How an engineer can use AI, task by task

I work as an engineer. Part of my job is to provide technical guidance to other personnel.

Context: The work draws on building and construction, engineering and technology and mechanical.
Topic: [security products, techniques]
Audience: [users, colleagues]

Explain step by step with examples. Use plain language, one everyday analogy, and the questions people are most likely to ask with short answers.

I work as an engineer. Part of my job is to recommend technical design or process changes to improve efficiency, quality, or performance.

Context: We use Microsoft Visio and Performance Systems Development TREAT; the work draws on building and construction, engineering and technology and mechanical.
Process: [describe]
Data: [results]

Write a recommendation with evidence. Use plain language, one everyday analogy, and the questions people are most likely to ask with short answers.
