Tomoro AI Productivity Design Assessment

Show us how you explain AI
and how you use it.

This process is designed to understand how you think, how you communicate, and how you apply AI in practice. We are more interested in clear judgement and real examples than overbuilt demos.

01

The Process

The process has four stages. Early stages focus on your experience and communication. Later stages focus on how you explain AI tools, what you have built, and how you come across in person.

Stage 1

First Interview

30 minutes

A short conversation about your background, your AI experience, and how you are using these tools today.

Stage 2

Live AI Walkthrough

1 hour

A 10-minute walkthrough of ChatGPT or another AI assistant you know well, followed by discussion.

Stage 3

Show Something You Built

1 hour

A walkthrough of a tool, workflow, assistant, or system you have built using AI, with time for questions.

Stage 4

Founder Interview

In person

A final conversation with a founder in our office.

02

Be Ready To Talk About ChatGPT

Second Interview

Be ready to teach an AI tool clearly.

In the second interview, we will ask you to walk us through ChatGPT or another AI assistant you use regularly. The goal is not a polished presentation. The goal is to see how clearly you can explain it.

  • 1
    Explain what it does Give a simple overview of the tool and what it is useful for.
  • 2
    Show the core features Walk through the parts you think matter most in real usage.
  • 3
    Talk through prompting Explain what makes a weak prompt versus a strong prompt and how you improve results.
  • 4
    Show how you review outputs Talk through how you sense-check, refine, and use the responses you get back.
Example Walkthrough Setup
Imagine you are speaking to a group who already have access to ChatGPT, but do not really understand how to use it yet. Walk us through the tool, how you use it, and how you help someone get better results from it.
03

Bring Something You Have Made

Third Interview

Bring something you have actually made.

For the third interview, come prepared to show us something you have built using AI. Ideally, it is something that improves human productivity or effectiveness. It does not need to be a polished enterprise product. Practical and thoughtful beats elaborate for its own sake.

  • 1
    Choose a real example This could be a workflow, assistant, automation, lightweight tool, or system that helps you or others work more effectively.
  • 2
    Explain the problem Tell us what you were trying to improve, remove, or speed up.
  • 3
    Talk through the approach Show what tools you used, what decisions you made, and what tradeoffs mattered.
  • 4
    Reflect on what happened Tell us what worked, what did not, and what you would improve next.
04

Good To Know

Expected prep time is a few hours, not a major project. You do not need to build something new unless you want to. A strong real example is usually better than a rushed custom demo.

05

What Happens In Each Stage

Stage 1

First conversation

In 30 minutes, we will talk through your background, your current use of AI tools, and the work you have done so far.

Stage 3
