Career and workplace outcome
Build an AI agent personal assistant
Prototype a tightly scoped assistant with minimum access, explicit confirmation points, logs, and a safe manual fallback before allowing it to act on real work.

Success framing
What useful progress looks like
The assistant can complete one bounded task in a sandbox while respecting permissions, stopping on uncertainty, and leaving an auditable trail.
Who this is for
Use this path for a bounded professional capability. Adapt it to your role and authority, follow employer and client policy, protect confidential and personal data, preserve consent and fair process, and involve qualified HR, legal, security, safety, or other professional support when stakes exceed your role.
