See how much time AI could give back. Enter how often you do a task and how long it takes with and without AI. You get the hours saved per week and per year, and the value of that time if you add your hourly rate.
Use honest numbers. Count the time to write the prompt and check the result, not just the time AI takes to answer.
Formulas and assumptions
- Minutes saved per task: minutes without AI minus minutes with AI
- Hours per week: minutes saved times tasks per week, divided by 60
- Hours per year: hours per week times working weeks
- Value: hours per year times your hourly value
Example
A task done 10 times a week takes 30 minutes by hand and 10 minutes with AI. That saves 3.3 hours a week and 160 hours a year (about 20 working days), worth 3,200 at 20 per hour.
Frequently asked questions
How much time can AI really save?
It depends on the task. Drafting, summarizing and rewriting often get 30 to 70 percent faster. Tasks that need judgment or fact checking save less.
Should I count the time to check AI answers?
Yes. Always include the time to write the prompt and review the output, otherwise the result looks better than it is.
Which tasks are best to start with?
Repeated writing tasks such as emails, reports, quizzes, product descriptions and meeting notes. Our free prompt guides give you ready prompts for these.
