Is Your Team Anti-AI?
Top reasons why adoption fails and how to fix it
You rolled out ChatGPT or Copilot to make things easier. But your team… is still doing things the hard way.
They're still writing reports manually. Still onboarding clients step by step. Still asking you the same five questions every week, even though the answers live inside the shiny new “smart” tool.
And you’re wondering: do they just not get it?
They do. They’re just at capacity.
AI adoption doesn’t fail because people hate AI. It fails because they’re burnt out, unsure where to start, and low-key terrified of “doing it wrong.”
You bought the tool. But you didn’t build the on-ramp.
And here's the twist: your goal isn’t to train users. It’s to grow solvers.
Most AI rollouts fail because they treat adoption like a checkbox.
So yes, you…
☑️ Gave them access
☑️ Ran a training session
☑️ Dropped a few use cases in Slack
...then silence. Or worse, ghosting.
And the few who do try? They fall into Prompting Hell and are in endless loop of copy-pasting instructions, asking ChatGPT to “do better,” and wondering if they’re the problem.
The thing is, adoption isn’t a rollout. It’s a confidence-building loop.
If you want people to use AI, don’t teach them the features. Teach them how to win with it… fast, small, and often.
Because prompting isn’t the hard part, knowing what you’re trying to solve is!
Your No-BS AI On-Ramp Playbook
You don’t need a 3-hour workshop or a Notion database full of prompts.
You need a system that helps people try, win, and repeat.
Here’s how to build that:
🍋 Prompt of the Week: “The First Real Win”
Use this prompt during your first team solve or to build your own reusable agent:
“Role: You are our internal AI assistant helping the team speed up repetitive tasks.Your goal is to make this specific task easier, faster, and less painful.
The task is: [insert the annoying thing here, e.g. “summarising weekly client notes into report format”]
Steps:
1. Ask me what format or output I need.
2. Ask for any relevant context or files.
3. Suggest a faster way to get it done using AI.
4. Then walk me through that solution step by step.
Speak clearly. No jargon. One step at a time.”
You can turn this into a reusable agent on LaunchLemonade and there’s no need to start from scratch every time.
Let the Humans Catch Up
Please don’t guilt your team into using AI. Make it feel safe, obvious, and worth their time.
Because the real flex isn’t rolling out the latest model, but in creating a culture where anyone on your team can say: “I think I can fix that with AI.”
