Use AI to identify who needs to be included in a decision before you move forward.
You're about to make a call, send an announcement, or move ahead with a plan — but you have that nagging feeling you might be leaving someone out. Missing a key stakeholder can derail your project, create friction, or force you to backtrack later. Before you hit send or schedule that kickoff, use AI to help you think through who actually needs to be in the loop. Paste a quick description of what you're planning to do, and ask AI to identify who should be consulted, informed, or involved. It'll help you spot the people you might overlook — the team that depends on your output, the manager who controls the budget, the person who tried something similar last year. You'll avoid surprises, build trust, and save yourself from awkward "why wasn't I included?" conversations later. This works especially well when you're new to a project, working cross-functionally, or dealing with something that touches multiple teams. It's a simple gut-check that takes 30 seconds and prevents hours of cleanup.
