The New AI Operating System of Work—Goodbye Docs, Hello Executable Artifacts

Work is changing, and we need to talk about it.

No, I don’t mean the jobs thing! Everyone writes about AI and jobs all the time (and sometimes I do too). Today I want to call out that how we work is changing fast, and we don’t have the vocabulary for it. We need to talk about a new way of working that’s AI native.

I've been building products for fifteen years. In that time, I've watched us digitize everything except the actual work of making decisions. We moved from paper to pixels, from filing cabinets to cloud storage, from conference rooms to Zoom. But we're still making decisions the same way we did in 1995: gathering data, making slides, having meetings, following up with more slides.

Last month, I watched a brilliant engineering team spend two weeks preparing for a launch review that should have taken thirty minutes. They knew they were ready to ship. Everyone knew it. But they needed the ritual—the deck, the appendix, the backup slides no one would read. They needed permission to trust their own judgment.

That's when it hit me: AI hasn't just given us better tools. It's given us the ability to completely reimagine how decisions get made.

What follows is the most important piece I've written about the future of work. It's not about AI taking jobs or making us more creative. It's about replacing the entire operating system of how organizations function—moving from static documents to living instruments that make decisions executable, auditable, and fast.

I'm going to show you exactly how to build these instruments. Not in theory—with actual prompts you can use today. Twelve complete examples covering everything from weekly business reviews to launch gates to customer health scoring.

This isn't speculation. These patterns are emerging right now at companies you know. The question isn't whether this shift will happen. It's whether you'll be ahead of it or behind it.

Let me show you how to get ahead.
