What is falling through the cracks?
Write the job description you would give a candidate. List the actual work, whether it is a personal assistant role or another position. A clear job gives you something concrete to evaluate.
What can it do, and what can it not do?
Have AI apply. Ask what it can handle, what it brings to the role, and where it falls short. Require sources for capability claims, then open and check those sources. A confident application is still only a claim.
What still needs a person?
Test the parts that appear workable with real inputs before relying on them. Keep the gaps visible, including work AI cannot do reliably. You may still need to hire; you will have a clearer picture of the role. The decision stays yours, and a convincing answer does not create a free employee.

This is how to leverage AI and not have to hire an employee. Let's say you want a personal assistant just to take care of stuff that's falling through the cracks, so you can stay more on top of things. Create a job description. This is for anything. Create a job description, give it to AI, and have AI apply for that position. Ask it, "Can you do this? Yes or no?" If yes, "What do you bring to the table? And source your answers to me." Don't trust it. Check the sources. Big question to ask it: "What are the detriments that you bring to the table? What are the things that you can't do? And be honest, and source it." No matter what, you just created literally a free employee. I'm Jeff Fargo. I can help you systemize and scale with AI. Go forth.
