- Explore ideas, options, pros and cons, or alternative approaches.
- Use AI as a thinking partner before creating a final output.
Limitations
- AI can be confidently wrong or miss context.
- A useful conversation is not a substitute for professional judgement where the decision matters.
Prerequisites

Notes
Beginner capability: keep examples generic and task-led.
Watch-outs for Ask & create
- Start with what you want to accomplish, then check whether your organisation permits the use and the information involved.
- Use the AI Redlines for boundaries that should not be delegated to AI.
- Licensing, privacy and governance detail is available separately for users who need it.
