The practice of reflexively asking “how could AI do 30%+ of this?” before starting any task — replacing the human default of doing it manually. One of the three mindset pillars in the Three M’s of AI framework.
Key points
- Trigger is any task that is repetitive, boring, or time-consuming [src-013]
- The threshold is deliberately low: even 30% AI coverage is worth pursuing [src-013]
- Compounding effect: once the habit is ingrained, almost no task gets done manually without first checking whether the AIOS can handle it [src-013]
- “My default shift is so stubborn now where if anything sounds boring or repetitive, I’m not going to do it. I’m going to use my AIOS to do it.” [src-013]
