    How this interactive diagnostic works

    Read what it covers here first. Nothing is saved or sent until you continue. Your result is calculated once every required item is answered.

    If it asks for your first name and work email, you enter them in the diagnostic itself. This page sends nothing.

    Statements in this diagnostic

    Statements are grouped by section. Answer each one for the situation named in the instructions, using the scale shown.

    Document & Content Creation with AI

    Using AI tools to generate, refine and improve written content, presentations and communications.

    1. I can use AI tools to draft professional documents, reports or emails with minimal editing required
    2. I understand how to write effective prompts that get useful AI output first time
    3. I use AI to summarise, structure or reframe existing content efficiently
    4. I know how to iterate with AI, refining outputs through follow-up prompts rather than starting again
    5. I am confident that the AI-assisted content I produce meets the quality standards of my role

    Task Automation & Workflow AI

    Applying AI to automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows and increase personal productivity.

    1. I have identified at least three repetitive tasks in my role that AI could automate or significantly accelerate
    2. I actively use AI tools to save time on routine work, not just occasionally, but as part of my workflow
    3. I know which AI tools are most appropriate for different types of tasks in my context
    4. I can set up simple AI-powered workflows or integrations without needing technical support
    5. I regularly evaluate whether a task I am doing manually could be handled better by AI

    Collaborative AI & Human-AI Teaming

    Working effectively with AI as a collaborative partner, knowing when to trust it, when to override it, and how to integrate it into team workflows.

    1. I understand the difference between tasks where AI adds genuine value and tasks where human judgement is irreplaceable
    2. I know how to review and critically evaluate AI outputs before using or sharing them
    3. I am comfortable discussing AI-assisted work openly with colleagues and managers
    4. I contribute to my team's collective understanding of how to use AI effectively
    5. I can identify when an AI tool is making errors or producing biased outputs

    AI Ethics, Privacy & Critical Evaluation

    Understanding the responsible use of AI, including data privacy, bias, and maintaining appropriate human oversight.

    1. I understand what data I should and should not share with AI tools in my organisational context
    2. I am aware of common AI biases and actively look for them in outputs I use at work
    3. I understand my organisation's policy (or the principles I should apply) around the acceptable use of AI
    4. I think critically about the source and reliability of AI-generated information before acting on it
    5. I understand the ethical implications of using AI in decisions that affect other people

    How the result is read

    Your answers are totalled for each section and overall. Each total falls into one of the bands below.

    • Developing, 20 to 44: You are early in your AI fluency journey. Focus first on Document & Content Creation, building confidence here gives you the fastest return. Spend 15 minutes daily experimenting with one AI tool and a real work task.
    • Emerging, 45 to 64: You have a foundation but inconsistent fluency across areas. Look at your lowest section and commit to one new AI habit this week. Most Emerging users have strong basics but weak ethics awareness, check your lowest score.
    • Capable, 65 to 82: A capable AI user. You work effectively with AI in most areas. To move to Advanced, focus on collaborative AI, teaching others and contributing to how your team uses AI collectively.
    • Advanced, 83 to 100: High AI fluency. You are ahead of the majority of knowledge workers. Use this to amplify others, the organisations that gain most from AI are those with high fluency distributed across teams, not just in individuals.
