AI Just Became Mandatory. Here’s How to Actually Use It.

After Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke publicly declared that “reflexive AI usage” is now a baseline expectation at Shopify, a new workplace reality is setting in:
If you’re not using AI, you’re already behind.

But what does “using AI well” actually look like? That’s the question Every Consulting answers every day.

In this must-read article from Alex Duffy, Every’s consulting lead, you’ll get a clear, 5-step roadmap to building real AI capability at work—starting right now:

✅ Step 1: Start using AI—imperfectly and often.

No more prompt hoarding. AI fluency only comes from frequent, hands-on experimentation.

✅ Step 2: Know your value.

AI multiplies your impact—if you’re clear on what’s worth scaling.

✅ Step 3: Document everything.

Your process = your prompt. Writing things down is the foundation of automation.

✅ Step 4: Turn patterns into products.

Repeatable use cases = scalable workflows. What you automate, you amplify.

✅ Step 5: Share your learning.

Don’t wait until it’s perfect. Visible progress builds team trust and momentum.

→ The bottom line: You don’t need to be a prompt engineer. You just need to start. The companies—and individuals—who build AI into their workflows now will define what the next era of work looks like.
