### Clarifying Questions
- Do tools I also use at work count when I use them for personal tasks, or only uses that have nothing to do with work?
- Should I stick to generative AI assistants, or does any AI-powered product, such as photo search or navigation, count?
- Would you rather hear one example in depth or several briefly?
### What a Strong Answer Covers
- Specific, recent examples with enough detail to show real and repeated use rather than a list of tool names.
- Why AI fit each task and what changed as a result.
- How output is checked, where it has failed, and what is deliberately kept away from AI, including private personal information.
- What personal use has taught about building AI for professionals, such as lawyers, who need accurate, sourced and confidential work.
### Follow-up Questions
- Tell me about a time an AI tool gave you a confident answer that turned out to be wrong. What did you do next?
- Which personal task would you not hand to AI, and why?
- What would a lawyer need from an AI tool that you do not need in your personal use?
