AI is arriving at work. Do you know what it is actually going to do?

It is turning up inside the tools you already use — your inbox, your documents, the system you book things in. Most of us will be asked to work alongside it long before anyone sits down and explains what it is.

AI today is really four different things. One reads and recommends. One writes. One acts on your behalf. One coordinates the others.

They get talked about as a single technology, and they are not one. They differ in what they actually do, in how much of the work leaves your hands, and in who is answerable for the result.

AdviserReads what exists and gives you a judgment. Creates nothing, sends nothing.

GeneratorMakes something that was not there before. You still decide whether it goes out.

AgentActs on a standing instruction, without being asked again that morning.

OrchestratorRuns several of the others, and decides what happens in what order.

Telling them apart is the practical skill. It is what lets you judge what to expect from a tool, what is worth checking before you rely on it, and who carries the consequence when it gets something wrong.

This is what it looks like

Sixteen like it. You pick, you move on, and the reasoning comes at the end — all of it, in a report you keep.

This is what the quiz is for. Sixteen situations from an ordinary working week: mailboxes, reminders, quotes, checks, planning. No jargon, no trick questions, and nothing that assumes you work in IT.

Your name Printed on your report. Nothing is sent anywhere — the report is generated in your own browser. Cohort code If you are on a course, your trainer will have given you one. Leave blank otherwise — everything works the same without it. Taken this before? Type the test number from your last report and this one will show you what changed, question by question. It works on any device — the number carries your answers. Shuffle itQuestions and answers come in a different order. Turn this on for a retake so position and habit cannot carry you.
