Welcome to this edition of Prompt, Tinker, Innovate—your AI playground. Every week, we turn a high-potential use case into a hands-on experiment. One idea. One prompt. One push toward working smarter.
This week’s playground: Let AI turn noise into narrative
Why this matters
Let’s be honest: execs don’t want spreadsheets. They want stories—clear, contextual, and decisive. The kind that answer: “So what?” and “What next?”
That’s where AI comes in.
With the right prompt, large language models can instantly sift through dashboards, exports, and KPI chaos to deliver crisp executive briefs—written in plain English, ready to drop into a slide, Slack, or board deck.
Example in the real world
Imagine using AI to summarize campaign performance every month. The results?
Less time writing recap emails
Faster decisions on where to shift budget
More clarity in weekly standups
One team I recently worked with plugged in messy GA4 + CRM exports. In seconds, AI surfaced that one of their campaign CPLs dropped ~30%, but sales-qualified leads held steady—clear signal to reinvest there.
It’s not just a time-saver. It’s a thinking accelerant.
Your AI experiment: Try this prompt
👉 Time to tinker: Copy and paste the prompt below into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Upload your performance data or KPI table. Then watch the noise turn into a narrative.
📝 Prompt: “You are a senior business analyst reporting to the CEO. Review this performance data and deliver an executive summary that highlights what’s going well, what’s underperforming, and the 3 actions we should take next.”
💡 Pro tip: Try these variations:
“Make it one slide-worthy paragraph.”
“Focus only on revenue and retention.”
“Flag any anomalies or risks.”
“Turn this into a Monday morning email.”
What did you discover?
Did the AI nail your “So what”? Would you hit send on that summary? Did it save you time or sharpen your thinking?
