Why Can't You Use AI Well?
Because You Don't Know What "Role" It Plays

Last week I met a CEO friend. We talked about AI deployment, and he smiled bitterly: "I got AI accounts for the whole company, spent three months, and didn't feel any improvement in efficiency." This is probably the most common feeling among Chinese business owners in 2024.

Core Insight: It's not that AI isn't strong enough — it's that you don't know how to "hire" it. AI needs a job description — to tell it who it is, what it should do, and what qualifies as acceptable work.

01

Don't Blame AI — You Don't Know How to "Recruit" It

Traditional Approach: Handing Out Flyers to AI

"Help me write a proposal."

"Make me a PPT."

"Analyze this data."

Do you expect AI to read your entire background, industry experience, aesthetic preferences, and your boss's taste from a single sentence?

AI isn't a mind reader. What it needs is — a job description.

02

A Product Idea Overlooked by Everyone

AI Job Standards Hub is trying to package \"role standards\" into downloadable \"capability packs\":

Role Definition

Tell AI what its job is

gavel

Operating Rules

Tell AI what it can't touch

account_tree

Workflow

Tell AI how to do each step

assignment_turned_in

Output Standards

Tell AI what the deliverable looks like

It doesn't start working after you give it information. It's already prepared before "onboarding."

03

Why This Approach Is Smart

Layer 1: Lowering the Barrier to Using AI

Most employees can't use AI well because they don't know how to write prompts. But if AI already knows it's a \"product manager,\" you don't need to understand prompting. You just need to speak normally.

Layer 2: Making Knowledge Truly Reusable

The users of role standard packs are AI, not humans. When knowledge consumers change from humans to machines, friction disappears instantly. A good standard pack can be replicated ten thousand times, turning a company's decade of accumulated \"methodology\" into a truly reusable asset.

Layer 3: Redefining Human-AI Division of Labor

Hand the execution layer entirely to AI. Humans only make judgments and decisions. Humans shift from \"executors\" to \"managers.\" This means one manager can oversee more AI employees simultaneously.

04

But It's Not That Simple

warning

Defining "standards" is itself a challenge

Different companies, different stages, different industries — the answers may be completely different

warning

Knowledge sourcing and ownership is a gray area

Where does the methodology in standard packs come from? Copyright issues need clarification

warning

Highly customized scenarios are hard to cover

Healthcare, legal, finance — wrong judgments could have catastrophic consequences

Back to the Original Question

"What if AI doesn't work for me?"

Don't rush to buy accounts. First, figure out what you want AI to do. Is it your "senior advisor"? Or your "executive assistant"?

Before AI can "work with certification," you need to write it a job description first.
