Understand how your tasks connect from start to finish.
Break personal and work activities into manageable steps.

Recognize when consistent results matter, and when variable AI response is acceptable.
Use clear criteria instead of guesswork when choosing whether to use AI.

Know what to automate and what not to

Decide whether to automate, use AI for support, simplify first, or keep it human. 
Spot tasks involving sensitive data, creativity, complex judgment, or high stakes.
Don’t automate work that is already inefficient or poorly designed.

Break personal or work activities into clear steps.
Spot repetitive, time-consuming, or error-prone tasks.

Understand the task before using AI

Why process thinking comes first

See how using AI too soon can create more problems than it solves.

One task or a series of steps?

Learn to distinguish a single task from a complete workflow with multiple connected steps.

Map the work and spot what slows you down

Break a process into clear steps from start to finish

Turn a personal or professional workflow into a simple process map you can examine and improve.

Find where you lose effort and time

Spot waiting, searching, copying, redoing, and unnecessary back-and-forth.

Choose what to improve first

Focus on the steps that take the most time, happen most often, or are most likely to go wrong.

Decide where AI can help

Apply practical AI-readiness criteria

Evaluate whether a step is repetitive, follows clear rules, can be verified, and carry little risk.

Understand predictable vs. variable results

Decide where you need the same accurate result every time and where the non-deterministic nature of AI may be acceptable.

Think about what could go wrong

Consider how easily you can check the result, the impact of mistakes, and how often exceptions occur.

Decide what AI should (and shouldn’t) do

Recognize where people matter most

Identify tasks involving creativity, sensitive information, complex judgment, or important decisions.

Choose the best approach

Decide whether to use AI for support, automate the task, simplify it, remove it, or do it yourself.

Avoid automating the wrong things

Recognize when a process should be fixed before it is automated, and when AI is simply not the right solution.

There is no other tech-ed organization in Bulgaria like Telerik Academy. These are not only my words. I know a lot of expats who came back to Bulgaria and people who quit their jobs or put their university studies on hold to be able to fully dedicate themselves to the Academy.
