How professionals actually use AI with their documents
Six field-specific guides written for working professionals — not the generic "AI will transform everything" pitch, but practical notes on what’s working, what isn’t, and where the real workflow wins are hiding.
What these guides are, and what they’re not
Generic AI content is written for everyone and fits no one. The lawyer who wants to know how to summarize a deposition has nothing to gain from "AI can help you be more productive." The small business owner who needs to review a vendor contract isn’t served by a post that mixes in RAG architecture notes.
These industry guides are the opposite: narrow, practical, and honest about what AI is actually good at in each field today. Each page covers the workflows that are already paying off for practitioners, the ones that aren’t, and the specific compliance or ethical concerns that matter for that work.
If you’re curious about a field you don’t work in, read anyway — there’s useful cross-pollination in how a lawyer thinks about privilege that matters to a consultant handling client IP, or how a teacher handles student privacy that applies to an HR function.
