The Art of Delegating to AI A New Prompting Mindset for Knowledge Workers

AI isn’t just another tool on your desktop — it’s a new kind of colleague. One that never sleeps, learns from context, and can execute complex workflows with astonishing precision — if you know how to delegate properly.

Yet most knowledge workers still talk to AI the way they talk to search engines: with short, shallow commands like “summarize this” or “write an email.” That’s not delegation — that’s task automation.
