What you get

Four downloads from the session, free to get. Use them as a starting point for your winery.

AI acceptable use policy template

Tell your team what can and can't go into an AI tool. A short, plain-English policy with an approved-tools list and a sign-off line for everyone who uses AI for your winery.

AI checklist for onboarding and offboarding

Use AI to bring new hires on and send departing employees off smoothly, with every step in one place.

HR use cases

See which HR tasks are safe to start, which need a guardrail, and which stay human.

Prompts to get you started

Copy one, paste it into your AI tool, and try it this week.

What we covered

1. Choose your lens

Some people see an AI utopia, and others see a Terminator-like end of days. At Endsight, we choose optimism with flexibility.

2. Freedom within a framework

A few clear guardrails give your people the confidence to use AI well. Templates: the AI acceptable use policy and the onboarding and offboarding checklist.

3. Putting it to work

Hand off the admin, get help with drafts, and keep the judgment hands on. Three case studies: recruiting, performance reviews, and development plans. Plus prompts to get you started.

Automate the admin. Assist the judgment. Enable the human.
