Reading for Work with AI
Turn articles into action memos, meeting talking points, stakeholder updates, decision matrices, competitive intel, and multi-source research briefs — the output formats your job actually needs.
Professional Reading Guides
6 workplace scenarios — each guide turns reading into a specific professional output you can share, send, or present.
Turn an Article into an Action Memo
Context, key findings, implications, and recommended next steps — a structured memo format ready for Slack, email, or a shared doc.
Meeting Prep: Read 3 Links → Talking Points
Paste up to 3 articles, specify the meeting context, and get concise talking points framed for your audience and agenda.
Stakeholder Update: Reading → 5-Sentence Brief
Situation, key finding, implication, recommendation, timeline — the leadership-ready format that respects everyone’s time.
Decision Matrix: Options, Tradeoffs & Recommendation
Turn any article with multiple options into a structured decision matrix — criteria, scores, tradeoffs, and a clear recommendation.
Competitive Intel: Positioning, Pricing & Weak Spots
Extract competitor strategy signals from any article — positioning claims, pricing indicators, and gaps you can exploit.
Research Brief: Multiple Sources → Single Brief
Consolidate 3–5 articles into one structured brief with key findings, agreements, conflicts, and a synthesis conclusion.
Your Boss Doesn’t Want a Summary. They Want a Decision.
At work, reading is never the final output. Nobody gets promoted for reading articles — they get promoted for turning reading into action. A memo that moves a project forward. Talking points that win a meeting. A competitive brief that shapes strategy. A decision matrix that cuts through ambiguity.
The 6 guides in this pillar each solve a specific workplace reading problem. Every prompt produces a professional output format — something you can paste into Slack, drop into an email, present to leadership, or attach to a strategy doc.
Match Your Work Scenario to the Right Guide
Always define the output before you start reading. “I need a 5-sentence stakeholder update” is a task. “I should read this article” is a wish. When you know the output format before you start, you read differently — faster, more focused, and with automatic filtering for what matters.
Two Work Reading Modes
Most professionals default to reactive mode — reading and responding in the moment. The biggest leverage comes from building a strategic reading habit alongside it: 15 minutes daily with the Research Brief or Competitive Intel prompts compounds into a significant advantage over weeks.
How Work Reading Connects to Other Skills
Professional output is the last mile — but it depends on foundational skills from other pillars:
- Need to summarize before making a memo? → Summarize Articles (P3) — especially the Executive Summary prompt (C017)
- Report is too technical to parse? → Understand Difficult Text (P2)
- Need to question the claims before sharing? → Critical Reading (P6)
- Working with academic or technical papers? → Research Papers (P8)
- Want a daily reading routine for work? → AI Reading Coach (P5)
