Delegate Document Creation to an Agent
Up to here it was "a person operates an AI tool." An agent (Claude Cowork, etc.) executes from research to slide generation itself.
What You Can Delegate
- Info gathering on a theme → structure → generating slides/documents
- Reading existing materials → reworking into another format
- Handing over data files for aggregation + materialization
How to Ask
With the attached materials and these requirements (audience, purpose, length), make a draft proposal deck. State sources. Use only numbers in the materials; don't invent. After finishing, list uncertain points.
Safety Measures to Always Observe
- Confidential data: confirm input permissibility by org policy/contract
- Fact verification: humans verify agent-generated numbers/claims (fabrication happens)
- Final approval is human: don't submit externally as-is
- Confirm behavior with small tasks first, then expand scope
Positioning
An agent wholly takes over the "legwork of document creation." Sequencing and first draft by the agent; judgment, facts, and finishing by people. As this chapter's wrap-up, this division principle is common to any tool.
