How to Delegate Your Dirty Work to AI in 3 Steps
How much time do you spend each week doing stuff you hate?
Not your actual job. The side tasks. The paperwork. The verifications. The endless research. The copy-pasting of data. The tasks you put off until the last minute because they bore you to death.
That's the dirty work. And AI can do it for you.
Not by replacing your expertise. By using it. AskMojo is a tool that uses your data, your know-how, to execute repetitive work on your behalf.
What Exactly Is Dirty Work?
It's everything that takes your time without using your expertise.
If you're in HR or recruiting:
- Checking that your job postings comply with labor laws
- Verifying contracts match collective bargaining agreements
- Tracking changes in employment regulations
If you're in e-commerce:
- Checking legal disclaimers on product pages
- Verifying GDPR compliance for marketing campaigns
- Monitoring competitor prices across 15 different sites
If you manage real estate:
- Checking that leases comply with current laws
- Making sure all required inspections are documented
- Tracking rent control rules by zone
If you're in sales or consulting:
- Preparing client briefs before meetings (history, stakes, recent news)
- Researching and qualifying prospects across dozens of sources
- Analyzing contracts to spot problematic clauses
If you're in marketing:
- Checking that your ads meet advertising standards
- Synthesizing 200 customer reviews to extract insights
- Summarizing an 80-page report into 5 key points
Sound familiar?
These tasks have one thing in common: they're necessary, time-consuming, and they don't require your creative genius. Just time. Lots of time.
Step 1: Identify Your Dirty Work
You don't have to look far. Ask yourself these questions:
What makes you sigh when it shows up on your calendar? It's probably repetitive, predictable, and you already know how to do it—you just don't want to.
What do you systematically put off? The tasks that sit at the bottom of your to-do list for days. The ones you do "when you have time" (meaning never).
What takes an hour but doesn't really use your skills? If someone motivated with a checklist could do it, AI can probably do it too.
Make a list. Even a mental one. You'll see—it's longer than you think.
Step 2: Create a Process
This is where most people get stuck: "I don't know how to explain what I do to an AI."
That's normal. When you've been doing a task for years, you do it on instinct. You don't think about the steps anymore.
That's where AskMojo comes in.
You don't have to start from a blank page. AskMojo suggests a starting process based on your task. A first version you can modify, adjust, complete.
For example:
- You say: "I need to check that my job postings are compliant"
- AskMojo suggests: a workflow that checks required mentions, non-discrimination, legal elements
- You adjust: "Add verification against the Syntec collective agreement too"
What about regulatory checks? You connect your own database—a Google Sheet with your industry rules, a document with your collective agreement, a compliance checklist. AskMojo reads your data and checks each document against your criteria. The expertise stays yours. The execution is AskMojo's.
The process becomes yours. You didn't write it from scratch, but you shaped it to fit your reality.
Step 3: Delegate and Refine
A process is never perfect the first time. And that's fine.
Run it on a real case. Not a theoretical test. Something you actually need to do this week.
See what breaks. Did the AI miss something? Is a step missing? Is the result not precise enough?
AskMojo helps you refine. You tell it what's wrong, and it suggests adjustments. "The report is too long" → it tightens. "Missing the regional analysis" → it adds the step. You don't have to rewrite the process yourself.
After 2-3 iterations, you have a process that works. And then the dirty work becomes a button you click.
What This Actually Changes
A real estate developer used to spend hours researching market data before every project. Now a workflow pulls the data, analyzes trends, and generates a report. Time spent: 2 minutes instead of 3 hours.
A consultant knew he should post on LinkedIn to build his reputation, but he never had time. Now a process drafts posts from his expertise. He reviews, adjusts, publishes. 10 minutes instead of "never."
An event producer had incredible photos from high-end weddings but no marketing. Now a workflow takes his photos and generates Instagram captions that match his brand.
None of these started with "I want an AI feature."
They all started with "I hate doing this."
The Question That Matters
Close your eyes. Think about your week.
What's THE task you always put off? The one you do while sighing. The one that takes hours when it shouldn't.
AI can probably do it for you.
I'm Looking for 10 Testers
I'm Erwan. I spend my days building AskMojo and testing what AI can really automate. Now I need real cases, with real people.
Here's what I'm offering:
-
20 minutes of your time. You explain your annoying task: what you do, how you do it, what result you expect.
-
I create your first playbook. Not you. Me. I build it on AskMojo, tailored to your specific case.
-
You test and refine. I give you free credits to run the playbook, see what works, adjust what doesn't.
And if your case isn't automatable? I'll tell you honestly. No time wasted.
No pitch. No commitment. Just an exchange: you give me a real case to solve, I save you time.
Book 20 minutes and let's see what we can automate together.
Building in public means sharing the process, not just the product. Follow along at @askmojoai
