Standardized GenAI Playbooks for every function
Structured workflows with prompts, verification, and data handling — so teams stop reinventing their own process. HR / People is live in preview; more functions are on the way.
Adoption today
Organizations have the tools. Adoption hasn’t followed.
Usage is growing. But structured, effective adoption remains rare.
- 88%
- of organizations use GenAI in at least one business function.
- 1%
- describe their deployment as mature.
- 21%
- have redesigned any workflows around AI.

The gap
Access + Experimentation ≠ Adoption
Tools and room to experiment aren’t enough. Something structured has to sit in between.
Adoption
The target state — teams using AI effectively every day, with shared standards, consistent outputs, and confidence in the work.
The Missing Middle
Playbooks fill this gap — step-by-step workflows with prompts, verification, and data handling, so teams stop reinventing their own process.
Access + experimentation
Most organizations have given teams tools and room to try things. But quality varies, mistakes repeat, and no one's quite sure what good looks like.
The shift
From ad-hoc AI use to structured workflows
Here’s what changes when a team adopts Playbooks.
From
To
Ad-hoc prompts — everyone their own way
One shared workflow per task
Quality depends on the person
Quality built into the steps
Review happens after the fact, if at all
Verification built into the workflow
Sensitive data handled by gut feel
Data-handling rules baked in
Trial and error with each new tool
Workflows survive model and tool changes
Inside a Playbook
Every Playbook is a complete, governed workflow
Not just a collection of prompts. Each Playbook combines steps, prompts, verification, data handling, and samples into one standard.

HR03 — Screening & Candidate Shortlisting
Extract evidence from candidate materials, generate summary cards, and produce a criteria-linked shortlist with risk flags.
CONTEXT You will be provided with the following source documents: 1. Must-Have Criteria 2. Candidate Resumes 3. Screening Notes TASK For each candidate, extract specific, verbatim quotes or concrete facts from their application that relate to each must-have criterion. Produce an Evidence Extraction Table mapping every candidate to every criterion. OUTPUT FORMAT Use a markdown table with the following columns: - **Candidate** — candidate identifier - **Criterion** — the must-have criterion being assessed - **Evidence** — verbatim quote or specific fact from the application - **Source** — which document the evidence comes from (resume, cover letter, screening notes) - **Strength** — [Strong / Partial / No Evidence] Include one row per candidate-criterion pair. If no evidence exists for a criterion, enter "No evidence found" in the Evidence column and "No Evidence" in the Strength column. CONSTRAINTS Do not infer or assume qualifications not explicitly stated in the source materials. Do not paraphrase — use verbatim quotes where possible. Do not include personally identifiable contact details in the output.
CONTEXT You will be provided with an Evidence Extraction Table and the original candidate resumes it was derived from. TASK Compare each evidence entry in the table against the original source document. Flag any entry where the quoted evidence cannot be found in the source, is materially paraphrased, or is attributed to the wrong candidate. OUTPUT FORMAT Return a markdown table with columns: - **Candidate** — candidate identifier - **Criterion** — the criterion in question - **Status** — [Confirmed / Corrected / Removed] - **Note** — explanation of any correction or removal CONSTRAINTS Do not add new evidence that was not in the original extraction. Only confirm, correct, or remove existing entries.
CONTEXT You will be provided with a Verified Evidence Table that maps each candidate’s application evidence to the must-have criteria for the role. TASK For each candidate, generate a summary card that consolidates the evidence into a concise profile. Each card should state the candidate’s overall strength against the criteria, highlight the strongest evidence, and note any criteria with weak or missing evidence. OUTPUT FORMAT For each candidate, use this structure: ### [Candidate Identifier] - **Overall Fit**: [Strong Fit / Moderate Fit / Weak Fit] - **Strongest Evidence**: 2–3 bullet points citing the most compelling criterion-evidence pairs - **Gaps or Weak Areas**: 1–2 bullet points noting criteria with Partial or No Evidence ratings - **Screening Note**: One sentence summarizing the recruiter’s overall impression EXAMPLE ### Candidate A - **Overall Fit**: Strong Fit - **Strongest Evidence**: - Technical Skills: "Led migration of three legacy systems to cloud infrastructure" (Resume) - Experience: "8 years in enterprise platform engineering" (Resume) - **Gaps or Weak Areas**: - Core Competencies: No evidence of stakeholder management experience - **Screening Note**: Strong technical profile with a gap in stakeholder-facing experience. CONSTRAINTS Do not introduce qualifications or evidence not present in the Verified Evidence Table. Do not rank or recommend candidates — summary cards are descriptive only.
HR / People — projected impact
18 workflows. ~100 hours back. Every cycle.
Projected for a team running the full HR / People set end-to-end — hiring, operations, development, and governance.
- 18
- end-to-end workflows, from hiring through governance
- ~100
- hours saved each time the team runs the full set
- 50%
- faster than doing the same work without a Playbook
Note: Figures are directional, based on one full pass through each of the 18 workflows. Real savings vary with team size, volume, and how mature your current process is.
How teams adopt Playbooks
One journey, three phases
Each phase builds on the last.
Align
Shared standard
"Set a common standard of what good looks like."
Adopt the Playbooks as your team's shared standard for what good prompting looks like, what strong output includes, and what to check before work moves forward.
Enable
Structured learning
"Build capability around the standard, not around trial and error."
Use the Playbooks as practical learning tools for self-paced study or instructor-led Labs. Steps guide the session, prompts drive the exercises, and examples show the target standard.
Stay Current
Living resources
"Stay current as AI evolves, without rebuilding from scratch."
The Playbooks are living resources that evolve with models, tools, and best practices. What your team adopts today stays useful because the system improves over time.
