Use this prompt to instantly audit your team's recurring tasks and identify exactly where you can safely switch to cheaper models without losing quality.
Act as an enterprise AI systems architect and operations auditor. I am reviewing our company's AI usage to eliminate wasteful API spending.
Below is a breakdown of our current automated tasks, the model we currently use, and our monthly volume:
[Insert Tasks, Current Models Used, and Estimated Volume]
Analyze these workflows and deliver a 3-part triage plan:
1. Identify which tasks are 'commodity tasks' (summaries, tagging, basic parsing) that can be immediately routed to low-cost or open-weight models without hurting quality.
2. Identify which tasks are 'frontier tasks' that strictly require premium models due to legal risk, reasoning depth, or error costs.
3. Provide a simple rubric showing the expected quality trade-off and the exact test criteria we should run before switching models.
What it accomplishes:
Instantly categorizes your company's AI workflows into low-risk and high-risk tiers so you stop overpaying for basic tasks.
How to customize it:
Paste in your team's real daily tasks (e.g., Zendesk ticket categorization, blog drafting, SQL query writing) and include the models you currently have hooked up to Zapier, Make, or your custom APIs.
