Build AI that Reduces Work

How Organizations Can Use AI to Remove Work, Not Multiply It

Hey Productivity Explorer,

Last week, I wrote about a strange pattern many teams are seeing with AI.

The tools are getting dramatically faster. Drafts appear instantly. Analysis takes minutes instead of hours. Reports can be generated almost automatically.

And yet your workday doesn’t feel lighter.

If anything, most people like you feel busier.

That post explored why that paradox keeps appearing inside organizations.

But it raised a bigger question.

If artificial intelligence is increasing our capacity to produce work, why doesn’t the workload actually shrink?

Over the past few months, I’ve been exploring that question in much more depth.

Today I’m sharing the result: the completed “Build AI That Reduces Work” Manifesto. (Paid subscribers of Solve with AI can download it for free using the link below.)

This manifesto explores why that happens and what you must do differently if you want AI to actually reduce work instead of expanding it.

It’s a short 25 pages, it lays out the core idea I believe will shape the next decade of how organizations operate: Reduction-First AI.

As always, I’m sharing this first with paid subscribers.

You can read the full manifesto below.
