a Solutions Consultant at AiCore, a UK apprenticeship provider that trains companies' teams to use AI in practical ways. Here I share personal projects that show how AI can make everyday work clearer, faster and easier to check. The examples are fictional or have had real details removed. I share what worked, what didn't, and what I'd change.
You don't need to code or install anything to try these. Pick the job you want help with.
| What you need | Start here |
|---|---|
| Help with a sales task | Pick a sales job and copy the prompt |
| Help getting started with AI at work | Try one ordinary task with your approved AI tool |
| A tool for another everyday job | Find a tool for meeting notes, lists, decisions and more |
| Checking whether tracker statuses match the notes | Try Claims vs. Evidence Checker |
| Plainer emails, notes, reports or posts | Paste writing into a private checker, or use a skill |
| Sorting job adverts against what you need | Paste a skill into any AI chat, then your adverts |
| Judging freelance projects before you apply | Paste a skill into any AI chat, then the project |
Watch a recorded run → replays a real skill turning a fictional call transcript into evidence-labelled output. It doesn't make a live AI call. Rather read? Follow the same example as a written walkthrough.
Practical AI Sales Workflows. AI workflows for everyday B2B sales work, from call prep to follow-up, objections and keeping a CRM honest, each with a one-page recipe card. The evidence-status matrix shows what has been tested and how. No independent use has been logged yet.
Practical AI Adoption. Plain-English guides for using AI at work without a technical background, starting with writing a better brief and checking what comes back.
Say It Plainly. Five skills that review or rewrite your writing in plain words, plus a private checker that runs in your browser. In my small tests, a one-paragraph instruction kept a draft's claims as well as a skill did, and on longer drafts both did better than a bare request.
Find My Next Job and Find Freelance Work. Paste a skill into any AI chat with your experience, your limits and the adverts or projects you've found, and it says which are worth applying for, which need a question first and which to skip. In my small tests with made-up jobseekers, the job skill sorted 33 of 33 adverts correctly against 29 with no skill. For freelance work, a five-line prompt did at least as well as the full skill, so start with that.
Commercial Career Pivot Workbench. A workflow for sales and commercial people thinking about a career change, checking the evidence at each step.
Sibling Projects has nineteen free tools, most built from a pattern in the sales workflows: keeping facts and assumptions apart in a meeting write-up, building a scoring rubric for AI output, deciding what to send when someone has gone quiet, and more. Not sure which fits? Try the picker → or paste the router into an AI chat.
To build your own skill instead, Book to Skill turns a book you already own into a Claude skill.
Still early: AI for Commercial Teams, Sales Conversation Gym, Sales Proof Bench and Sales Value Workshop.
The roadmap covers it. In short: fewer assumptions, easier to pick up, more real testing, and more work on what already exists before I build anything new.
- Start with a real problem, not a tool looking for a use case
- Keep facts, estimates and assumptions clearly separate
- Keep a person responsible for the final decision
- Don't put sensitive information into tools that aren't approved
- Publish the honest score, not just the polished result
Not mine, but useful:
- Wispr Flow Media Pause pauses whatever you're playing while you dictate with Wispr Flow, for USB audio interfaces macOS can't mute.
- macos-mic-keepwarm keeps the microphone awake, so dictation apps start listening at once instead of losing the first half-second.
- Premortem, a Claude skill by Ollie Scheers, assumes a project has already failed and works back to why, sorting the causes into real risks, overblown ones and the ones nobody says out loud.
